1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: What should I do if I don't want to get

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: a cold?

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: Stay away from people all the time.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: We've heard so much about COVID in the past few years,

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: but humans have been living with viruses since the beginning. Smallpox, polio,

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: the common cold, herpies, the flu. It's H five N

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: one two three four four B. It just rolls off

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the tongue right From Pushkin Industries and Ruby Studios at iHeartMedia.

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: This is Incubation, a podcast about the other viruses that

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: shape our lives. I'm Jacob Goldstein, and on this show

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: you'll hear how viruses attack us, how we fight back,

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: and what we've learned in the course of those fights. Well,

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: here why volunteers signed up to spend their vacations getting

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: colds at an abandoned hospital.

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: The researchers would collect all their snotty tissues and try

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: and incubate and analyze the material in those snotty tissues.

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: We'll learn how scientists have transformed our understanding of virus ruses.

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: There is just something about the way the virus was shaped.

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: It always felt like there was no hope for creating.

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: A vaccine until now. Until now, and we'll celebrate the

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: victories like the incredible story of how smallpox was wiped

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: off the face.

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: Of the planet.

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: Eradication means you have to get to whatever disease you're targeting, everywhere,

25
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: wherever it exists.

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: Incubation is a show about humanity's struggle against the world's

27
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: tiniest villains.

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: It's mind bad, crazy, dangerous, so it's completely contraintuitive. The

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 4: amazing thing is it did work.

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: Join me every Thursday starting September seventh for Incubation, the

31
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: viral drama you won't want to miss.
