Summary

In this episode of The Simultaneous Sip, Scott Adams and I discuss a variety of topics, including: How is the government going to reopen the economy without telling overweight people to stay home? What would happen if the rest of the country experienced infection rates like New York City? And how bad would it be if infection rates were the same across the whole country?

00:00:13.120 Hey everybody. Come on in.
00:00:16.120 It's Ty. I'm For Coffee with Scott Adams and the Simultaneous Sip, and you came to the right place.
00:00:21.180 because
00:00:24.540 if you'd like to enjoy the simultaneous sip
00:00:27.060 all you need is
00:00:28.980 a cup or a mug or a glass
00:00:30.900 a tanker chair, all this or a stein
00:00:32.180 a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind
00:00:34.360 fill it with your favorite liquid
00:00:36.000 I like coffee
00:00:36.960 and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure
00:00:39.640 the dopamine hit of the day
00:00:40.940 the thing that makes everything better
00:00:42.600 including pandemics
00:00:44.620 it's called the simultaneous sip
00:00:46.420 go
00:00:47.640 extra good
00:00:54.620 a little extra good today
00:00:56.440 well
00:00:58.520 let's talk about stuff
00:01:00.360 number one
00:01:03.400 how in the world
00:01:05.320 is our government going to reopen
00:01:07.400 the economy in any kind of
00:01:09.400 irrational way
00:01:10.400 without telling overweight people
00:01:13.640 to stay home
00:01:14.480 how does that work exactly
00:01:17.240 because
00:01:19.060 it would be easy
00:01:20.820 if the government said
00:01:21.680 hey
00:01:21.940 if you have one of these
00:01:23.080 health conditions
00:01:23.960 you know
00:01:24.500 you're
00:01:24.880 let's say you have diabetes
00:01:27.080 or asthma
00:01:27.640 you should stay home
00:01:28.620 for a few months
00:01:29.320 and I would be in that category
00:01:31.620 and I'd say
00:01:32.260 okay
00:01:32.860 that's pretty objective
00:01:34.460 it seems fair
00:01:36.420 based on data
00:01:37.260 I think I'll stay home
00:01:38.500 but what happens
00:01:40.100 if the government says
00:01:41.280 if you're fat
00:01:43.660 you ought to stay home
00:01:45.440 and you can't go to work
00:01:47.300 I mean you could
00:01:48.680 but it'd be bad for the country
00:01:50.820 if you did
00:01:51.440 because
00:01:52.000 your weight
00:01:53.420 would make you extra
00:01:55.000 likely to end up
00:01:56.560 in the ICU
00:01:57.240 which would
00:01:58.660 be a problem
00:01:59.900 for our healthcare system
00:02:01.080 so please
00:02:02.480 if you're overweight
00:02:03.360 don't go to work
00:02:05.640 it's a real question
00:02:08.220 I'm not saying this
00:02:09.180 to be funny
00:02:09.780 I don't know
00:02:11.180 how a country
00:02:12.020 tells people
00:02:14.340 to stay home
00:02:15.000 if they're overweight
00:02:15.760 and if they don't
00:02:17.900 if
00:02:19.460 if whatever
00:02:20.160 you know
00:02:21.220 guidelines
00:02:22.460 come out
00:02:23.140 of the next phase
00:02:24.300 I'm assuming
00:02:25.520 that the guidelines
00:02:26.400 for going back to work
00:02:27.500 whenever that happens
00:02:28.540 will be some kind
00:02:30.060 of a
00:02:30.540 filtered system
00:02:32.100 where it's not everybody
00:02:33.320 it's
00:02:33.780 the people
00:02:34.660 who are safe
00:02:35.300 how are you
00:02:36.600 going to tell fat people
00:02:37.420 not to go to work
00:02:38.300 I mean seriously
00:02:39.180 how are you going to do that
00:02:40.240 I'm not joking
00:02:43.040 I'm not making fun
00:02:44.020 of anybody
00:02:44.440 for their weight
00:02:45.100 I don't do that
00:02:46.040 I'm just saying
00:02:47.280 how do you do that
00:02:48.120 just from a policy
00:02:49.540 practical perspective
00:02:51.440 I don't know how
00:02:52.180 that's going to work
00:02:53.320 alright let's talk
00:02:56.000 about the models
00:02:56.740 everybody wants to talk
00:02:57.680 about the models
00:02:58.920 that are so
00:02:59.740 darn wrong
00:03:01.220 so let me ask you this
00:03:03.500 do a little math
00:03:05.520 what percentage
00:03:06.860 of the total population
00:03:08.280 of the country
00:03:08.820 is New York City
00:03:10.000 well I have the answer
00:03:10.820 it's about
00:03:11.940 2.6%
00:03:13.480 of the whole country
00:03:14.680 now I'm just talking
00:03:15.860 about raw population
00:03:17.260 so of the whole country
00:03:19.200 New York City
00:03:19.900 is 2.6%
00:03:21.700 of all the people
00:03:22.500 so
00:03:24.600 what would happen
00:03:25.620 if the rest
00:03:27.260 of the country
00:03:28.000 experienced
00:03:29.560 infection rates
00:03:30.660 like New York City
00:03:31.660 now I'll get to the point
00:03:33.820 where you say
00:03:34.480 there's a different density
00:03:35.840 and the rest of the country
00:03:37.280 is different
00:03:37.700 so I'll address that
00:03:39.220 but just
00:03:40.600 let's do the math first
00:03:42.020 and then we'll adjust it
00:03:43.420 so
00:03:44.480 if the rest of the country
00:03:46.920 got infections
00:03:48.120 let's say
00:03:48.980 in the same
00:03:49.720 ratio
00:03:50.820 as New York City
00:03:51.820 I'm not saying they will
00:03:52.980 I'm just
00:03:53.740 bear with me
00:03:55.080 until I make my larger point
00:03:56.300 but if they did
00:03:57.740 how many people
00:03:59.320 would die
00:03:59.960 in the whole country
00:04:01.180 if the whole country
00:04:03.100 became similar
00:04:04.060 to New York City
00:04:04.960 and I know you think
00:04:06.860 that's not
00:04:07.440 a good comparison
00:04:08.580 and I'll get to that
00:04:10.120 just hold
