DR. ANNA FARRA: COVID-19, Vaccines, Lebanon | Sarde (after dinner) Podcast #25

Sarde (noun), [Sa-r-de]: A colloquial term used in Lebanon to describe the act of letting go & kicking off a stream of conscioussness and a rambling narrative.

Sarde After Dinner Podcast is a space where Medea Azouri & Mouin Jaber freely, openly discuss topics usually held behind closed doors and invite guests from all walks of life.

In this Sarde, with infectious disease specialist Anna Farra at LAUMCRH, we roundup the current health crisis in Lebanon, debunk myths and talk about experiences concerning COVID-19 and answer a series of questions on everyone’s minds:

What is the current state of Lebanon against the pandemic?
What is the situation of hospitals?
What is an oxygen crisis?
Can we catch the virus twice? How long do the antibodies last?
Why do all Lebanese speak about the “CT”?
What new information do we have about the new COVID19 variant?
How do vaccines work, which is the best one?
What are the protective/preventative measures against the virus?
Who is at risk?
What should we do when our loved ones catch it?
How do we get out of this mess?
