Yeah, that's what 20 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: I like to think of myself as it's not really cosplay, 21 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: that's kind of normal life stuff. Yeah, I am wearing 22 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: um and this is not a plug, but it is 23 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: what I'm wearing. I'm wearing me and these I'm wearing. 24 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm wearing my mac Weldon. Uh. I don't know what 25 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: they call him. You know, kind of the warm up 26 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: pants that you can go to the grocery store in sure, 27 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: but do not go to the grocery store, Chuck, not not. 28 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: And I'm wearing a Max fun Con two thousand and 29 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: twelve T shirt and my slippers. So basically this is 30 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: your UM I got all this free outfit, boy, it 31 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: really is. I paid for the slippers, Okay, but I 32 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: mean if you name dropped the slippers, maybe you can 33 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: get a replacement for him. I don't want to do that, 34 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: even though they're super comfy. Maybe we can get a 35 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: slipper sponsorship. Did you did you ever stop wearing slippers 36 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: out of the house? Uh? Well, what do you mean? So? 37 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: I think it was our five second Rule episode where 38 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: we talked about the point of slippers is to just 39 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: have these things that are house bound and never leave 40 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: your house, and then you you just wear them in 41 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: your house and then instead of outside, so the outdoors 42 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: germs never come inside on the bottom of your feet. Boy, 43 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: that's you're calling out like a nine year old episode. 44 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: Uh you know, I may go get the mail or something. Okay, 45 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: all right, well before you were going and like getting 46 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: ice cream at the convenience store in those things if yeah, yeah, 47 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: and I feel like the fact that you're not doing 48 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: any more, you may have forgotten, but that's my influence, chuck. 49 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: Or I may have just gotten gained some self respect, 50 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: right there you go. I like to think both of 51 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: those from my influence. Okay, uh yeah. So at the 52 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: head of the show, I think we should announce we're 53 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: doing an episode on COVID nineteen. It is Tuesday. I 54 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: don't even know what date it is. And this will 55 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: come out on the right, that's what Jerry's promising right now. 56 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: That remains to be seen though, so it'll be sort 57 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: of up to date. But two days a lot can change, um, 58 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: as we all know. Uh. And the other thing too, 59 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: is it I think we are going to stay out 60 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: of sort of the politics and the economics of the 61 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: of this, because that's an almost separate podcast in itself 62 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: that I have no interest in ever doing I Well, 63 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm surprised to hear you say that last part. I 64 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: was figuring that that would be one we do, like 65 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: years from now, like go back and look at the 66 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: coronavirus pandemic of because I think so many weird, remarkable, 67 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: in interesting things are going to grow out of this 68 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: and are already going on. I could totally see us 69 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: doing that. But I get what I can vibe on 70 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: what you're saying, because after recording this, like I'm hoping 71 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: that we can finish this episode and never talk about 72 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: coronavirus again. Like, I get what you're saying. That would 73 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: be great. Yeah, I'm tired of knowing about it, you know. Yeah, 74 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: And we you know, we debated quite honestly whether or 75 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: not to even do this, but it seems like we 76 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: had more people asking for just a level headed take 77 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: on it from us than people saying, I would really 78 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: rather be distracted, so we'll distract you after today. Yeah. 79 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: And we're also, I mean, we're not riding that wave 80 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: where we're like trying to feed your news addiction that 81 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: like you can't get enough breaking information about this global pandemic. 82 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: Like like you said, we're just trying to add just 83 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: trying to do a stuff you should know on coronavirus, 84 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: on COVID nineteen specifically, and we we got we got 85 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: some big help, a big assist from Dave Rouge, who 86 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: initially pushed back. We had to convince him to do it. Remember, 87 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: he's like, you sure if people want to hear this? Yeah, 88 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, we're pretty sure. We'll find out though. 89 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: So thanks a lot, Dave Rouse, you did good. And also, um, 90 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: a big shout out to the grabster to who's been 91 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: under the weather so hanging their grab stir. Yeah, so 92 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: let's let's get going. I learned a lot in the 93 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: last couple of days. Uh. And the first kind of 94 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: dumb thing that I learned was that COVID nineteen stands 95 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: for coronavirus disease two thousand nineteen, which I didn't even 96 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: know that until two days ago. Is that right? Yeah? 97 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: I mean it's not talked about a lot, and I 98 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: didn't bother to look it up. So yeah, and I 99 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: guess it's not intuitive looking at it if you think 100 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: about it, But um, there's other names for it to 101 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: the who so so what you just said coronavirus disease 102 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen COVID nineteen. That's the name of the disease, right, 103 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: there's another name for the disease that the who calls 104 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen and cove okay, and then the virus 105 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: itself if you want to really show off at your 106 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: next online dinner party. Um, the virus itself is is 107 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: technically named stars Cove two. Yeah, dash big seed, little 108 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: old big vas too. That's right. And as we'll see, 109 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: the reason that it is called stars Cove two is 110 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: because it bears a striking genetic resemblance to stars Cove one. 111 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: I guess you could call it or the stars the 112 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: stars virus that um that swept the swept the world 113 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: not too long ago too, Yeah, And I can't help 114 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: every time I hear of stars I still the first 115 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: thing I think of is the Saturday Night Live sketch 116 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: with Peter stars Guard when he developed the Stars Guard 117 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: stars Guard. Yeah, when did we talk about that before? 118 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: Was it the virus is one or the Spanish flu episode? Maybe? 119 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: I don't think we did one on stars did No, 120 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: not as far as I remember, huh, Because because I 121 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: don't know much about coronaviruses, or I didn't until we 122 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: really started researching this. But um, that is what covid is. 123 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: It's a coronavirus, and coronaviruses have been around for a while. Um. 124 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: They're a family of viruses that typically cause upper respiratory 125 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: infections in humans and chickens and pigs and cows. Coronavirus 126 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: is usually cause um diarrhea or intestinal infections. Um, but 127 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: in humans it's usually the upper respiratory tract. Although we 128 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: have seen now that coronavirus can cause pig or cow 129 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: like infections in humans too, we've seen that recently. But 130 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: but for the most part, you've probably been exposed to 131 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: a coronavirus. You've probably been made sick by one. And 132 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: normally coronavirus is just give us something that we would 133 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: take as a cold or a common flu. Yeah. And 134 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: the corona means crown in both Spanish and Latin. And 135 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: these images that you've seen, the illustrations of what it 136 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: looks like under a microscope, Um, those little spikes protruding 137 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: from the surface, those are kind of what I guess 138 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: how it got its name as corona. Yeah, Dave puts 139 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: it here like it reminds him of Pinhead from the 140 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: Hell Raiser movies, who, by the way, has a really 141 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: good backstory. I was reading about him just happen by 142 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: happenstance the other day. Yeah, he's a really interesting guy. 143 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: The whole reason he got into, you know, being a 144 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: center byte in Hell was, um, he was disillusioned by 145 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: the chaos of World War One and lost like all 146 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: all faith in any meaning to life, so he started 147 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: to he just ditched this world for hell instead. Oh wow, 148 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: I didn't know there was a backstory. Oh yeah, there's 149 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: a bunch of It's kind of been built up over 150 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: the course of some of Clive Barker's novels. The movies 151 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: have contributed to it, some other people have kind of 152 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: contributed to it. And there's like this robust kind of 153 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: mythos around that guy. It's it's really interesting stuff. See, 154 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm appreciated eating our sides more than ever today. Yeah, 155 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: I mean to it's kind of like, do we have 156 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: to talk about this? Yeah, let's talk more about movies. 