In the second and final part of our episode with Dr. Pablo Rodriguez, the doctors talk about COVID-19 and why it spreads so quickly in densely populated communities.

“We immediately knew that the pandemic was caused by close contact, and people who live in high-density communities or work in meat packing plants or fish packing plants would be at risk,” Dr. Rodriguez said. “It’s the living conditions, not individual behaviors, that put people at higher risk.”

With our co-hosts Dr. Philip Chan and Dr. Jim McDonald, Dr. Rodriguez discusses one of Rhode Island’s towns that was hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic, Central Falls. With an area of only 1.29 square miles and a population of more than 19,000, it’s Rhode Island’s most densely populated municipality. It also had some of the highest rates of COVID-19 cases.
