Episode notes

It seems like the social distancying and a just quarantine strategy has seemed to work really well in terms of reducing the growth rate of new cases. Yesis: "I think it is actually much more complicated than people give it credit for" The likelihood that we can fully contain this virus across the entire world is, in my opinion, extremely unlikely.

In this episode, I speak with Steph Smith (@stephsmithio), the Senior Analyst for the popular tech and business newsletter, the Hustle. In our wide-ranging conversation, Steph shares her thoughts about the COVID-19 pandemic and what we can expect over the coming months for life and business.

We also discuss the complex nature of the virus, why the entire world missed its window to react, how these “black swan events” lead to second and third-order effects, why many people may default to optimism, and what data we should pay attention to.