157 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: Have you seen the new Candy Man that's coming? Are 158 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: they remaking Candy Man? Yeah, Jordan Peel's producing it, and 159 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: I saw trailer looks pretty good. Did you like UM US. 160 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: I did. I was, and I was not moved entirely 161 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: by it. I really like get Out a lot more 162 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: than US. But I'm a fan of Jordan Peel to 163 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: think he's got a great mind and everything. But I 164 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: don't know if I was expecting more from US or 165 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: I was expecting something different. I'm not sure. Well, I 166 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: like to get Out more. For sure. US got a 167 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: little wacky, but then I think I appreciate it more. 168 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: It's like a sort of a Twilight Zone kind of wacky. Yeah. 169 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: I guess if I had gone into it expecting that, 170 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: I think I would have liked it more. Yeah, I 171 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: dug it great acting too, Oh yeah, for sure, across 172 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: the board. All right, do we have to talk about 173 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: this now? Yeah? Back to it, all right. See's said 174 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: that chances are that at some point you might have 175 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: had a coronavirus UM. You might have just thought it 176 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: was a cold UM novel coronavirus viruses. You've probably heard 177 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: that in the news lately. This is different because this 178 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: is an animal coronavirus that evolves and then infects a 179 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: human and thus rendering it novel or new to us. Yeah, 180 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: like those other coronavirus is the ones that give us 181 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: colds or whatever. Who knows how long they've been around, 182 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: and it's possible they followed the exact same process that 183 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: these novel coronaviruses have followed. But this novel coronavirus that 184 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: causes COVID nineteen, like you said, it's new to us, 185 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: and we think that it literally just made the jump 186 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: from animal to human, possibly in a live animal food 187 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: market in Wuhan, China. Um and as recently as late 188 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: December two thousand nineteen. Yeah, so there's kind of a 189 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: lot to this. I think they pretty much are pouse 190 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: it of that that's what happened. Um. They think that 191 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: they have a patient zero, fifty five year old man 192 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: from the Hubai province, but they're not positive about that. Uh. 193 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: And now there's some debate about the timeline. UM. Officially 194 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: it was December thirty one, but now they're saying it 195 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: may have been first detected in mid November. UM, the 196 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: patient zero is not confirmed. Uh. They they've also think 197 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: they have zero down the fact that it just like 198 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: in the movie Contagion, it started with a bat and 199 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: then this animal, this very strange animal that had never 200 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: heard of before, called a pangolin has served as the 201 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: intermediate host because they did genome sequencing of the virus 202 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: and it has identical genome sequence to that of uh 203 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: when it's in a human. Yeah, that's it's really interesting 204 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: to think that if you look at a lot of 205 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: the research Chuck, that we're hearing about and we're learning 206 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,479 Speaker 1: and just generally stuff that people walking around know about coronavirus, 207 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: it has come from China doing an astounding amount of 208 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: research and um work on examining and trying to figure 209 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: out and trying to defeat this coronavirus. So, um, I 210 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: mean they've they've they've definitely done a lot of work, 211 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: you could say, for to to to kind of explain 212 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: to the world what's going on. Even though I believe 213 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: they're they're pretty roundly criticized for potentially not warning the 214 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: world and enough time. Um, but I guess that's getting 215 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: to that political stuff. Yeah, and just to be clear 216 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: of finding a patient zero isn't so they can, you know, 217 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: say you did it, you did it, you have to 218 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: pay for this. Yeah, it's it's helpful in trying to 219 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: figure this whole thing out. That's why timelines are important. 220 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: Tracing it back to his roots is important. Uh. Since 221 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: that time, China has closed down about twenty wildlife arms 222 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: to try and curb in part to try and curb 223 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: the pangul and trade, which is a delicacy to eat 224 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: in China. Um, but I just read today apparently in 225 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: Nigeria they account for about fifty of the pangol in 226 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: trade and the penalty they already had in place is 227 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: still the current penalty, which is two dollars and seventy 228 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: cents for a first time offenders. So there's a lot 229 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: of pressure on Nigeria right now to shut down their 230 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: trade as well. And yeah, pangulin is a it's it's 231 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: a mammal, right, but it is covered in like these 232 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: kind of dragon like scales, and it looks like a 233 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: small ant eater. It looks like a dragon head sex 234 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: with an ant eater. Yeah, and it's tough to look at, 235 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: Like it hurts my teeth looking at pangolins for some reason. 236 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: I can't quite put my finger on why. But it's 237 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: almost like they just shouldn't be or something. Well, Uh, 238 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say what I was gonna say, So 239 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: let's talk about the spread of covid. Okay, so UM 240 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: there the way that it's spread initially or the way 241 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: that just about well, any zooonotic virus. I'm not sure 242 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: if all viruses start like this, but they usually typically 243 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: start in an animal and it spreads through close contact 244 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: between an animal, a sick animal, and human who then 245 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: contracts that it's a zoonotic transmission right from animal to human. 246 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: It is I'm surprised we haven't hit on it before. UM. 247 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: And then so that's an animal to person transmission. From 248 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: that point on, that person is infected, they get sick, 249 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: and then they transfer it to somebody who UM, who 250 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: comes in close contact with them, which we'll talk more about, 251 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: but these days, close contact for coronavirus and COVID nineteen 252 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: is considered within six ft for an extended period of 253 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: time or present with somebody sneezes or coughs in in 254 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, a small area, and then that person can 255 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: get sick. That's person a person transmission. And then the 256 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: last one, and this is the one that's the hardest 257 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: to deal with and the one that we're seeing right 258 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: now the stage that we've entered UM around the world 259 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: is what's called community spread. Yeah, that one's the scary one, 260 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: because that's the final stage where people get sick who, 261 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: as far as they know, didn't have any contact with 262 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: another sick person. Um. And this is when you know, 263 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: those very first stages of the outbreak, it was all 264 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: person to person after obviously the animal transmission. Uh. And 265 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: then when it developed into community spread, that's when people 266 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: started to get UM a little freaked out. I think, yeah, 267 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: because I mean they can't say, oh, I was around 268 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: you know Timmy, who's sick with this right now, so 269 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: I got it from him. It's like, I have no 270 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: idea where I got this, And that makes the whole 271 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: thing scary. It makes people freaked out. It makes it 272 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: much more difficult to UM to contain when people don't 273 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: know where they're getting it from, and it it makes 274 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: you need to take much more draconian measures to to 275 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: prevent the spread of this stuff. It's where it starts 276 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: to get out of cont role is when it hits 277 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: community spread. Yeah. UM. And you know when you see 278 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: like these graphic maps of of how it's spread, it's 279 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: really frightening, is the only word that can be used 280 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: to describe how quickly this thing has taken hold. UM. 281 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: And you know this is stuff that everyone knows unless 282 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: you've just been under a rock or like my friend Clay. 283 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: About a week before this happened, he went to Nepal 284 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: for a two month piking trip. Yeah. I was like, well, 285 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: that's your new home, buddy, I hope you like it. 286 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: Is he there still? Yeah, he's still there. Oh my gosh. Okay, 287 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: that's good. He's not sick or anything. He's just hanging out. Yeah. 288 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: I don't think he's seen a lot of people. I 289 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: think he's deep, you know, into the woods and stuff. Well, man, 290 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: that's about as good a place as you could possibly 291 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: be right now. Yeah, And he was planning on being 292 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: there for two months anyway. Uh, yes, he had a 293 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: plan a trip. It may not have been two months, 294 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure. I mean, I am concerned about it, obviously, 295 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: But he says everything's cool. Yeah. It sounds like your 296 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: friend Clay maybe one of the luckiest people in the world. Maybe. Wow, Well, 297 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: keep it, keep at it, Clay. You're doing social distancing right. 298 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: Just go to Nepal and stay in the woods. Should 299 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: we should we take a little break here? Yes? We should. 