Whether you’ve lost someone, lost a job, gotten sick or are just feeling lonely, this pandemic is taking a toll on all of us. Today, we discuss two pieces in The New York Times about the physical and mental complications of the COVID-19 crisis.

Here’s a list of everything we talked about today:
“We’ve Hit a Pandemic Wall” from New York Times Opinion
“Even Asymptomatic People Carry the Coronavirus in High Amounts” from The New York Times
“How to grieve the old economy” from Marketplace
“Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine tests positive for coronavirus” from CNN
“Beirut Explosion Update: Lebanon Detains 16 People As Part Of Inquiry” from NPR
“Amazon orders A League of Their Own TV series, reveals changes to story line from film” from Entertainment Weekly

And, as promised, some mental health resources:
