212: Ask Buck Part 1

Ever since this COVID-19 thing started, it seems like there is no other news. Maybe what that tells us is that most of the news we ordinarily get on a daily basis is worthless.  But seriously, doesn’t it seem like the world has just frozen into a COVID-19 coma? My ER doc friends joke that […]