00:04:10.600 that complaint
00:04:11.740 for a moment
00:04:12.300 so
00:04:13.560 just doing the math
00:04:14.640 if
00:04:15.440 New York City
00:04:16.400 has over
00:04:17.060 7,000 deaths
00:04:18.320 as of today
00:04:19.120 and they are
00:04:20.660 1.38
00:04:21.520 of the whole country
00:04:23.100 then
00:04:24.740 if the whole country
00:04:25.780 went the way
00:04:26.340 New York City
00:04:26.980 is gone
00:04:27.580 how many people
00:04:29.300 would die
00:04:29.760 and the answer
00:04:31.880 is
00:04:32.160 38 times
00:04:33.240 a little over
00:04:34.280 7,000 people
00:04:35.360 and that would look
00:04:36.960 like a national
00:04:37.800 death rate
00:04:38.360 of 269,000 people
00:04:41.620 so if the rest
00:04:43.580 of the country
00:04:44.100 goes the way
00:04:44.740 New York City
00:04:45.320 goes
00:04:45.760 I'm not saying
00:04:46.480 it will
00:04:46.840 this is just
00:04:48.920 for sizing things
00:04:50.100 I'll get to the point
00:04:51.160 it would be
00:04:52.620 over a quarter
00:04:53.640 million people
00:04:54.260 would die
00:04:54.680 you would call
00:04:56.600 that a big
00:04:57.040 problem
00:04:57.400 right
00:04:57.660 now I know
00:04:59.040 the next thing
00:04:59.880 you're going to say
00:05:00.340 is but Scott
00:05:01.100 Scott Scott
00:05:01.660 New York City
00:05:02.680 has more travel
00:05:03.720 has more density
00:05:04.700 they got a later
00:05:06.080 start
00:05:06.620 so let's calculate
00:05:08.020 that all in
00:05:08.720 what I'd like
00:05:10.640 to compare
00:05:11.160 is a mitigation
00:05:12.560 a mitigation
00:05:14.960 strategy
00:05:15.620 versus none
00:05:16.540 now New York City
00:05:17.980 is interesting
00:05:18.540 because
00:05:19.060 they are fully
00:05:20.400 mitigated
00:05:21.080 or close
00:05:22.460 to it
00:05:22.800 but they
00:05:23.640 got kind
00:05:24.060 of a late
00:05:24.480 start
00:05:24.900 so you
00:05:26.580 can't say
00:05:27.060 that New York
00:05:27.480 City is fully
00:05:28.380 mitigated
00:05:29.000 you could say
00:05:30.060 it's
00:05:30.360 it got a late
00:05:31.840 start
00:05:32.240 but then it
00:05:32.840 did a good
00:05:33.220 job
00:05:33.480 so it's
00:05:33.760 maybe
00:05:34.020 partially
00:05:34.980 mitigated
00:05:35.700 half
00:05:36.100 half mitigated
00:05:37.080 something like
00:05:37.680 that
00:05:37.960 so the
00:05:39.300 7,000
00:05:39.980 S
00:05:40.260 if they
00:05:41.520 had not
00:05:41.900 mitigated
00:05:42.460 we all
00:05:44.120 agree
00:05:44.380 would be
00:05:44.700 much
00:05:45.020 higher
00:05:45.540 right
00:05:45.860 but we
00:05:46.320 don't know
00:05:46.600 how much
00:05:46.960 higher
00:05:47.180 would it
00:05:47.920 be double
00:05:48.380 would it
00:05:49.280 be 10,000
00:05:50.020 let's say
00:05:51.000 it was
00:05:51.180 double
00:05:51.500 let's say
00:05:53.040 the problem
00:05:53.560 in New York
00:05:54.000 City
00:05:54.300 would be
00:05:55.780 double
00:05:56.240 twice as
00:05:56.920 many people
00:05:57.440 dying
00:05:57.820 if they
00:05:59.120 did no
00:05:59.540 mitigation
00:06:00.060 is that
00:06:00.540 fair
00:06:00.820 would you
00:06:02.200 say
00:06:02.380 double
00:06:02.740 because
00:06:04.060 the
00:06:04.340 mitigation
00:06:04.720 is pretty
00:06:05.200 extreme
00:06:05.640 it's
00:06:06.080 like
00:06:06.380 cutting
00:06:06.640 out
00:06:06.920 the whole
00:06:07.980 economy
00:06:08.400 basically
00:06:08.820 so I
00:06:09.880 would say
00:06:10.300 double
00:06:11.260 seems
00:06:11.620 reasonable
00:06:12.060 and we're
00:06:12.480 just sizing
00:06:13.000 things
00:06:13.380 right
00:06:13.620 I'm not
00:06:14.080 saying
00:06:14.280 that's
00:06:14.560 accurate
00:06:14.840 just to
00:06:15.280 size
00:06:15.540 things
00:06:15.860 so
00:06:17.200 if the
00:06:18.140 rest of
00:06:18.440 the
00:06:18.520 country
00:06:18.800 went
00:06:19.080 like
00:06:19.320 New York
00:06:19.620 City
00:06:19.940 and if
00:06:20.940 unlike
00:06:21.920 New York
00:06:22.300 City
00:06:22.520 they had
00:06:22.920 not
00:06:23.160 mitigated
00:06:23.700 what would
00:06:24.180 it look
00:06:24.420 like
00:06:24.700 and I
00:06:25.480 think
00:06:25.620 the numbers
00:06:26.100 coming out
00:06:26.580 of New York
00:06:26.920 City
00:06:27.160 suggest
00:06:27.720 that it
00:06:28.540 would be
00:06:28.780 about
00:06:29.140 half a
00:06:29.940 million
00:06:30.160 people
00:06:30.560 or more
00:06:31.000 would die
00:06:33.440 if we
00:06:34.740 didn't
00:06:35.060 mitigate
00:06:35.380 and it
00:06:37.320 looked a
00:06:38.000 lot like
00:06:38.420 New York
00:06:38.760 City
00:06:39.000 but then
00:06:39.460 you say
00:06:39.840 okay
00:06:40.180 but now
00:06:40.840 you get
00:06:41.240 to the
00:06:41.460 good
00:06:41.600 part
00:06:41.840 Scott
00:06:42.160 where you
00:06:43.000 say
00:06:43.180 the rest
00:06:43.540 of the
00:06:43.820 city
00:06:44.060 is
00:06:44.320 the rest
00:06:44.800 of the
00:06:44.940 country
00:06:45.160 is not
00:06:45.540 at all
00:06:45.900 like
00:06:46.100 New York
00:06:46.400 City
00:06:46.640 so
00:06:47.560 first of
00:06:47.960 all
00:06:48.060 there's
00:06:48.260 no
00:06:48.420 density
00:06:48.840 doesn't
00:06:50.340 matter
00:06:50.680 it
00:06:52.500 doesn't
00:06:52.780 matter
00:06:53.100 do you
00:06:54.680 get why
00:06:55.020 it doesn't
00:06:55.460 matter
00:06:55.680 that New York
00:06:56.180 City
00:06:56.420 is dense
00:06:57.040 and the
00:06:58.340 other ones
00:06:58.780 don't
00:06:59.120 even though
00:06:59.580 the density
00:07:00.080 of course
00:07:00.800 makes a
00:07:01.880 big difference
00:07:02.460 in how
00:07:03.020 many people
00:07:03.560 spread it
