The Doctor Who Hates School Closures

Dr. Monica Gandhi of UCSF has gained national attention with her controversial critiques of the Bay Area’s conservative pandemic response, which she argues has done more harm than good for some populations, especially schoolchildren. Before the pandemic, Gandhi was known locally as a long-time HIV/AIDS care provider who ran San Francisco General’s Ward 86. She talks with Erin Allday about how that work — and experiences in her personal life over the past year and a half — influenced her reaction to the coronavirus pandemic. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
