Dedicated the first third of this podcast episode to COVID talk. We talk about loosening restrictions in NJ/NY hot spots and the good news we've gotten from some of our friends in the medical community. But also don't get too comfortable like the videos we've seen from Ocean City Maryland and the Lake of the Ozarks.
We get into how ridiculous it is for people to trust politicians over medical experts, using the metaphor of picking someone to land a plane.
Then I talk about the research out of Columbia that says more than 80% of COVID related deaths would have been potentially averted if lockdown started 2 weeks earlier; just one week earlier it could have prevented more than 30,000 lives from being lost. The same article also touches on what we would actually need for a full reopen.
And that's just the first of three main parts. We also talk Tekashi 69 getting out, dropping a terrible track and being mad it didn't chart number 1 as well as whether charities should accept his money. Biden's "You Ain't Black" gaffe. The guy who filmed Ahmaud Arbery's murder getting arrested. And for a shift to lighter territory, the story of NFL player Earl Thomas' near death experience after getting caught cheating via snapchat.
