02:06
his book is a really great addition to
02:08
this conversation which we’re all
02:09

02:11
uh get ourselves immuno-resilient
02:15
i think this is him i think this might
02:16
be him here we go
02:21
here he comes uh so uh james is coming
02:24
and we’re gonna get right into the deep
02:26
conversation about our meeting welcome
02:27
james how you doing buddy
02:29
good mark how’s it going good i’m doing
02:31
good i’m doing good
02:32
you know this is quite a moment isn’t it
02:34
i was just sort of chatting a little bit
02:35
before you jumped on
02:37
about how you know this week is almost
02:39
about 90 000 cases
02:40
a day it’s wild it’s
02:44
growing very rapidly um we i mean we hit
02:47
record numbers
02:48
just last friday at 83 000 and then they
02:51
just published this morning
02:53
um you know in the new york times and
02:55
other articles that we hit 90 000
02:57
so we’re on a path to 100 000 cases a
02:59
day in the united states
03:01
which we just jumped from 8 million to
03:03
nine million
03:04
covet cases in two weeks the last night
03:08
and at this rate we’re like a million
03:10
every 10 days
03:12
exactly once we hit 100 100 000 a day
03:15
mark which looks like it’s going to
03:16
happen in about 10 days
03:18
exactly we’re going to be hitting a
03:19
million coveted cases
03:21
every single 10 days basically or more
03:24
because as more people get it in the
03:25
moral spread so it’s not going to be
03:26
staying at 100 it might go to 150 or 200
03:29
000 cases a day which is kind of
03:31
staggering when you think about it
03:34
and and i think people are are kind of
03:36
sick of
03:37
being locked down people are sick of
03:38
being not able to be with their family
03:40
and friends
03:41
people are being more liberal in their
03:42
activities uh and i think um
03:44
you know we’re we’re in a moment where
03:46
we have to sort of stop and go wait a
03:48
minute how do we protect ourselves uh
03:50
how do we
03:51
make sure that we’re less likely to get
03:53
sick and if we get sick how do we
03:56
make sure we don’t get very sick and end
03:58
up in the hospital i mean hospitals are