300 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: All right, let's break and we'll talk about some of 301 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: the symptoms right after this stuff. You should know. Gosh, 302 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: sh stuff you should know. Okay, chuck. So we're talking 303 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: about symptoms here, um there. It turns out so the 304 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: there's like a classic set of symptoms that they now 305 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: recognize as if you have these, there's a really good 306 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: it's right now that you you have COVID nineteen. Um. 307 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: The the cluster of symptoms are a fever. It's usually 308 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: a high fever m hm. A dry cough is a 309 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: really dead giveaway. And a dry cough is you know 310 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: where where you it's almost like the back of your 311 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: throat is tickling and you can get no relief from it, 312 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: and you're not like coughing up flim that can help 313 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: get rid of that cough or that sensation of needing 314 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: to cough. It's like a dry cough. Yeah, which is 315 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: really troubling right now because it's pollen season here in 316 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: the United States and dry cough for a lot of 317 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: people is a is a regular thing every spring, So 318 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: it's especially worrisome I think for a lot of folks 319 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: with allergies, Yeah, for sure. Um and and I keep 320 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: getting like I don't normally get allergies, but it's pretty 321 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: bad this year. And I'm like, I've got not a 322 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: dry cough, but you know, a little tickle here there, 323 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: my nose is maybe a little running here there. So 324 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm like always really paying extra attention to that stuff. 325 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: It's it's exhausting basically. Yeah. And then the third one 326 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: is UM. So you've got fever, dry cough, and then 327 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,479 Speaker 1: difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, that kind of thing. And 328 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: from studies they they've found according to the Journal of UM. 329 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: Uh what is JAMMA stand for? I used to know, oh, 330 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: the Journal of the American Medical Association, duh, so jama 331 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: UM found that on average, people start to display that 332 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,479 Speaker 1: symptom of shortness of breath within five days of the 333 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: onset of the rest of their symptoms. So if you 334 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: have a fever, if you have a dry cough, and 335 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: after a few days you start to develop a shortness 336 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: of breath or difficulty breathing, you're a really good candidate 337 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: to get tested for COVID and maybe need to go 338 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: to the hospital. Yeah. And I've seen um, I've seen 339 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: the chess thing described from people who have coronavirus or 340 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen is everything from you know, fifty pound weight 341 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: on your chest too, to a belt strapped around their 342 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: chest that keeps getting tighter and tighter that you can't. 343 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: That sounds awful, Yeah, it sounds very specific. Um. If 344 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: you feel actual severe pain and pressure in your chest. UM, 345 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: if you have bluish lips or a bluish face, if 346 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're confused and you normally aren't 347 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: confused mentally, then those are signs that they say you 348 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: really need to get to the hospital right away. Yeah, 349 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean that's anytime your skin or lips 350 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,479 Speaker 1: are blue, that's that's a bad sign. But that's one 351 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: of the big um signs of COVID is is that 352 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: difficulty breathing leads to a lack of oxygen, which is 353 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: why everybody keeps talking about this need for ventilators. Um. 354 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: Part of this process of a really bad case of 355 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: COVID we're talking about a bad case here, UM, is 356 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: that you may need a ventilator to help you breathe 357 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: because you're not getting enough oxygen into your lungs breathing 358 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: on your own. So that's why ventilators have been kind 359 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: of like sole pretty stars, um, really sought after in 360 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: this in this pandemic, right now, yeah, and why the 361 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: shortage of ventilators is super scary because you've got in 362 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 1: that situation and we'll talk more about, um, the biggest fear, 363 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: which is overwhelming the medical system. But uh, then you 364 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: have potentially mild cases that develop into more serious and 365 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: even fatal cases, right, Yes, and that typically seems to 366 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: be in seen most in people who are older. I 367 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: think uh sixty five and over is at uh graduated 368 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: increased risk from that age forward. People who have compromised 369 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: immune systems already. I think people with diabetes are are 370 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: at risk. UM. But for the most part, something like 371 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: eight percent of cases of COVID are relatively mild and 372 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: are going to appear to you to be just like 373 00:21:53,160 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: a seasonal cold, running knows, cough um, sore throat um, 374 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: just just something that you would wouldn't even need to 375 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: like do anything more than take some medicine at home. 376 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: For the vast majority of cases of people who are 377 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: who have are going to get COVID nineteen are going 378 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: to experience a mild case. It's actually it's I guess 379 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say is don't be freaked out. 380 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:25,719 Speaker 1: It's very rare to get these extreme cases, Yes, statistics 381 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: are on your side, UM, and that's how it's treated 382 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: as well. In mild cases, it's treated sort of like 383 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: the flu. You get rest, you have a lot of fluids, UM, 384 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: you try to manage your fever, and generally in the 385 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: side of a couple of weeks, you will recover. In 386 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: mild cases, right, one of the problems that I saw 387 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: the chuck is that when the case becomes more advanced 388 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: and you have difficulty breathing, it's it's um. It just 389 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: kind of like reeks havoc on your lungs and the 390 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: air sax and your lungs avioli um start to become 391 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: damn it. And when they become damaged, they can very 392 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: easily get infected and filled with fluid, and then you 393 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: have pneumonia. And that's an entirely different co morbidity that 394 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: is um difficult to manage that that can kill you, 395 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,959 Speaker 1: but also isn't necessarily going to kill you. But it's 396 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: it's another problem that they're finding can arise out of 397 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: a COVID nineteen infection. Yeah, I think uh Dave has 398 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: here down. The latest statistic is about one to three 399 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: percent of infections get to the secondary pneumonia, and if 400 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: that happens, you have what's called ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome. 401 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: And the scary part about ARDS is thirty of those 402 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: cases end up proving fatal. Right yeah, even if you 403 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: have ever been a later right um. And one of 404 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: the things that's kind of confounded people UM studying this 405 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: pandemic has been like that every once in a while, 406 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: a young, healthy person will will die from this, and 407 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: it's very puzzling. It doesn't make a lot of sense. 408 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: And I saw that there was a an article in 409 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: The Lancet from January that talked about a study that 410 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: found that in cases UM where people were severely ill, 411 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: they found what's called the cyto keine storm, which I 412 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: know we've talked about before, but basically, your body throws 413 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: everything it has at this infection, and it's actually an 414 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: overblown immune reaction, so so much so that your body 415 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: attacks its own organs and you can die from multiple 416 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: organ failure. Again, this is in the worst case scenarios, 417 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: but it does explain why some younger, healthy people have 418 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: mysteriously died from this. They think that it's their body 419 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: just overreacted to the to the illness yeah, and you know, 420 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: and I know that they have to report accurate findings. 