Few people are as well placed as Professor Karin Leder to comment on the pandemic in Australia. Karin is Head of the Infectious Diseases Epidemiology Unit in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University, and Head of Travel Medicine and Immigrant Health Services at the Victorian Infectious Disease Service, Royal Melbourne Hospital. She is also the recipient of an NHMRC Senior Research Fellowship . In this week's episode our two psychiatrists chat with Karin about why Australia has fared better than other countries, as well as some of the lessons we've learnt because of Covid-19. With hosts Rob Selzer and Steve Ellen.

About this program
Who better to take on the viral pandemic and economic chaos than two psychiatrists? Steve Ellen (Dr Doolittle) and Rob Selzer (Dr Mal Practice) from Radiotherapy examine the major changes Coronavirus (Covid-19) has foisted upon us and our responses to them. Using this period of social distancing as an opportunity for reflection and analysis, Steve and Rob present the psychological aspects of the greatest challenge humanity has faced in generations.
