Take a bite: In the first episode of 2020, Esquire Singapore’s The Bite podcast makes a comeback with a topic that has gone viral. Our hosts, Norman Tan (editor-in-chief of Esquire Singapore), Anita Kapoor (speaker and TV personality) and Debra Langley (fashion and tech consultant), reconvene after a few months to find an infectious disease on their hands (https://www.esquiresg.com/a-list-of-new-greetings-to-lower-exposure-to-the-coronavirus/) —the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).    The hosts are joined by two guests—Dr Sue-Anne Toh (Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Medical Director of NOVI Health) and Prof Dale Fisher (Professor in Infectious Disease, NUS, and Chair of the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, WHO).    Dr Toh has more than 16 years of experience in diabetes and metabolic health clinical care. She has deep research expertise translating scientific findings into real-world applications. In January 2019, Dr Toh founded NOVI Health, a technology-enhanced health solution to prevent, reverse and treat chronic lifestyle diseases.   Prof Fisher’s first encounter with an infectious disease in Singapore dates back to the SARS outbreak in March 2003. Having also been closely involved with fighting Ebola in West Africa, Prof Fisher currently chairs the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network.    Our hosts and the two healthcare experts discuss the current situation of the virus, where it originated, how it spreads, and if it can be contained.    The experts also talk about proper mask hygiene and protocol, and habits we should cultivate based on research about how COVID-19 is transmitted. Can what and how we eat affect the population’s susceptibility to viruses, and will it help to curb a future outbreak?  Prof Fisher was part of an international team of experts gathered by the WHO, sent to China for a 9-day mission to rapidly inform national and international planning on next steps in the response to the ongoing outbreak.    He shared his experience and findings, including the severe health, economic and societal impact that a wide-spreading infectious disease such as the COVID-19 can have, and what other countries can learn from China.     Has COVID-19 become the new normal (https://www.esquiresg.com/galleries/coronavirus-mask-end-of-the-world-fashion-tips/) , and is such an outbreak really just a test of each country’s public healthcare system? What’s the difference between Coronavirus and COVID-19? Are we part of the cause or the solution?    Tune in to find out what our experts had to say.    LISTEN, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE Loved our podcast?
