    Meditate, ditch the news & call your friends: How to cope during the COVID-19 pandemic
    Mar 27 2020

He shares how meditation has made him a more compassionate physician, and why he thinks it could help everyone.

But during the COVID-19 pandemic, the cooperative game is gaining traction once again. For more stories, visit: cbc.ca/thecurrent | Get in touch: thecurrent@cbc.ca or twitter.com/thecurrentcbc
