My Link Tree can be found at: https://linktr.ee/CauseofDeathpod I wanted to take a moment to discuss some recent happenings in the world of epidemiology. I’m going to talk about some diseases that I’ve addressed in previous episodes, and some that I haven’t touched on yet, but all of them have been in the news recently. I won’t be getting into the etiology and pathology of these diseases in this episode. If I haven’t talked about some of these yet, they’re on the list, so I’ll address that when the full episode drops.