00:07:04.220 right
00:07:04.420 here's
00:07:05.520 why
00:07:05.800 because
00:07:06.860 the time
00:07:07.440 if
00:07:08.140 if
00:07:08.160 you're
00:07:08.320 not
00:07:08.540 mitigating
00:07:09.160 the rest
00:07:10.540 of the
00:07:10.740 country
00:07:11.020 has
00:07:11.280 time
00:07:11.620 to
00:07:11.800 get
00:07:11.960 just
00:07:12.240 as
00:07:12.420 infected
00:07:12.880 as
00:07:13.760 the
00:07:13.900 people
00:07:14.140 in
00:07:14.320 the
00:07:14.440 elevators
00:07:14.920 in
00:07:15.100 New York
00:07:15.360 City
00:07:15.620 in
00:07:16.600 theory
00:07:16.960 if
00:07:17.220 nobody
00:07:17.580 mitigated
00:07:18.160 it
00:07:19.020 would
00:07:19.140 go
00:07:19.320 like
00:07:19.560 this
00:07:19.940 New
00:07:20.900 York
00:07:21.120 City
00:07:21.400 would
00:07:21.720 very
00:07:22.160 quickly
00:07:22.700 get
00:07:23.120 infected
00:07:23.640 because
00:07:24.260 they're
00:07:24.580 more
00:07:24.920 density
00:07:25.340 and
00:07:25.640 travel
00:07:25.980 and
00:07:26.180 elevators
00:07:26.700 and
00:07:26.840 all
00:07:26.960 that
00:07:27.120 stuff
00:07:27.360 subways
00:07:27.820 so
00:07:28.700 New
00:07:28.880 York
00:07:29.020 City
00:07:29.220 would
00:07:29.420 quickly
00:07:29.780 get
00:07:30.040 to
00:07:30.260 let's
00:07:30.560 say
00:07:30.800 60%
00:07:32.100 infection
00:07:32.780 at
00:07:34.160 which
00:07:34.380 point
00:07:34.680 a
00:07:34.920 little
00:07:35.060 bit
00:07:35.240 of
00:07:35.400 herd
00:07:35.980 immunity
00:07:36.940 would
00:07:37.220 start
00:07:37.480 kicking
00:07:37.800 in
00:07:38.180 and
00:07:38.880 then
00:07:39.040 the
00:07:39.360 virus
00:07:40.080 would
00:07:40.360 start
00:07:40.560 slowing
00:07:40.940 down
00:07:41.340 because
00:07:41.600 so
00:07:41.780 many
00:07:41.960 people
00:07:42.240 had
00:07:42.420 been
00:07:42.560 infected
00:07:42.980 that
00:07:44.080 you
00:07:44.360 couldn't
00:07:44.700 necessarily
00:07:45.180 spread
00:07:45.620 it
00:07:45.800 as
00:07:45.980 easily
00:07:46.280 you'd
00:07:46.740 be
00:07:46.860 running
00:07:47.080 into
00:07:47.320 people
00:07:47.600 who
00:07:47.760 already
00:07:48.020 had
00:07:48.180 immunity
00:07:48.500 so
00:07:49.260 New
00:07:49.440 York
00:07:49.620 City
00:07:49.820 would
00:07:50.040 rather
00:07:50.420 quickly
00:07:51.060 get
00:07:51.380 to
00:07:51.580 herd
00:07:51.800 immunity
00:07:52.300 but
00:07:53.180 at
00:07:53.480 the
00:07:53.660 cost
00:07:54.020 of
00:07:54.280 tens
00:07:54.940 of
00:07:55.140 thousands
00:07:55.400 of
00:07:55.700 deaths
00:07:55.980 a
00:07:57.300 smaller
00:07:57.660 place
00:07:58.080 with
00:07:58.360 less
00:07:58.820 with
00:08:00.440 less
00:08:00.900 density
00:08:01.780 would
00:08:03.120 still
00:08:03.460 get
00:08:03.680 to
00:08:03.860 60%
00:08:04.800 it
00:08:05.640 just
00:08:05.840 would
00:08:06.020 take
00:08:06.240 longer
00:08:06.620 but
00:08:07.340 remember
00:08:07.720 in
00:08:08.000 both
00:08:08.240 cases
00:08:08.700 there's
00:08:09.280 no
00:08:09.500 mitigation
00:08:10.000 happening
00:08:10.460 so
00:08:11.500 the
00:08:11.800 undense
00:08:12.480 place
00:08:12.860 will
00:08:13.120 still
00:08:13.380 get
00:08:13.560 to
00:08:13.700 60%
00:08:14.520 it
00:08:15.220 just
00:08:15.380 might
00:08:15.600 take
00:08:15.860 a
00:08:16.000 month
00:08:16.260 instead
00:08:16.580 of
00:08:16.740 a
00:08:16.860 week
00:08:17.140 so
00:08:18.440 if
00:08:18.600 you're
00:08:18.760 comparing
00:08:19.080 New
00:08:19.280 York
00:08:19.440 City's
00:08:19.860 outcome
00:08:20.300 to
00:08:21.400 a
00:08:21.620 less
00:08:21.860 dense
00:08:22.180 place
00:08:22.620 I
00:08:22.940 would
00:08:23.100 say
00:08:23.260 the
00:08:23.460 only
00:08:23.640 difference
00:08:24.000 is
00:08:24.180 how
00:08:24.340 long
00:08:24.760 it
00:08:24.940 takes
00:08:25.400 to
00:08:26.380 get
00:08:26.560 to
00:08:26.740 herd
00:08:26.940 immunity
00:08:27.280 but
00:08:27.580 they
00:08:27.740 would
00:08:27.860 both
00:08:30.900 so
00:08:32.540 that's
00:08:32.740 the
00:08:32.840 first
00:08:33.020 thing
00:08:33.260 so
00:08:33.940 I
00:08:34.160 think
00:08:34.360 that
00:08:34.580 you
00:08:34.780 could
00:08:35.060 say
00:08:35.420 based
00:08:36.540 on how
00:08:36.860 many
00:08:37.020 people
00:08:37.300 have died
00:08:37.640 in
00:08:37.800 New
00:08:37.940 York
00:08:38.120 City
00:08:38.360 that
00:08:39.600 the
00:08:40.320 risk
00:08:40.700 of
00:08:40.920 not
00:08:41.300 mitigating
00:08:41.900 was
00:08:42.820 probably
00:08:43.320 somewhere
00:08:43.940 in the
00:08:44.780 half a
00:08:45.220 million
00:08:45.420 range
00:08:46.040 half a
00:08:47.880 million
00:08:48.040 people
00:08:48.340 dead
00:08:48.620 now
00:08:50.640 the
00:08:50.780 people
00:08:51.000 are
00:08:51.140 saying
00:08:51.380 that
00:08:51.600 this
00:08:52.020 is
00:08:52.200 still
00:08:52.540 flu
00:08:53.760 like
00:08:54.120 levels
00:08:54.500 of
00:08:54.700 death
00:08:54.960 how
00:08:55.720 do
00:08:55.880 you
00:08:56.020 explain
00:08:56.460 the
00:08:56.660 fact
00:08:56.940 that
00:08:57.740 they're
00:08:57.920 doing
00:08:58.180 mass
00:08:58.620 burials
00:08:59.140 in
00:08:59.460 the
00:09:00.500 park
00:09:00.940 in
00:09:01.640 New
00:09:01.800 York
00:09:01.960 City
00:09:02.280 have
00:09:02.980 we
00:09:03.140 ever
00:09:03.320 had
00:09:03.500 to
00:09:03.600 do
00:09:03.740 mass
00:09:04.120 burials
00:09:04.700 in
00:09:05.660 the
00:09:05.800 park
00:09:06.160 because
00:09:06.600 of
00:09:06.720 the
00:09:06.840 flu
00:09:07.100 are
00:09:08.500 you
00:09:08.660 still
00:09:08.940 not
00:09:09.200 ready
00:09:09.460 to
00:09:09.760 admit
00:09:10.140 there's
00:09:10.420 something