421 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: But I think one of the things that is certainly 422 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: not helped um with the social distancing is the initial 423 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: news that, um, it's really only a problem if you're elderly, 424 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: are over a certain age. And so now that I mean, 425 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: since then, the messaging has been really ramped up on 426 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: millennials and younger people. Um. There's stories every day now 427 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: where younger people are like, hey, I've got it, this 428 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: is no joke. Please please, please don't take this lightly. Yeah, 429 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: I've seen some people doing making videos like that, and 430 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: and good for them for doing that. Um. Yeah, we 431 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: got a lot of things wrong early on in this 432 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: in this outbreak in the United States, for sure, Yes 433 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: you could say, you could say that. Um. One of 434 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: the other things I want to point out though, speaking 435 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: about numbers and statistics and everything, though, is that like 436 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: when we when we talk about like the rates of mortality, 437 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: which we'll talk about in a second, it's really important 438 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: to remember that, you know, even if the mortality rate 439 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: is as high as three percent, that means that of 440 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: people who get it recover. And one thing I've really 441 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: been heartened to see Chuck, is if just in the 442 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: last couple of days the news agency's have started to 443 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: report total cases, and then next to that are recoveries, 444 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: and then after that our deaths. It used to just 445 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: be total number of cases and deaths. Now there's a 446 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: big old bar in between those two. That's recovered people 447 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: who have gotten the the had come down with COVID 448 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: nineteen and have now recovered and are no longer ill. Yeah. 449 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: I mean the fatality rate is I've seen four percent, uh, 450 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: Dave has here um. Some people place it below one percent, 451 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: some above two. It's somewhere in that range. Uh. And 452 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: if you want to compare it to Stars, Stars had 453 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: a fatality rate of about ten percent UM, but it 454 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: was much more contained. So that's sort of the main 455 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: difference in what we're seeing here with COVID nineteen. Yeah. 456 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: The reason why no one can say at this point 457 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: what the fatality rate actually is, in part is because 458 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: the UM testing was so flubbed early on in the 459 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: United States that so few people were given tests the 460 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: results were skewed, right, So if you took a test 461 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 1: for COVID nineteen, the chances are you had such terrible 462 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: symptoms that you went to the hospital and they tested 463 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: you there. Well, that totally leaves out people who had 464 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen but had those mild cases and didn't go 465 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: to the hospital and so they didn't get a test. 466 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: So this vast number of people who came down with 467 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and it was just like the flu or 468 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 1: the common cold, so that their numbers weren't added to this, 469 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: which makes the number of people who were tested and 470 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: then died really disproportionate to the actual numbers of people 471 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: who die when they have COVID nineteen, at least in 472 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: the United States and in South Korea, which is held 473 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: up as like this model for how to handle a 474 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: pandemic from this point forward. They had plentiful widespread testing 475 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 1: early on and throughout, and they took a lot of 476 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: really good containment measures. But because they had really good testing, 477 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: um it became clear that the fatality rate, at least 478 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: in South Korea, it was point seven percent, which is 479 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: still higher than a seasonal flu, which usually about point 480 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: one percent, but it's not nearly as high as, like 481 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: you said, four percent. So our our understanding of the 482 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: actual fatality rate is not it's not clear yet, but 483 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: it's probably not anywhere near as high as four percent. Yeah, 484 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: that's what the thinking is, um, and that you know, 485 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: the asymptomatic individuals, they are a simps, is what I 486 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: call them. That's another one of the scary parts about 487 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: it is it's hard to get accurate numbers on even 488 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: the number of people that have it because there could 489 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: be there could be people, uh, there could be far 490 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: more people that have it that just don't develop the 491 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: symptoms and are still spreading it because they think they're great. Right. 492 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: There an enormous problem. And that's one of the things. 493 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: I know we've talked about this before, but like a 494 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: worst case scenario for a virus is one that infects 495 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: a person but takes a while for symptoms to show up, 496 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: because like you said, they're a simps walking around infecting 497 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: everybody else because they can spread it um even though 498 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: they don't know they're sick yet. And by the way, 499 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: Chuck a Simps. Excellent band name, and I see them 500 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: all with matching man chi che haircuts, the whole, the 501 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: whole four or five piece band. Interesting the a Simps 502 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: manchy Chi was that sort of like, uh, I remember 503 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: the song ironically, but I can't picture They're they're little 504 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: fuzz heads, weren't they. They were. They were kind of 505 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: kind of like mop top, like the Beatles with their 506 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: matching haircuts. Early on, it was a little like that. 507 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: I guess, all right, are you saying the Beatles were 508 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: a simps the Yeah? I think that was their original 509 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: the original name with Pete Best in Hamburg. Wow. Uh, 510 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about how to how it spreads. Um. 511 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: You did mention earlier, but it bears repeating. Um. This 512 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: six foot rule is because you are most likely to 513 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: get infected by being sneezed around, being coughed around, and 514 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: getting those airborne droplets from an infected person. Even though 515 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: they do know now it can live on surfaces, and 516 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: they're they're rapidly trying to test how long it lives 517 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: on various types of surfaces, because that's that's a big, 518 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: big deal. Yeah. So, and I didn't know this. Um. 519 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: An infected surface is called a foe might Did you 520 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: know that? I don't think so. So. Grocery store cart 521 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: handle foue mic um potentially uh, plastic from a a glove. 522 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: Uh if it's a plastic glove, foe might it's a 523 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: foamte yeah, cardboard. Uh. I know that they're testing cardboard 524 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: a lot right now because a lot of people obviously 525 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: you're getting home deliveries now. And um, just quick little 526 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: non doctor recommendation from Dr Chuck. Here. When I get 527 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: a package, now, I go outside with my surgical gloves on. 528 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: I opened it on the front porch and I put 529 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: a firebomb in that cardboard box. Push it into the street. 530 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: Very smart said I don't bring that outer box inside 531 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: though at all. No, no, no, you send it down 532 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: the street a flame in a wheelchair like um Philip 533 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: Smore Hofman dragon Man. That was one of the creepier 534 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: images in movie history. I think it's great, especially when 535 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: he like hits the wall in like jerks back. Word 536 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: that it was great. Um. The the There was a 537 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: I think a N I H study that looked at 538 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: Foe mies. It found that in the air when somebody sneeze, sneezes, 539 00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: or coughs into the air, that aerosolized um air or 540 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: air sulized virus sorry can can survive for three hours 541 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: in the air UM four hours on copper surfaces, twenty 542 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: four hours on cardboard, two to three days on plastic, 543 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: and stainless steel. Um. The thing is, this is really 544 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: reassuring because I too have been super worried about things 545 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: like boxes or touching grocery carts or anything like that. 546 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: The CDC says that up to this point, there have 547 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: been no documented cases of infection from foe mines. That's huge, man, 548 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: that's huge, because that means that if if you're not 549 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: around a sick person, at least up until this point, 550 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,719 Speaker 1: at least documented wise, if you haven't been around somebody 551 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: who's sick, you haven't gotten it from touching something. And 552 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: that's a big thing that people have been talking about, 553 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 1: Like don't touch your face is one way to avoid 554 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: the spread, which we'll talk about, but don't touch your 555 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: face after not only like being around somebody, but don't 556 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: touch your face after touching a car or box or 557 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: touching a grocery cart or something like that, because it 558 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,959 Speaker 1: could be a foam mic. But the idea that no 559 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: one has gotten sick yet from a foam mic I 560 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: found extraordinarily reassuring. Although it's not like we should go 561 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: get cocky now and you can just do whatever, but 562 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: I feel like I can relax a little bit, even 563 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: though I'm going to be just as vigilant, I can 564 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: be a little more relaxed about it. Yeah, I mean, 565 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: you're not gonna go start licking grocery cart handles like 566 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,959 Speaker 1: you usually do. Man, some of the tastes I've discovered 567 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: or it's almost like it's like the impossible colors version 568 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: of tastes, and some some like almost something that HP 569 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: Lovecraft would had have trouble describing. Well, that's how you 570 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: discovered the new form of umami that had previously been undiscovered, 571 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,239 Speaker 1: right right, jumanti um. And to be clear, to this 572 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: whole cardboard box on the porch thing and the surgical 573 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: gloves for me, um, that's a an abundance of caution, 574 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: just being like, you know, wide not just leave it 575 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: on the porch just because I don't know, and the 576 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: surgical gloves thing. And keep in mind, I really literally 577 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: haven't left the house in ten days, I don't think. Um. 578 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: But previous to that, I was wearing the gloves, like 579 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: when I had to run to the store