This week on Social Quarantine, Danielle forces her husband, Brian Stewart, to participate in the podcast. Brian is a nurse in the cardiovascular intensive care unit at a hospital in Buffalo, NY. Because he is treating Covid-19 patients regularly, he is the perfect person to talk to about the misinformation and conspiracy theories that are currently being spread online. During the conversation, Danielle and Brian discuss what nurses experience every day vs. popular conspiracy theories.