00:09:10.680 different
00:09:11.060 about
00:09:11.340 this
00:09:11.560 one
00:09:11.780 it's
00:09:12.580 a little
00:09:12.800 extra
00:09:13.200 deadly
00:09:13.560 I gave
00:09:14.980 this
00:09:15.140 example
00:09:15.480 last
00:09:15.820 night
00:09:16.020 but I'd
00:09:16.440 like
00:09:16.620 to
00:09:16.760 do
00:09:16.860 it
00:09:16.960 again
00:09:17.200 which
00:09:18.000 is
00:09:18.320 there
00:09:18.680 are
00:09:18.740 two
00:09:18.880 ways
00:09:19.200 that
00:09:19.360 virus
00:09:20.680 can
00:09:20.940 get
00:09:21.160 you
00:09:21.300 one
00:09:22.140 is
00:09:22.300 if
00:09:22.480 it's
00:09:22.660 extra
00:09:22.980 deadly
00:09:23.380 but
00:09:25.060 the
00:09:25.200 other
00:09:25.400 is
00:09:25.640 if
00:09:25.820 it's
00:09:30.500 it's
00:09:31.480 still
00:09:31.660 going
00:09:31.820 to
00:09:31.920 kill
00:09:32.080 a lot
00:09:32.320 of
00:09:32.440 people
00:09:32.720 because
00:09:33.120 so
00:09:33.320 many
00:09:33.480 people
00:09:33.720 get
00:09:34.040 it
00:09:34.280 that
00:09:35.080 even
00:09:35.300 if
00:09:35.520 a
00:09:35.640 low
00:09:35.980 percentage
00:09:36.560 die
00:09:37.040 so
00:09:37.800 many
00:09:38.000 people
00:09:38.260 have
00:09:38.620 it
00:09:38.860 that
00:09:39.760 it's
00:09:39.900 still
00:09:40.020 a lot
00:09:40.260 of
00:09:40.360 people
00:09:40.540 dying
00:09:40.880 compared
00:09:42.040 to
00:09:42.340 one
00:09:42.600 that's
00:09:42.800 really
00:09:43.140 extra
00:09:43.540 deadly
00:09:43.960 but
00:09:44.720 it
00:09:44.820 doesn't
00:09:45.120 travel
00:09:45.460 very
00:09:45.780 far
00:09:46.060 because
00:09:46.360 the
00:09:46.660 host
00:09:47.100 dies
00:09:47.460 so
00:09:47.660 quickly
00:09:47.960 well
00:09:48.800 you
00:09:48.920 can
00:09:49.040 still
00:09:49.220 get
00:09:49.360 up
00:09:49.460 to
00:09:49.560 a
00:09:49.680 lot
00:09:49.820 of
00:09:49.940 deaths
00:09:50.260 because
00:09:50.720 they
00:09:50.900 die
00:09:51.140 as
00:09:51.320 soon
00:09:51.420 as
00:09:51.540 they
00:09:51.660 get
00:09:51.820 it
00:10:00.500 one
00:10:00.660 that's
00:10:00.900 worse
00:10:01.160 than
00:10:01.380 all
00:10:01.660 of
00:10:01.800 them
00:10:02.020 what
00:10:03.580 happens
00:10:04.060 if
00:10:04.360 it's
00:10:04.540 extra
00:10:04.980 viral
00:10:05.500 and
00:10:06.840 extra
00:10:07.260 deadly
00:10:07.620 what
00:10:09.060 do
00:10:09.160 you
00:10:09.240 do
00:10:09.520 well
00:10:10.480 that's
00:10:11.000 at
00:10:11.600 least
00:10:11.820 a
00:10:12.040 possibility
00:10:12.600 that
00:10:13.000 was
00:10:13.200 presented
00:10:13.680 early
00:10:14.140 on
00:10:14.480 when
00:10:14.740 our
00:10:15.660 experts
00:10:16.080 were
00:10:16.300 looking
00:10:16.580 at
00:10:16.760 China
00:10:17.140 correct
00:10:18.700 me
00:10:18.920 if
00:10:19.060 I'm
00:10:19.200 wrong
00:10:19.520 but
00:10:19.960 when
00:10:20.180 we
00:10:20.320 were
00:10:20.460 first
00:10:20.760 looking
00:10:20.960 at
00:10:21.120 China
00:10:21.360 and
00:10:21.500 we
00:10:21.660 didn't
00:10:21.860 have
00:10:22.040 good
00:10:22.280 data
00:10:22.660 and
00:10:23.340 we
00:10:23.460 were
00:10:23.480 just
00:10:23.660 sort
00:10:23.840 of
00:10:23.960 observing
00:10:24.420 and
00:10:24.960 not
00:10:25.320 believing
00:10:25.700 what
00:10:25.920 they're
00:10:26.060 telling
00:10:26.320 us
00:10:26.720 did
00:10:30.500 be
00:10:30.760 the
00:10:31.020 blackest
00:10:31.620 of
00:10:31.800 all
00:10:32.000 black
00:10:32.340 swans
00:10:32.900 and
00:10:33.940 the
00:10:34.080 one
00:10:34.280 that
00:10:34.440 would
00:10:34.720 be
00:10:34.860 extra
00:10:35.280 viral
00:10:35.740 and
00:10:36.740 extra
00:10:37.140 deadly
00:10:37.520 now
00:10:38.980 I
00:10:39.260 don't
00:10:39.400 think
00:10:39.600 it's
00:10:39.760 going
00:10:39.880 to
00:10:39.960 turn
00:10:40.140 out
00:10:40.320 that
00:10:40.500 way
00:10:40.720 as
00:10:41.100 more
00:10:41.480 information
00:10:41.940 comes
00:10:42.240 in
00:10:42.380 I
00:10:42.520 think
00:10:42.840 it's
00:10:43.080 going
00:10:43.240 to
00:10:43.300 be
00:10:43.560 extra
00:10:44.480 viral
00:10:44.980 but
00:10:45.920 not
00:10:46.180 extra
00:10:46.520 deadly
00:10:46.880 still
00:10:48.580 very
00:10:48.860 dangerous
00:10:49.360 but
00:10:50.340 probably
00:10:51.120 lots
00:10:51.380 of
00:10:51.500 people
00:10:51.700 didn't
00:10:52.000 get
00:10:52.140 a
00:10:52.240 problem
00:10:52.480 with
00:10:52.660 it
00:10:52.960 so
00:10:55.080 if
00:10:56.180 the
00:10:56.360 experts
00:10:56.920 were
00:10:57.520 looking
00:10:57.820 into
00:10:58.080 this
00:10:58.320 fog
00:10:58.660 of
00:10:58.840 war
00:10:59.080 and
00:11:00.500 can't
00:11:00.640 yet
00:11:00.860 rule
00:11:01.260 out
00:11:01.680 that
00:11:02.000 this
00:11:02.220 is
00:11:02.360 the
00:11:02.540 worst
00:11:02.840 of
00:11:03.020 the
00:11:03.160 worst
00:11:03.380 kind
00:11:03.860 extra
00:11:04.900 viral
00:11:05.320 and
00:11:05.700 extra
00:11:06.040 deadly
00:11:06.360 because
00:11:06.620 it's
00:11:06.800 sort
00:11:06.980 of
00:11:07.100 looking
00:11:07.300 like
00:11:07.600 it
00:11:07.800 you
00:11:08.440 know
00:11:08.580 we're
00:11:08.760 watching
00:11:09.060 them
00:11:09.300 what
00:11:09.940 they're
00:11:10.080 doing
00:11:10.300 in
00:11:10.420 Wuhan
00:11:10.720 and
00:11:11.040 that's
00:11:11.260 not
00:11:11.480 normal
00:11:11.840 they're
00:11:12.060 not
00:11:12.260 acting
00:11:12.560 like
00:11:12.820 it's
00:11:12.980 some
00:11:13.120 kind
00:11:13.300 of
00:11:13.400 normal
00:11:13.760 thing
00:11:14.760 so
00:11:15.800 was
00:11:17.100 it
00:11:17.260 reasonable
00:11:17.660 for
00:11:18.020 our
00:11:18.300 experts
00:11:18.760 to
