Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Jen Golbeck
Last month, a University of Maryland student died from adenovirus. Since then, more cases of the virus have been reported on campuses in the DMV. The illness presents as a common cold but can escalate quickly.
What is adenovirus and how is it contracted? Today, we discuss what universities and school systems can do to keep students safe from highly contagious illnesses.