to get 580 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: our stuff, just so I didn't have to sanitize my 581 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: steering wheel and my car door handle and everything like 582 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: that every single time I did anything. It's just smart, Yeah, 583 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: it's really hard to do too, Like if you're if 584 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: you think about it, you're you're like, wait, but I 585 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: need my hand to touch my credit card because but 586 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: then I need my gloved hand to punch in the 587 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: numbers for my zip code, and like it's like you 588 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: really have to be on point to keep up with it. 589 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: And even then you're just it's impossible to be perfect, 590 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I mean we've been um again, we 591 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: haven't been out much at all, but when we have 592 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: had to be out, we're sanitizing our credit cards. When 593 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: we come back, we spray our door handle and you know, 594 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,439 Speaker 1: not like Howard use level stuff, but just just trying 595 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: to be smart, right, although Howard hughes level stuff right 596 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: now is not not the worst idea, Like I have 597 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: Peenix boxes on my feet right now. No, no, no judgment, 598 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: of course. Um so, Chuck, we're talking about how it spreads. Um, 599 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: what actually happens with this virus is once somebody coughs 600 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: or sneezes or licks their hand and wipes a elevator 601 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: button or something with it. Um, it's it's that is 602 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: an infected surface. Although apparently people haven't gotten sick from 603 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: it yet but more often than not, apparently you're going 604 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: to get sick if you're around somebody who coughs or 605 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: sneezes and you get it from the aerosolized virus. When 606 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: that when that virus enters your body through your mouth, 607 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: your nose, or your eyes, it sets up shop um, 608 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: usually around in your throat, which is where that dry 609 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: cough starts um. And the reason that those those spiked 610 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: proteins that form the coronavirus is crown are there is 611 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: because that's how it interacts with the cell. And the 612 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: way that it interacts with the cell is through an 613 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: enzyme that's present on the outer membranes of most cells 614 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: in the human bodies, and this enzyme is called furin. 615 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: Furin I say furin fu r I N. Furin activates 616 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 1: that that protein spike, and that's how the virus can 617 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: pump its its genetic information into the cell, which hijacks 618 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: the cell's functions and says you're making copies of me now, 619 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: and then it just kind of spreads from there. And 620 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: this is why they think that the um that you 621 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: can get things like diarrhea like a cow or a pig, 622 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: or you can suffer multiple organ failure or it can 623 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,720 Speaker 1: go after other stuff. Is because most of the organs 624 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: and systems in your body have cells that contain furin 625 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 1: on their outer envelopes, and so the the coronavirus UM 626 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: can can interact with just about any cell that has furin. Yeah, 627 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: and it makes me really uncomfortable for you to talk 628 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: about my outer envelopes and diarrhea and cows and pigs 629 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: in the same sentence. Yeah, it's all pretty bad. Uh. 630 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: The and you know we've talked about touching your face, 631 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: which is tough for me as a nail biter and 632 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: just general oral orally fixated individual. Um that six foot 633 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,879 Speaker 1: distance Uh, disinfecting light switches and door knobs and countertops 634 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,359 Speaker 1: surely doesn't hurt. And uh and I know everyone has 635 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: heard this a gazillion times, but we would be negligent 636 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: if we didn't talk about washing your hands with soap 637 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: and water hot water for at least twenty seconds. Um. 638 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: Pretend you're a surgeon, and you've seen shows about surgeons. 639 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: Just pretend like you're in the match camp and just 640 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: wash like they wash. There was no chance that we 641 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 1: were not going to reference match in this episode. I know, Uh, 642 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: they there's different songs like the ABC song or I 643 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: Don't want no scrubs. I guess you could sing like 644 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,439 Speaker 1: a surgeon if you wanted to. Oh that's a good one, 645 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: but at least get in there for twenty seconds. We 646 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: have handwashing parties at my house several times a day, 647 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 1: even though we're not going out. We take our temperature 648 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: every morning, um as a family. And uh, you know, 649 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: because I took that trip to Philly, New York and 650 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: d C right as this was launching to see Bonnie 651 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: Prince Billy and uh you know, we went on two trains, 652 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,879 Speaker 1: two planes Penn Station in New York for God's sake, 653 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,760 Speaker 1: which is already the filthiest place on earth. And uh, 654 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: I was not freaking out, but I was definitely at 655 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: a higher risk than the rest of my family. So 656 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: I've been watching stuff. And tomorrow actually will be my 657 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: fourteen day, the end of my fourteen day window. So 658 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: unless something really happens overnight, then I feel pretty good. Man. 659 00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that. That's great. That's got to 660 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: be a big relief. It is, you know. I try 661 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: not to focus on it, but um, you know, my 662 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: wife and daughter didn't go to Penn station and didn't 663 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: eat a Philly chee steak at two in the morning, 664 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: you know, I know, and yet they could have suffered 665 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: for it, you know. Yeah. So, um, I think a 666 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 1: lot of people are counting down days. I know. You 667 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: me is from this past Thursday, which is the last 668 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: time her dad went out to get supplies, um from 669 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: the grocery store, and she's like nervously counting, accounting to 670 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: fourteen from from Thursday, just trying to will you know, 671 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,439 Speaker 1: him not to get sick um. And I think that's 672 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: just kind of like it's everybody's got these these little 673 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: countdown clocks going on right now of their own. It's 674 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: just talk about like an anxious thing to do while 675 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: you're sitting around in your home, not not leaving, you know, 676 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: to pass right exactly. You're you're you're counting down the 677 00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: days in the hopes that an illness doesn't pop up 678 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 1: in the meantime. Like what a strange, horrible thing for 679 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: everybody to be doing right now. Yeah. Absolutely, Um, we 680 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: should mention masks really quickly to uh. The c D 681 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 1: says there's no need to wear a mask unless you 682 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,959 Speaker 1: are sick or you're caring from one for someone who's sick. 683 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: If you're healthy, if you're not sick, if you're keeping 684 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: yourself clean, masks aren't necessary. You shouldn't go out and 685 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: buy hundreds of these things. Um. I mean, I'm not 686 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: gonna judge in one. If they had some and they 687 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: want to wear them out, more power to you. Uh. 688 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: Some people say that they wear them to keep from 689 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: touching their face because they're really fixated, so that you 690 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: know there's something to that. But um, the rush on 691 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: buying things like surgical masks has um put a dent 692 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: in the medical supply chain, which is not cool. No, 693 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: And I have to say, like, I know we're not 694 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: getting political or whatever, but I've read a New York 695 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,280 Speaker 1: Times article with with this guy. It was about masks 696 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: and the masks shortage, and there was this one man, 697 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,720 Speaker 1: you factorer in Texas, who said, man, short of setting 698 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 1: myself on fire in front of the White House, I've 699 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: done everything I can to warn the government that we 700 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: are in a really precar precarious position. He said. I 701 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: told that the Bush administration, the Obama administration, and the 702 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: Trump administration that we rely on like of our medical 703 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: masks from overseas, and if a pandemic happens, we're gonna 704 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: be reliant on other countries who are dealing with their 705 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: own stuff to send us masks. And he said that's 706 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: even the case with American manufacturers who moved their operations 707 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: overseas for cheaper labor. And in fact, there's a company 708 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 1: that makes medical masks and it's an American company that 709 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: moved their jam to France, and France under this pandemic 710 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,720 Speaker 1: said well, by the way, we've taken over your factory 711 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: and none of these masks are leaving France. You can't 712 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 1: send them anywhere. It's illegal there are though you're an 713 00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 1: American company, this is in France, and we just Nash 714 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: realized everything. So, um, this guy has been warning any everybody. 715 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: I can't imagine what that's like to be to have 716 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: seen this coming so clearly, uh, and to to just 717 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: not be listened to, you know, because exactly what he 718 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: predicted his panned out. Oh boy, All right, well, let's 719 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 1: take another break and we'll talk about containing the spread. 