00:11:19.040 say
00:11:19.360 shut
00:11:20.000 down
00:11:20.260 the
00:11:20.420 country
00:11:20.760 because
00:11:21.700 we
00:11:21.860 don't
00:11:22.080 know
00:11:22.320 yet
00:11:22.680 but
00:11:23.420 whatever
00:11:23.700 is
00:11:23.860 happening
00:11:24.140 in
00:11:24.340 China
00:11:24.640 that
00:11:25.520 might
00:11:25.740 be
00:11:25.940 extra
00:11:26.340 viral
00:11:26.780 and
00:11:27.120 extra
00:11:27.460 deadly
00:11:27.780 and
00:11:28.100 we've
00:11:28.320 never
00:11:28.500 seen
00:11:28.760 one
00:11:28.960 of
00:11:29.080 those
00:11:29.400 that
00:11:30.340 could
00:11:30.720 be
00:11:30.840 like
00:11:31.040 the
00:11:31.180 big
00:11:31.360 one
00:11:31.580 so
00:11:32.740 I
00:11:33.160 don't
00:11:33.440 blame
00:11:33.740 the
00:11:33.940 experts
00:11:34.480 for
00:11:34.940 being
00:11:35.260 extra
00:11:35.760 cautious
00:11:36.280 if
00:11:36.740 it
00:11:37.420 turns
00:11:37.660 out
00:11:37.880 that
00:11:38.020 that's
00:11:38.260 what
00:11:38.400 happened
00:11:38.680 they
00:11:38.860 were
00:11:38.980 extra
00:11:39.300 cautious
00:11:39.700 because
00:11:40.680 there
00:11:40.800 were
00:11:40.940 unknowns
00:11:41.340 and
00:11:42.240 certainly
00:11:42.680 there
00:11:42.980 was
00:11:43.320 at least
00:11:45.120 reason
00:11:45.520 to believe
00:11:45.900 that this
00:11:46.320 was
00:11:46.560 the
00:11:46.740 big
00:11:46.920 one
00:11:47.080 even
00:11:47.360 if
00:11:47.520 it
00:11:47.620 turns
00:11:47.800 out
00:11:47.980 it's
00:11:48.120 not
00:11:48.440 but
00:11:49.580 even
00:11:49.820 if
00:11:50.000 it's
00:11:50.140 not
00:11:50.340 the
00:11:50.680 big
00:11:50.980 one
00:11:51.240 let's
00:11:52.060 say
00:11:52.240 the
00:11:52.440 big
00:11:52.700 one
00:11:52.880 would
00:11:53.080 have
00:11:53.200 killed
00:11:53.440 tens
00:11:53.760 of
00:11:53.920 millions
00:11:54.160 of
00:11:54.340 people
00:11:54.600 I
00:11:55.400 think
00:11:55.600 this
00:11:55.880 one
00:11:56.160 would
00:11:56.460 be
00:11:56.800 without
00:11:57.300 mitigation
00:11:57.820 maybe
00:11:58.180 half a
00:11:58.600 million
00:11:58.780 people
00:11:59.200 and
00:12:00.220 that's
00:12:00.760 just
00:12:00.960 multiplying
00:12:01.900 New York
00:12:03.020 City's
00:12:03.420 population
00:12:03.940 by the
00:12:04.360 rest
00:12:04.560 of the
00:12:04.780 country
00:12:05.120 and
00:12:05.960 making
00:12:06.200 the
00:12:06.420 assumption
00:12:06.760 that
00:12:07.280 New York
00:12:08.440 City
00:12:08.660 would
00:12:08.880 get it
00:12:09.200 faster
00:12:09.760 but
00:12:10.660 if
00:12:10.780 you
00:12:10.880 didn't
00:12:11.040 do
00:12:11.180 any
00:12:11.380 mitigation
00:12:11.900 eventually
00:12:12.820 the whole
00:12:13.860 country
00:12:14.160 would have
00:12:14.460 the same
00:12:14.820 rate
00:12:15.080 of
00:12:15.220 infection
00:12:15.640 eventually
00:12:16.080 so
00:12:17.600 what
00:12:18.880 about
00:12:19.200 the
00:12:19.720 complaint
00:12:20.220 that
00:12:20.720 the
00:12:20.960 models
00:12:21.440 are
00:12:22.340 completely
00:12:22.860 broken
00:12:23.400 and
00:12:24.040 corrupt
00:12:24.720 and
00:12:25.100 wrong
00:12:25.540 and
00:12:26.180 we
00:12:26.320 made
00:12:26.560 all
00:12:26.720 the
00:12:26.860 wrong
00:12:27.080 decisions
00:12:27.540 because
00:12:27.960 the
00:12:28.200 models
00:12:28.500 were
00:12:28.740 so
00:12:29.020 flawed
00:12:29.520 one
00:12:31.300 of
00:12:31.400 the
00:12:31.500 people
00:12:31.720 getting
00:12:31.980 a lot
00:12:32.260 of
00:12:32.380 attention
00:12:32.760 for
00:12:33.260 that
00:12:33.560 point
00:12:33.900 of
00:12:34.040 view
00:12:34.240 is
00:12:34.880 ex
00:12:35.340 New York
00:12:35.680 Times
00:12:35.960 writer
00:12:36.300 Alex
00:12:36.800 Berenson
00:12:37.820 a number
00:12:38.540 of you
00:12:38.840 had been
00:12:39.100 asking
00:12:39.400 me
00:12:39.600 what
00:12:39.800 about
00:12:40.000 that
00:12:40.220 guy
00:12:40.620 he
00:12:41.460 saying
00:12:41.820 and
00:12:43.420 he
00:12:43.580 saying
00:12:43.900 that
00:12:44.240 you
00:12:45.440 know
00:12:45.560 we've
00:12:45.840 made
00:12:46.000 this
00:12:46.260 drastic
00:12:47.400 change
00:12:47.840 to
00:12:48.040 shut
00:12:48.240 down
00:12:48.400 the
00:12:48.540 economy
00:12:48.920 but
00:12:50.740 it's
00:12:50.940 based
00:12:51.160 on
00:12:51.380 modeling
00:12:51.720 that
00:12:52.040 doesn't
00:12:52.420 line
00:12:52.800 up
00:12:53.020 with
00:12:53.240 the
00:12:53.400 realities
00:12:53.860 so
00:12:54.960 he's
00:12:55.180 saying
00:12:55.400 that
00:12:55.580 the
00:12:55.720 models
00:12:56.180 are
00:12:57.020 not
00:12:57.440 showing
00:12:58.800 to be
00:12:59.200 correct
00:12:59.700 and
00:13:00.820 therefore
00:13:01.140 it was
00:13:01.440 a giant
00:13:01.780 mistake
00:13:02.320 to
00:13:03.260 use
00:13:03.880 the
00:13:04.040 models
00:13:04.320 to
00:13:04.520 make
00:13:04.700 decisions
00:13:05.280 but
00:13:06.940 here's
00:13:08.180 what
00:13:08.360 Alex
00:13:08.700 Berenson
00:13:09.080 and
00:13:09.560 almost
00:13:09.980 all
00:13:10.260 of
00:13:10.420 the
00:13:10.520 rest
00:13:10.740 of
00:13:10.860 the
00:13:10.960 public
00:13:11.240 does
00:13:11.500 not
00:13:11.740 understand
00:13:12.300 unless
00:13:12.720 they
00:13:12.880 watched
00:13:13.140 me
00:13:13.300 last
00:13:13.560 night
00:13:13.760 on
00:13:13.880 my
00:13:14.040 periscope
00:13:14.520 prediction
00:13:16.880 models
00:13:17.420 are not
00:13:19.180 designed
00:13:19.720 to predict
00:13:20.600 anything
00:13:21.080 if you
00:13:23.020 thought they
00:13:23.480 were
00:13:23.800 you would
00:13:24.700 agree with
00:13:25.380 Alex
00:13:25.860 Berenson
00:13:26.280 and you
00:13:27.280 would agree
