- You might be a bit confused by me releasing two episodes in a row. Last Thursday, I recorded an interview with Dr. Joe Holley and Kimberly Holley, both are currently engaged with responding to the coronavirus, COVID-19, in Tennessee. The interview was really informative and I wanted to share it with you all right away. And you’re all cooped up at home, so you probably appreciate more podcasts anyway.
- Personal Update:
- American Doomsday
- My thoughts
- Two useful articles:
- One is a comprehensive guide put out by Arstechnica. It’s updated regularly. I’ll include the link in my show notes, but if you look up Arstechnica and coronavirus, you’ll find it. https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/03/dont-panic-the-comprehensive-ars-technica-guide-to-the-coronavirus/
- The other is an article written by a number of physicians on kevinmd.com. https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/03/a-covid-19-coronavirus-update-from-concerned-physicians.html
- I’ll let these resources do their own talking. There’s still a lot of uncertainty about the virus and the situation is fluid. We won’t know everything there is to know for a while. And that’s part of the problem.
- Let’s go to the interview.