720 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:26,240 Speaker 1: Everyone's favorite two words these days social distancing and um, 721 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: a little bit more about COVID nineteen. Right after this 722 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: stuff you should know, Nash, stuff you should know. So 723 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: I just want to say, everybody, I think it's laughable. 724 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: Anyone including me who thought that I wasn't going to 725 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: get political at all in this episode. Well, you indicted 726 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: the past three administrations. So that's okay. That seems fair 727 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 1: and balanced, fair and balanced. So, uh, until we have 728 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: a vaccine, we can only contain COVID nineteen. It is 729 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 1: about twice as contagious as the seasonal flu. Yeah, that's 730 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: a big, big big deal. Yeah, it's very contagious. Um. 731 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: And like we said, the big fear right now obviously 732 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 1: is loss of life. But the real, real big fear 733 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: is that the medical system becomes overwhelmed and treatable infections 734 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 1: UM can become deadly because we don't have the resources 735 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 1: that we need. Right. So the in addition to social distancing, 736 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: if that one isn't the Oxford English Dictionaries word of 737 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 1: the year, oh yeah, then flattening the curve has got 738 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,919 Speaker 1: to be. It's one of them. They're they're gonna tie 739 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 1: for first probably, and I we should probably blame what 740 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: flattening the curve is for like the three people who 741 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: aren't already familiar with it, shall we? Alright, so flattening 742 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,399 Speaker 1: the curve is this idea that, um, we're going to 743 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: get x number of infections because this is a pandemic, 744 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 1: A lot of people are going to get infected by 745 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 1: coronavirus and become sick from it, right, But what we 746 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: can manage is the time scale that that number of 747 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: infections takes place over. So let's say we know that 748 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,799 Speaker 1: an area is going to get just statistically speaking, a 749 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: thousand infections from this pandemic. It's way different to have 750 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,400 Speaker 1: those thousands and thousand infections all at once over the 751 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: course of one week than it is to have that 752 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 1: same number of infections one thousand over the course of 753 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: ten weeks because of the strain that it puts a 754 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: medical staff and medical equipment. We have a limited amount 755 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,919 Speaker 1: of of medical staff and medical equipment, and if they're 756 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 1: all called for at the same time, that's problem. But 757 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: we can reuse that medical staff, we can reuse that 758 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: medical equipment over the span of time. So a ventilator 759 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: can support two patients who need it for a week 760 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 1: each over the course of two weeks, but it can 761 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: only support one patient of those two if they need 762 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: it on the same week. So flattening the curve is 763 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: all about making this this this number of infections that 764 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 1: were surely going to see spread out over time rather 765 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: than happening all at once. And the main mechanism for 766 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: flattening the curve is social distancing, which is just stay 767 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: away from one another to cut down on that rate 768 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: of infection. Yeah, and you know what, we we try 769 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,720 Speaker 1: to remain judgment free on the show and tell people 770 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: to live their life. But this is one instance where um, 771 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: if you are not social distancing, if you are going 772 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 1: out to bars and restaurants and having gatherings, then you're 773 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,280 Speaker 1: doing a very very bad thing right now. You're doing 774 00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 1: something extraordinarily selfish, full stop. And I know a lot 775 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 1: of people are like, well, I'm young, and it doesn't 776 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: doesn't it's not gonna get me. And even if it 777 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 1: does get me, I'm young and healthy, I'll be fine. 778 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: It will be like a cold. The problem is is 779 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 1: you're the same person who's going out in public and 780 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 1: then touching an elevator button and making that person sick. 781 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 1: Or if you're sick and you're out running around, you're coughing, 782 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,800 Speaker 1: you're sneezing, you're being gross, and you're aerosolizing the air 783 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 1: with the virus. Which can stay via viable for three hours. 784 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,720 Speaker 1: So you're getting other people sick, and those other people 785 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: might not survive that COVID nineteen case that you've given 786 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 1: them because they're not young and they're not healthy, and 787 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 1: the idea that that you're just flouting that that is 788 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: just it's I think maybe blood boiling is the right term. Yeah, it's. 789 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 1: It really really has been pretty upsetting to see, even 790 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 1: in my own super cool neighborhood where people seem to 791 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: do the right thing most times. Uh And on the 792 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: the neighborhood page is on Facebook, people are talking and 793 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,800 Speaker 1: doing the right thing. But you know, even up until 794 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 1: like a few days ago, I was driving through my 795 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 1: little neighborhood area where the bars and restaurants are, and 796 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,800 Speaker 1: some of them are still full of people, and I 797 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 1: just like, I want to, like I put a loud 798 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,799 Speaker 1: speaker on top of my car like in uh and 799 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,399 Speaker 1: oh jeez, why am I in Slacker in the Link 800 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 1: Ladder film and just drive around saying very bad things 801 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 1: to people in public. When I think allowed speakers in cars, 802 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: I think of Blues Brothers. Yeah that too, and that 803 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,760 Speaker 1: was that was probably Slacker was probably stolen from that anyway, 804 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 1: did they use a cop car and slacker? No, it's 805 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: at the very beginning of slacker. There's this guy. Actually, 806 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 1: he probably in Steel because I think it was a 807 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: real dude in Austin that would just drive around sort 808 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 1: of preaching to the masses from inside of his car. Uh. 809 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 1: But we need that guy right now to get people 810 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: in their houses. Man. It's it's like it's a couple 811 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 1: of weeks. Just do it. Just it. It's it's easy, 812 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 1: especially for two guys who can continue to work from 813 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 1: home to say that. So I don't I don't want 814 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 1: to give the impression that we don't have any sympathy 815 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,439 Speaker 1: and our hearts don't go out to people who who 816 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: do work at those bars and restaurants and need that 817 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 1: money to survive. And so staying at home, and if 818 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,360 Speaker 1: everybody else stays at home like really deeply affects their 819 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,560 Speaker 1: potential to hang in there and survive. Like like that's 820 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: not lost on us, That's not lost on anybody, I 821 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: don't think. And I think the thing that is the 822 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,439 Speaker 1: most blood boiling or people who who are going out 823 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,800 Speaker 1: and like not doing anything that that has any economic impact, 824 00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 1: they're just being jerks. They're like playing basketball, or they're 825 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,759 Speaker 1: just going to the beach, you know, like like that 826 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,760 Speaker 1: kind of stuff is what drives me the most crazy. Yeah, 827 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 1: just knock it off. Um it had. The heartening thing 828 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: to see has been how many people are stepping up 829 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: to uh contribute to their local favorite restaurants and bars, 830 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,040 Speaker 1: whether it's a go fund me or supporting their curbside pickups, 831 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:15,799 Speaker 1: or or just then mowing your favorite uh server some money. Um, 832 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,919 Speaker 1: that's happening all over the place to try and keep 833 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 1: people solvent while this is going on. But the big 834 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 1: picture is if we don't do this now, it's just 835 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 1: going to be more drawn out and people are going 836 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 1: to be more affected economically. Um, So the right thing 837 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 1: to do is just to shut it down for a 838 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,360 Speaker 1: little while. That I mean, from everything I've seen, what 839 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: we're doing now, this kind of half hearted approach to 840 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 1: social distancing and quarantining. Like we're getting all of the 841 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:50,240 Speaker 1: negative economic effects but little to none of the public 842 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 1: health benefits. So we're doing it in the exact possible 843 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 1: worst way right now. Yeah. I saw one doctor say 844 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 1: that if you could literally just a pause button. Yeah, 845 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,399 Speaker 1: in the United States right now, there would be no 846 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen in two weeks. Yeah, if we could freeze 847 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 1: everybody just six ft apart for fourteen days, the virus 848 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 1: would stop in its tracks. And we've seen this is 849 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 1: the thing. This isn't like conjecture, This isn't philosophy or 850 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 1: modeling or anything like that. This is based on what 851 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:26,760 Speaker 1: we've seen in other countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, UM, China, 852 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 1: even UM Japan has done