I appreciate that restrictions imposed as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic mean that there are few opportunities to attend live events such as Grand Rounds in person.

I have been listening to excellent podcasts about COVID-19 at  https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/ Screen shots from your device can be used as evidence eg for this podcast (2 hours) I would claim 2 points Post your ideas on this blog!