00:13:27.640 with all
00:13:28.120 of the
00:13:28.320 people who
00:13:28.700 said
00:13:28.860 hey
00:13:29.220 you
00:13:30.100 predicted
00:13:30.580 it would
00:13:30.940 be this
00:13:31.540 it's
00:13:32.220 way off
00:13:32.880 and you've
00:13:34.160 already
00:13:34.360 changed
00:13:34.780 your
00:13:34.960 prediction
00:13:36.120 from
00:13:36.620 100,000
00:13:37.960 worst case
00:13:38.580 to 60,000
00:13:39.540 and those
00:13:40.380 are not
00:13:40.700 really that
00:13:41.160 close
00:13:41.620 so therefore
00:13:43.240 your model
00:13:43.820 was always
00:13:44.340 wrong
00:13:44.700 and you've
00:13:46.280 proved it
00:13:46.800 by changing
00:13:48.200 it so much
00:13:48.840 all the way
00:13:49.240 down to
00:13:49.660 60,000
00:13:50.540 deaths
00:13:50.920 obvious
00:13:52.460 right
00:13:52.800 if you
00:13:54.320 said
00:13:54.520 100,000
00:13:55.260 but now
00:13:56.000 you've
00:13:56.240 revised
00:13:56.800 it to
00:13:57.160 60
00:13:57.540 well clearly
00:13:58.580 the 100,000
00:13:59.320 was totally
00:13:59.880 wrong
00:14:00.280 right
00:14:01.480 because
00:14:02.340 60,000
00:14:03.060 and 100,000
00:14:03.740 are not
00:14:04.040 really very
00:14:04.500 close
00:14:05.020 common
00:14:06.360 sense
00:14:06.760 right
00:14:07.080 wrong
00:14:09.000 and now
00:14:10.560 watch me
00:14:11.060 blow your
00:14:12.260 mind
00:14:12.760 it's a
00:14:13.660 little thing
00:14:14.040 called
00:14:14.300 context
00:14:14.980 so when
00:14:17.000 we saw
00:14:17.340 the original
00:14:17.920 estimates
00:14:19.000 there was
00:14:19.760 one curve
00:14:20.340 that said
00:14:20.680 if you do
00:14:21.100 no mitigation
00:14:21.840 maybe a
00:14:23.120 million at
00:14:23.640 one point
00:14:24.220 there was
00:14:25.020 some model
00:14:25.500 that said
00:14:25.820 two million
00:14:26.340 but I
00:14:27.260 think we
00:14:27.580 fairly
00:14:27.940 quickly
00:14:28.320 got to
00:14:28.900 a million
00:14:29.940 people
00:14:30.300 dying
00:14:30.700 at the
00:14:31.140 high end
00:14:31.660 in the
00:14:31.980 United
00:14:32.240 States
00:14:32.700 the low
00:14:34.820 number
00:14:35.160 with
00:14:35.580 mitigation
00:14:36.120 was
00:14:37.320 100,000
00:14:38.220 originally
00:14:38.880 not
00:14:39.660 originally
00:14:40.060 but for
00:14:40.640 a while
00:14:41.020 and then
00:14:42.400 more recently
00:14:42.980 it dropped
00:14:43.400 to 60,000
00:14:44.340 here's the
00:14:45.880 context
00:14:46.380 you're
00:14:46.700 missing
00:14:46.960 if you
00:14:49.080 consider
00:14:49.500 the
00:14:49.780 gigantic
00:14:50.380 range
00:14:50.940 of
00:14:51.120 uncertainty
00:14:51.680 is
00:14:53.140 60,000
00:14:53.940 and 100,000
00:14:54.920 really
00:14:55.280 different
00:14:55.700 it really
00:14:57.680 isn't
00:14:58.140 they're
00:14:59.420 practically
00:14:59.960 the same
00:15:00.500 number
00:15:00.860 if you
00:15:02.300 consider
00:15:02.760 the wide
00:15:03.700 range
00:15:04.080 now I
00:15:04.760 get that
00:15:05.120 both of
00:15:05.500 these
00:15:05.780 are with
00:15:06.560 mitigation
00:15:07.100 but do
00:15:08.620 you think
00:15:08.940 there's
00:15:09.200 anybody
00:15:09.500 in the
00:15:09.820 world
00:15:10.140 who knows
00:15:11.660 how to
00:15:12.260 model
00:15:12.720 mitigation
00:15:13.580 in the
00:15:14.060 United
00:15:14.340 States
00:15:14.800 it's
00:15:15.720 never
00:15:15.960 been
00:15:16.160 done
00:15:16.460 how
00:15:17.300 could
00:15:17.500 you
00:15:17.620 possibly
00:15:18.080 model
00:15:18.580 mitigation
00:15:19.740 you don't
00:15:21.420 know how
00:15:21.720 well people
00:15:22.260 are going
00:15:22.560 to do
00:15:22.880 it
00:15:23.100 you don't
00:15:23.800 know
00:15:24.120 if it's
00:15:24.740 different
00:15:25.000 in different
00:15:25.340 places
00:15:25.700 you don't
00:15:26.160 know if
00:15:26.380 there's a
00:15:26.700 cultural
00:15:27.040 problem
00:15:27.520 you don't
00:15:28.220 know if
00:15:28.480 people keep
00:15:29.060 with it
00:15:29.520 you don't
00:15:30.100 know if
00:15:30.340 they're
00:15:30.460 washing
00:15:30.720 their
00:15:30.960 hands
00:15:31.240 too
00:15:31.600 I mean
00:15:32.340 how could
00:15:32.620 you possibly
00:15:33.300 model this
00:15:34.140 I mean
00:15:34.540 seriously
00:15:35.060 if you
00:15:36.500 could get
00:15:36.920 this close
00:15:37.800 with
00:15:39.540 mitigation
00:15:40.100 and say
00:15:40.460 look
00:15:40.760 we said
00:15:41.620 it'd be
00:15:41.880 100,000
00:15:42.580 but you
00:15:42.940 came out
00:15:43.340 at 60,000
00:15:44.220 is that
00:15:45.320 is that
00:15:45.800 a mistake
00:15:46.480 no
00:15:48.460 if you've
00:15:49.280 done
00:15:49.480 modeling
00:15:49.880 for a
00:15:50.320 living
00:15:50.560 as I
00:15:51.760 have
00:15:52.140 and by
00:15:53.220 the way
00:15:53.460 ask anybody
00:15:54.080 else who
00:15:54.580 has ever
00:15:55.260 done
00:15:55.460 modeling
00:15:55.860 for a
00:15:56.300 living
00:15:56.520 if this
00:15:57.860 were the
00:15:58.180 outcome
00:15:58.580 you had
00:15:59.600 predicted
00:15:59.960 100 at
00:16:00.620 the low
00:16:01.000 end
00:16:01.280 but we
00:16:02.240 did
00:16:02.500 good
00:16:03.340 mitigation
00:16:03.860 and it
00:16:04.240 came in
00:16:04.560 at 60
00:16:05.040 would you
00:16:06.040 tell your
00:16:06.440 boss
00:16:06.860 that you
00:16:07.920 missed it
00:16:08.420 and you
00:16:08.580 were completely
00:16:09.100 wrong
00:16:09.560 and you
00:16:09.820 know I
00:16:10.760 quit
00:16:11.080 because it's
00:16:11.700 so embarrassing
00:16:12.300 I was so
00:16:13.340 far off
00:16:13.960 no
00:16:15.480 you would
00:16:16.600 go in and
00:16:17.100 tell your