a really good job of 853 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 1: quarantining where they have they've they've basically figured out the 854 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:40,879 Speaker 1: way to contain this is extensive and widespread testing for 855 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 1: the disease and then really strict and um uh really 856 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 1: well followed and meticulous social distancing and quarantining people taking 857 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 1: it seriously so that you can test the people to 858 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 1: see who have it um and and and isolate them, 859 00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,479 Speaker 1: quarantine them, treat them to keep them away from everybody else, 860 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,319 Speaker 1: and test other people as as time goes on, so 861 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: that you can have people living a normal life because 862 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 1: they're not sick, and the people who are sick have 863 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: been identified and are being quarantined and isolated while they're 864 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,799 Speaker 1: being treated. Yeah, I mean, it's it's very easy to 865 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 1: look at a place like Singapore and look at a 866 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,920 Speaker 1: country like Italy, Um, who did not do it right 867 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: In America. Italy was just before us. UM. These are 868 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: two great examples of the difference that this can make. 869 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 1: As of today, Singapore has five and fifty eight cases, 870 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 1: and despite that, I just saw a new announcement today 871 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 1: that they are closing schools and closing entertainment venues just 872 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: because they're really trying to be super proactive and get 873 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 1: out in front of it. UM. Italy the infection the 874 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 1: infection rate was almost nothing throughout February, and then in 875 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 1: March it spiked to twenty five thousand new cases a 876 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:05,040 Speaker 1: week two weeks later. This is uh, these are numbers 877 00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,799 Speaker 1: that should speak for themselves and you shouldn't have to 878 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 1: talk people into social distancing. Yet here we are, you 879 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:17,080 Speaker 1: know it is. It's saddening. Um. The one other problem, 880 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: or I guess the big problem again is the idea 881 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,319 Speaker 1: that if a lot of people become sick, if you 882 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,840 Speaker 1: have a spike in cases like Italy saw, where it 883 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 1: suddenly goes up to twenty five thousand new cases a week, 884 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 1: a lot of those people have to be hospitalized, and 885 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,439 Speaker 1: it stretches and over taxes and eventually overwhelms the health 886 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 1: care structure in the in in the country, and in 887 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,439 Speaker 1: the United States, like every town has a brand new, 888 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,839 Speaker 1: gleaming hospital and lots of doctors. But it turns out 889 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 1: if you look at the statistics, the United States has 890 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 1: a paltry number of hospital beds per one thousand people. Um, 891 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 1: we have two point eight hospital beds per one thousand people, 892 00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 1: which even sounds small, but if you put it in context, 893 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 1: really small. Um. Japan and Korea have the most. They 894 00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,959 Speaker 1: have thirteen point one and twelve point three hospital beds 895 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 1: per thousand people. Next is Russia at eight point one, 896 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 1: in Germany at eight point oh, and then you go 897 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,319 Speaker 1: there's a lot of countries in between Germany and the 898 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 1: United States, which finally pops up with two point eight 899 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 1: hospital beds per one thou people. The problem is that's 900 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: just hospital beds. That's just a bed to put people, 901 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: and that's not specialized hospital beds, like people with a 902 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 1: bad case of COVID nineteen frequently need like an I 903 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 1: see you bed, And so already in the United States, 904 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: in hard hit areas like New York, we're starting to see, um, 905 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,879 Speaker 1: I see you rooms that were meant to hold one 906 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 1: patient starting to be tripled and quadrupled up with patients 907 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,520 Speaker 1: who all have COVID nineteen um, and just to just 908 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 1: to try to give them the the advanced level of 909 00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 1: care that they need. Um, because we don't have enough beds. 910 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 1: And so that's why that that not social distancing. Why 911 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 1: just going out and carrying on like nothing's going on 912 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,440 Speaker 1: is just such a ridiculously arrogant thing to do at 913 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,760 Speaker 1: a time like this. Yeah, And I feel like every 914 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 1: day it's gotten a little bit better. Um, Like you 915 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 1: really have to be pretty uh selfish and um, what's 916 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,960 Speaker 1: the word. There's a word that I can't say on 917 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: the air for when you've got a lot of gumption 918 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 1: to do something despite everyone's saying you shouldn't. Guts not 919 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,000 Speaker 1: guts because that impites bravery. Nerve there you go. Yeah, 920 00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 1: Like as of today when we're recording this, which is 921 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 1: two days before release, if you're still out doing things 922 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 1: like that now, then you really have got a special 923 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:55,319 Speaker 1: brand of nerve. Yeah. And and and conversely too, we 924 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 1: should point out to self quarantine is a gift. That's 925 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 1: a gift you're giving other people. Nobody's telling there's no 926 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,439 Speaker 1: martial law, you're not going to be shot on site 927 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 1: or arrested or whatever if you leave your house if 928 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,840 Speaker 1: you've been exposed to COVID nineteen. But the official guidelines 929 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 1: from the CDC and the World Health Organization is, if 930 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,400 Speaker 1: you know you've been around somebody who has tested positive 931 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 1: for COVID nineteen, they ask you to self quarantine for 932 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,400 Speaker 1: fourteen days, because fourteen days is the longest as far 933 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,719 Speaker 1: as we know that it takes for symptoms to show up. 934 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 1: That's why people are counting down fourteen days. Right. So 935 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 1: if you hang out by yourself, isolated away from everybody 936 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,400 Speaker 1: else like you were doing for fourteen days, and you 937 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,839 Speaker 1: don't get sick, you don't have COVID and you're not 938 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: spreading it, you're not you're not a risk factor any longer. 939 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 1: So but to to stop your life and to say 940 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm not going outside because i don't want to risk 941 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 1: other people getting sick because I'm not sure if I 942 00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: have it or not, that is an enormous gift to 943 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,799 Speaker 1: give to people. And I mean, it's what you did. Um. 944 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 1: My friends Mitch and Patrick, you know dirty Mitch from 945 00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:02,759 Speaker 1: the scabies episode. He he and his husband Patrick were 946 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 1: um exposed to somebody with COVID nineteen. They have no 947 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,000 Speaker 1: idea if they had it or not. But the first 948 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 1: thing they did was self quarantine, and they just committed 949 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,480 Speaker 1: to giving up fourteen days of their life of going outside, 950 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,640 Speaker 1: of interacting with other people, of doing whatever, just because 951 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,840 Speaker 1: they didn't know, in part because testing is not widely 952 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,600 Speaker 1: available in the United States. So this is the alternative. 953 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 1: It's on It's on us to to make that decision 954 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,560 Speaker 1: in that choice, and it is a really kind thing 955 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,319 Speaker 1: to do. So hats off to YouTube Chuck for doing that. Well, 956 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,880 Speaker 1: hats off to everyone doing the right thing. Um, and 957 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:36,759 Speaker 1: you're right, unless you're rich and famous, it can be 958 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 1: hard to get a test right now, which is another problem. 959 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: But we're not going to go down that rabbit hole either. Uh. Well, 960 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: we've been at it for close to an hour. Maybe 961 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:50,320 Speaker 1: let's wrap up with some talk of vaccine. Um. Obviously, 962 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,279 Speaker 1: a vaccine is the ultimate end goal for all this. 963 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 1: There are a lot of organizations working all over the 964 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:02,480 Speaker 1: world rapidly trying to develop and test vaccines. The National 965 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 1: Institute of Health, Walter Reid, Army Institute of Research, and 966 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:13,360 Speaker 1: countless others are trying. Um. They apparently there. The government 967 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:14,840 Speaker 1: is trying to cut a lot of red tape to 968 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,480 Speaker 1: speed things up, but it's still has to go through 969 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 1: clinical trials. You can't just rush rush something to market, 970 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 1: as much as everyone would like that, and it could 971 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 1: take a long time, could take up to a year 972 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 1: to get results of these trials. I saw that the 973 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:33,400 Speaker 1: NIH vaccine trials could could be in full swing by 974 00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:37,240 Speaker 1: the fall. UM and that one has promised UM the 975 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 1: m A m RNA DASH twelve seven three because it 976 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 1: was being developed for MERS, so they kind of had 977 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,000 Speaker 1: a head start. Remember, MERS is a type of novel coronavirus, 978 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,080 Speaker 1: so they're like, this might work for this UM this 979 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 1: stars Cove two coronavirus. Will we'll find out UM, So 980 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:58,600 Speaker 1: hopefully by the fall that one might be UM just banging, 981 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 1: who knows, that's what we need as a banging, robust vaccine. 