PANDEMIC 7 - The Frontline

Support us at commonspodcast.com Long-term care workers are in the vanguard in the war against COVID-19. They're not the kinds of workers who get movies or TV shows made about them. In fact, their stories are rarely told. But not only are they battling heroically against this pandemic. They're fighting for recognition and respect within a system built to marginalize them. COMMONS: Pandemic is currently focusing on how COVID-19 is affecting long-term care in Canada.