00:16:17.420 boss you
00:16:17.900 needed a
00:16:18.340 raise
00:16:18.780 because out
00:16:20.300 of all
00:16:20.600 these
00:16:20.820 possibilities
00:16:21.480 you said
00:16:22.200 with
00:16:22.540 mitigation
00:16:23.060 we're
00:16:23.980 going to
00:16:24.140 be about
00:16:24.520 here
00:16:24.860 and you
00:16:25.680 got pretty
00:16:26.100 darn
00:16:26.360 close
00:16:26.940 you got
00:16:28.720 pretty
00:16:28.960 close
00:16:29.460 I call
00:16:30.600 that a
00:16:30.960 home run
00:16:31.480 that
00:16:32.880 is as
00:16:34.360 good as
00:16:34.860 a model
00:16:35.260 can be
00:16:35.840 here's
00:16:37.820 here's
00:16:38.780 the
00:16:39.040 the kill
00:16:40.940 shot
00:16:41.300 on my
00:16:41.720 point
00:16:42.160 nobody
00:16:45.460 in the
00:16:45.840 world
00:16:46.160 can predict
00:16:47.560 the future
00:16:48.200 with a
00:16:49.480 complicated
00:16:49.940 model
00:16:50.520 with lots
00:16:51.040 of variables
00:16:51.640 during the
00:16:53.240 fog of war
00:16:54.060 now you
00:16:55.640 can sometimes
00:16:56.480 predict how
00:16:57.140 things will
00:16:57.620 go if
00:16:58.600 the thing
00:16:58.980 that's going
00:16:59.380 to happen
00:16:59.740 is very
00:17:00.560 very similar
00:17:01.320 to a
00:17:01.740 thing that
00:17:02.040 happened
00:17:02.320 before
00:17:02.800 and the
00:17:03.820 thing that
00:17:04.140 happened
00:17:04.400 before
00:17:04.860 and before
00:17:05.420 so I've
00:17:06.880 used the
00:17:07.200 example
00:17:07.480 let's say
00:17:07.860 you're a
00:17:08.480 home builder
00:17:09.780 and you
00:17:11.160 build one
00:17:11.680 home and you
00:17:12.200 say it
00:17:12.740 cost me this
00:17:13.340 much per
00:17:13.740 square foot
00:17:14.380 then you
00:17:15.120 build a
00:17:15.440 second one
00:17:15.960 it's a
00:17:16.260 different
00:17:16.460 home
00:17:16.840 but the
00:17:18.180 square footage
00:17:18.800 comes out
00:17:19.220 about the
00:17:19.560 same cost
00:17:20.200 and then you
00:17:21.120 build the
00:17:21.460 third one
00:17:22.040 do you
00:17:23.140 think you
00:17:23.500 could make
00:17:23.880 a good
00:17:24.220 estimate
00:17:24.620 of your
00:17:25.400 square footage
00:17:26.100 cost for
00:17:26.840 the third
00:17:27.320 one
00:17:27.620 the answer
00:17:28.400 is probably
00:17:28.960 yeah you'd
00:17:30.020 have comparable
00:17:31.500 things you
00:17:32.200 could look at
00:17:32.800 so yeah
00:17:33.620 it's a lot
00:17:34.520 like those
00:17:35.000 other ones
00:17:35.500 so I'll use
00:17:35.960 the same
00:17:36.380 process
00:17:37.020 yeah you
00:17:37.420 can get
00:17:37.720 pretty close
00:17:38.260 but if you're
00:17:40.200 in the fog
00:17:40.780 of war
00:17:41.260 let's say
00:17:42.900 the first
00:17:43.600 week of
00:17:44.300 the Iraq
00:17:44.820 war
00:17:45.220 in the
00:17:46.400 first week
00:17:47.000 of the
00:17:47.300 Iraq
00:17:47.640 war
00:17:48.000 were there
00:17:49.500 any
00:17:49.740 modelers
00:17:50.380 who could
00:17:50.700 put in
00:17:51.060 their
00:17:51.200 variables
00:17:51.700 and tell
00:17:52.420 you how
00:17:52.800 it was
00:17:53.120 all going
00:17:53.420 to come
00:17:53.680 out
00:17:53.900 of course
00:17:55.040 not
00:17:55.420 of course
00:17:56.500 not
00:17:56.840 in the
00:17:57.700 fog of
00:17:58.140 war
00:17:58.320 you can't
00:17:58.780 make any
00:17:59.140 kind of
00:17:59.440 a model
00:18:00.080 that predicts
00:18:00.980 the future
00:18:01.500 that's not
00:18:02.600 a thing
00:18:03.120 nobody's ever
00:18:04.560 been able to
00:18:05.100 do that
00:18:05.500 there's no
00:18:05.960 model that
00:18:06.420 can do
00:18:06.900 that
00:18:07.220 there's no
00:18:08.140 model that
00:18:08.600 will ever
00:18:08.940 be able to
00:18:09.420 do that
00:18:09.740 it's not
00:18:10.300 logically
00:18:10.940 possible
00:18:11.580 and if
00:18:13.280 you're still
00:18:13.740 wondering if
00:18:14.440 there are some
00:18:14.940 people who
00:18:15.400 can make
00:18:15.740 models and
00:18:16.920 predict the
00:18:17.520 future and
00:18:18.160 the chaos
00:18:18.720 you think
00:18:19.700 those people
00:18:20.200 exist
00:18:20.660 here's how
00:18:21.580 you could
00:18:21.860 spot them
00:18:22.420 if they
00:18:22.740 exist
00:18:23.180 they would
00:18:24.400 be living
00:18:24.860 on their
00:18:25.400 trillion dollar
00:18:26.460 yachts
00:18:27.880 if anybody
00:18:29.380 could build
00:18:29.900 a model
00:18:30.380 to accurately
00:18:32.680 or even
00:18:33.260 more accurate
00:18:34.080 than randomness
00:18:35.040 predict the
00:18:36.220 future
00:18:36.600 based on the
00:18:38.080 chaos of the
00:18:39.180 fog of war
00:18:39.880 of any
00:18:40.240 situation
00:18:40.780 whether it's
00:18:41.300 this one
00:18:41.640 or some
00:18:41.940 other
00:18:42.200 if anybody
00:18:43.340 could do
00:18:43.800 that
00:18:44.120 they would
00:18:45.140 be a
00:18:45.420 trillionaire
00:18:45.980 because it
00:18:47.300 isn't
00:18:47.600 something
00:18:47.900 that can
00:18:48.320 be done
00:18:48.740 so
00:18:51.140 if you
00:18:52.140 say
00:18:52.400 Scott
00:18:52.900 your
00:18:54.000 prediction
00:18:54.480 model
00:18:54.840 was
00:18:55.080 wrong
00:18:55.540 because it
00:18:56.700 was not
00:18:57.180 accurate
00:18:57.800 then I
00:18:59.000 say to
00:18:59.320 you
00:18:59.640 hey you
00:19:00.680 apparently
00:19:01.660 you don't
00:19:02.080 know what
00:19:02.280 a prediction
00:19:02.680 model is
00:19:03.320 because you
00:19:04.280 thought it
00:19:04.660 was for
00:19:05.000 predicting
00:19:05.440 it isn't
00:19:07.140 the reason
00:19:08.720 it's not
00:19:09.400 designed to
00:19:10.060 predict