982 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:10,560 Speaker 1: Lots of chains, gold chains, and I swagger to it, 983 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 1: just banging. Yeah, and I and I don't think this 984 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 1: is getting too political, although it is a little bit. 985 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,080 Speaker 1: But I just did a little last minute research and 986 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 1: found out, you know, there's this drug called what's the 987 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: name of it, no uh rim desivere. So this is 988 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 1: not um f D A approof for COVID nineteen. It's 989 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,840 Speaker 1: still got to go through the clinical trials, but it 990 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: has been used as an emergency emergency measure to treat 991 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 1: a couple of cases seemingly effectively. Uh. And they're expecting 992 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,760 Speaker 1: some results from a trial in April. Uh. And I 993 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,040 Speaker 1: just learned yesterday. I just kind of dug into, uh 994 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:54,080 Speaker 1: this this drug. Yesterday the f d A granted the 995 00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 1: company who makes a Guilelead Sciences UM orphan drug status. 996 00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,360 Speaker 1: And this is from the nineteen eight three Orphan Drug Act, 997 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 1: which is meant for rare diseases only. UM. Coronavirus or 998 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen is obviously not it's speeding up to not 999 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,560 Speaker 1: be a rare disease. But there's a little loophole in 1000 00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 1: that Orphan Drug Act if you get exclusivity, which is 1001 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 1: what happened. They granted them exclusivity, uh, for to profit 1002 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,200 Speaker 1: exclusively for seven years on this drug. If you if 1003 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,080 Speaker 1: you get that in and that designation in before it 1004 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 1: hits that two hundred thousand person threshold, which means it's 1005 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 1: not a rare disease anymore, then it sticks. And so 1006 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:39,920 Speaker 1: yesterday the FDA granted Gilly Head Sciences Um exclusivity for 1007 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 1: seven years, which obviously the fear there is that it 1008 00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 1: could lead to a block on supplies for generic versions. 1009 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,440 Speaker 1: It could be super expensive. And at the end of 1010 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,200 Speaker 1: this article that I read, I found out that a 1011 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,919 Speaker 1: man named Joe Grogan, who serves on the White House 1012 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 1: Task Force for Coronavirus Um, lobbied for gilly Head Sciences 1013 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 1: from two thousand eleven to two thousands seventeen, which is 1014 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 1: always a little bit concerning. And these are the guys 1015 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,800 Speaker 1: who have come up with an anti viral drug that 1016 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 1: has shown promise to treat COVID nineteen. That's right, and 1017 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:13,800 Speaker 1: they have now as of yesterday, been granted that seven 1018 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:18,160 Speaker 1: year window to profit exclusively UM and block potentially block 1019 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 1: generic suppliers for making this. And here's the real kicker, 1020 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,680 Speaker 1: here's the cherry on the rotten cherry on top, is 1021 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 1: that they were developing this for ebola, so it was 1022 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 1: developed with seventy nine million dollars of taxpayer money and 1023 01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 1: now they have been granted exclusive status for seven years. 1024 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 1: That's almost as much of a bedtime story as hearing 1025 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 1: about senators who were briefed about the pandemic and then 1026 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,600 Speaker 1: went and sold all of their um, sold a bunch 1027 01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 1: of stock before the stock market crashed without telling anybody 1028 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,880 Speaker 1: about it, while also downplaying the pandemic too. Yeah, send 1029 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 1: them to jail, Send them to jail. There was a 1030 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,479 Speaker 1: time in this country, it wasn't long ago, were people 1031 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 1: who did that were stripped of any honor. We're basically 1032 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:09,240 Speaker 1: drummed out of out of town on a rail by 1033 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: irate citizens. There was a time in this country. So man, 1034 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 1: that was Grandpa Clark all the way. It's right, I 1035 01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 1: suddenly just grew um patches on my elbows. They think 1036 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 1: cardigans about a sprout out of him. Team. Before we 1037 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,400 Speaker 1: wrap up, I would like just to know your biggest 1038 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 1: fear and all this, what has been your biggest fear? Um? 1039 01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 1: Loved ones dying? That's my that's my biggest fear, um. 1040 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,000 Speaker 1: I think you know, economics is a huge one. I'm 1041 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,800 Speaker 1: I'm really scared about that in the long lasting effects 1042 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,680 Speaker 1: people losing their jobs and and just the setbacks that 1043 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:54,640 Speaker 1: comes from that. But ultimately people, people, people I love 1044 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:59,880 Speaker 1: and care about, dying, especially unnecessarily, you know, like the 1045 01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:03,360 Speaker 1: idea that that we could have done some things differently 1046 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,320 Speaker 1: and there would have been abundant medical care. That's that's 1047 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:10,640 Speaker 1: my greatest fear. What about yours, Well, I've seen in 1048 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 1: too many movies about like domino effect type things, so 1049 01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 1: my I mean obviously worried about friends and loved ones, 1050 01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:22,520 Speaker 1: But my biggest fear has been worst case scenarios, which 1051 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:29,440 Speaker 1: is everything from uh, the U. S. Military getting a 1052 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 1: large outbreak and somebody like I don't know, another hostile 1053 01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,400 Speaker 1: country saying, now's a great chance. Jeez, Chuck, I didn't 1054 01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:42,600 Speaker 1: even thought about that, or um medical personnel or police forces, 1055 01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 1: um things getting disrupted so much with our health professionals, 1056 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,200 Speaker 1: or are people who keep us safe that that things 1057 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 1: become really scary on a citizen level. So like people 1058 01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:59,720 Speaker 1: are what scare me? Yeah, and it becoming like the 1059 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 1: urge or something like that, Right, that's what scares me. 1060 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 1: That's great, that's great. That was a good one to 1061 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,080 Speaker 1: end on, Chuck, because I mean, the whole reason this 1062 01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,200 Speaker 1: episode was to reassure people and then just pull the 1063 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 1: rug right out from under him at the last minute. 1064 01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,040 Speaker 1: But you know what, Having said that, I'm always consistently 1065 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 1: reminded of the ability and the will of not only 1066 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,760 Speaker 1: Americans but human beings to do the right thing, and 1067 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,080 Speaker 1: the vast, vast majority of people will come together and 1068 01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:31,480 Speaker 1: not um not going to attack mode. Yeah, I I 1069 01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,520 Speaker 1: totally I believe that. I think that that UM people 1070 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,560 Speaker 1: are generally good overall, UM, And there are definitely bad 1071 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,280 Speaker 1: people out there, but I think the good ones out 1072 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 1: number them, and when pushed against the wall, the good 1073 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:46,920 Speaker 1: ones can fight back pretty effectively. Also Also, I mean 1074 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 1: that kind of raises another point too that I found. 1075 01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,480 Speaker 1: It's it's really easy to just kind of let your 1076 01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 1: mind run away and focus on all of the terrible 1077 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,280 Speaker 1: stuff that can happen or all of the terrible stuff 1078 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:02,400 Speaker 1: that is happening, UM, and you kind of have to 1079 01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 1: you have to exercise your mind to not do that. 1080 01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,320 Speaker 1: You have to stay on top of it and remind 1081 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 1: yourself that you can also just as easily think positively too, 1082 01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 1: And you've got to try to do that in times 1083 01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: like these, for sure, and in times like these that 1084 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,480 Speaker 1: make it sound like this happens every couple of years 1085 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,680 Speaker 1: or something like this is definitely monumental and historic and 1086 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:27,960 Speaker 1: and once in a lifetime hopefully. Yeah. One other thing, 1087 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 1: if you think that you might have COVID nineteen, I 1088 01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 1: found there's a self triage tool. UM. They say that 1089 01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,120 Speaker 1: if you think you have it, you should call your doctor, 1090 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 1: your hospital nine on one and and say I think 1091 01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,240 Speaker 1: I have COVID nineteen. There's an online tool now at 1092 01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,440 Speaker 1: g E h R C O V I D T 1093 01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 1: R I A G E dot A K I D 1094 01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,960 Speaker 1: O L A B S dot com, gare COVID triage 1095 01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,400 Speaker 1: dot Akito labs dot com. And it's just basically a 1096 01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,360 Speaker 1: questionnaire that says, hey, this isn't a diagnosed this, but 1097 01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 1: this might this might give you clearer, um, a clear 1098 01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,320 Speaker 1: view into whether you're just sitting there freaking yourself out 1099 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 1: or else. If this this is actually something you might 1100 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:13,080 Speaker 1: need to call your doctor or your hospital about. Right. 1101 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 1: Good stuff. Uh, And hopefully all of this will be 1102 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:22,200 Speaker 1: a weird distant memory not too far from now. And 1103 01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 1: since I said that it's time for a listener mail, yeah, 1104 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,560 Speaker 1: you know what I think. Instead of listener mail on 1105 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,200 Speaker 1: this one, let's just encourage people to be kind of 1106 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:36,680 Speaker 1: one another, be cautious, be smart, UM, help out someone 1107 01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 1: in need if you can, and just hang in there. 1108 01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,360 Speaker 1: I know we have listeners right now that that have 1109 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,280 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. UM. Statistically that's uh, that's just got to 1110 01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 1: be the case. So be well and please take care 1111 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:53,920 Speaker 1: of one another. Yep, and think positive. Everybody think positive.