00:19:10.420 is because
00:19:11.780 it can't
00:19:12.420 it's not
00:19:13.620 a thing
00:19:14.060 it's just
00:19:15.300 not a
00:19:15.680 thing
00:19:15.960 you can't
00:19:17.100 do what's
00:19:17.520 not a
00:19:17.820 thing
00:19:18.140 by analogy
00:19:19.460 because I
00:19:20.220 know you
00:19:20.440 like analogies
00:19:21.200 I do this
00:19:21.780 sometimes just
00:19:22.400 to annoy
00:19:22.800 if you
00:19:24.880 had a
00:19:25.120 bicycle
00:19:25.560 and your
00:19:27.180 bicycle
00:19:27.640 could not
00:19:28.360 fly
00:19:29.020 it could
00:19:29.740 only
00:19:30.040 pedal on
00:19:31.400 the ground
00:19:31.880 would you
00:19:33.020 say that
00:19:33.600 bicycle is
00:19:34.860 broken
00:19:35.640 that bicycle
00:19:37.400 is a piece
00:19:38.080 of garbage
00:19:38.760 because it
00:19:39.740 can't fly
00:19:40.340 no you
00:19:41.440 would not
00:19:41.680 you would
00:19:41.960 say
00:19:42.220 well that
00:19:42.920 doesn't
00:19:43.180 make sense
00:19:43.720 you're not
00:19:44.120 evaluating it
00:19:44.900 as an
00:19:45.220 airplane
00:19:45.720 a bicycle
00:19:47.140 is intended
00:19:47.800 to pedal
00:19:48.360 on a road
00:19:48.920 so let's
00:19:49.400 evaluate it
00:19:50.180 for pedaling
00:19:51.140 on a road
00:19:51.660 oh okay
00:19:52.120 it looks
00:19:52.460 pretty good
00:19:52.960 if you look
00:19:53.380 at it
00:19:53.580 that way
00:19:54.020 so if
00:19:55.540 you're
00:19:55.700 looking at
00:19:56.100 these
00:19:56.440 models
00:19:57.780 the virus
00:19:59.340 models
00:19:59.680 and you
00:19:59.980 say to
00:20:00.240 yourself
00:20:00.560 hey
00:20:01.340 these
00:20:02.320 models
00:20:02.740 are all
00:20:03.620 broken
00:20:03.980 and
00:20:04.440 defective
00:20:05.760 because they
00:20:06.840 did not
00:20:07.300 predict the
00:20:07.940 future
00:20:08.260 accurately
00:20:08.780 then you
00:20:10.100 don't
00:20:10.320 understand
00:20:10.720 what a
00:20:11.020 model
00:20:11.220 is
00:20:11.580 because
00:20:12.540 they're
00:20:12.700 not
00:20:12.900 designed
00:20:13.500 to predict
00:20:14.240 the future
00:20:14.920 they can't
00:20:16.640 it's not
00:20:18.020 a thing
00:20:18.460 nobody would
00:20:20.040 try to
00:20:20.660 design a
00:20:21.340 model
00:20:21.620 to predict
00:20:22.760 the future
00:20:23.380 because you
00:20:24.560 know in
00:20:24.840 advance
00:20:25.260 it's not
00:20:25.700 a thing
00:20:26.120 it's not
00:20:27.200 a thing
00:20:27.660 so you're
00:20:29.020 wondering
00:20:29.660 well why is
00:20:30.560 everybody acting
00:20:31.200 like it is
00:20:31.780 a thing
00:20:32.180 I mean
00:20:33.320 literally
00:20:33.740 everybody
00:20:34.240 is acting
00:20:35.040 like the
00:20:36.200 model should
00:20:36.940 have told us
00:20:37.480 what the
00:20:37.800 future
00:20:38.080 looks like
00:20:38.720 and they
00:20:39.900 didn't
00:20:40.760 so
00:20:41.680 something's
00:20:42.800 wrong
00:20:43.020 right
00:20:43.280 no
00:20:44.640 models
00:20:45.560 are not
00:20:45.980 intended
00:20:46.500 to predict
00:20:47.360 the future
00:20:47.960 here's what
00:20:48.900 they're for
00:20:49.380 persuasion
00:20:51.240 and
00:20:52.920 rough sizing
00:20:54.600 of a
00:20:55.000 problem
00:20:55.420 did the
00:20:57.300 models
00:20:57.700 roughly
00:20:58.400 size
00:20:59.160 the
00:20:59.400 problem
00:20:59.960 and
00:21:01.260 here
00:21:01.740 the size
00:21:02.740 can be
00:21:03.080 very
00:21:03.400 approximate
00:21:04.180 because all
00:21:05.300 you're trying
00:21:05.660 to do is
00:21:06.140 persuade people
00:21:07.000 to act
00:21:07.440 differently
00:21:07.860 to get
00:21:08.800 that number
00:21:09.240 lower
00:21:09.620 so did
00:21:10.840 it size
00:21:11.440 the problem
00:21:12.140 as a
00:21:13.420 big old
00:21:13.860 problem
00:21:14.200 that you
00:21:14.540 should treat
00:21:15.020 as a
00:21:15.380 special
00:21:15.680 problem
00:21:16.140 I'd say
00:21:17.580 yes
00:21:17.940 the New York
00:21:19.140 City numbers
00:21:19.780 seem to
00:21:20.260 indicate
00:21:20.740 that the
00:21:22.500 degree of
00:21:23.400 panic about
00:21:24.140 this was
00:21:24.680 probably well
00:21:25.440 warranted
00:21:26.400 because even
00:21:27.140 with mitigation
00:21:28.060 they lost
00:21:29.900 7,000
00:21:30.560 people
00:21:30.980 and if you
00:21:32.480 extended that
00:21:33.120 to the whole
00:21:33.520 country
00:21:33.940 and imagined
00:21:34.720 no mitigation
00:21:35.680 it could be
00:21:37.420 half a
00:21:37.760 million people
00:21:38.360 just based
00:21:38.980 on what
00:21:39.300 we do
00:21:39.640 know
00:21:39.960 so
00:21:42.400 was it
00:21:43.200 appropriate
00:21:43.580 to use
00:21:44.140 prediction
00:21:44.560 models
00:21:44.960 to persuade
00:21:45.820 us to
00:21:46.240 act
00:21:46.460 differently
00:21:46.840 and also
00:21:48.820 sized it
00:21:49.640 as a
00:21:50.020 big old
00:21:50.340 problem
00:21:50.740 that we
00:21:51.220 don't know
00:21:51.500 if it's
00:21:51.760 a million
00:21:52.140 or a
00:21:52.500 hundred
00:21:52.640 thousand
00:21:53.040 but let
00:21:53.960 me tell
00:21:54.240 you
00:21:54.400 it's a
00:21:55.100 big old
00:21:55.440 problem
00:21:55.820 if you
00:21:56.200 don't do
00:21:56.500 anything
00:21:56.760 about it
00:21:57.240 I would
00:21:59.020 say the
00:21:59.420 models
00:21:59.840 not only
00:22:00.620 were
00:22:01.080 useful
00:22:01.940 and good
00:22:02.660 but some
00:22:03.840 of the
00:22:04.080 best
00:22:04.360 of all
00:22:04.760 time
00:22:05.120 because
00:22:06.800 missing
00:22:07.400 the bottom
00:22:07.920 number
00:22:08.380 by that
00:22:09.740 little
00:22:10.200 when you
00:22:11.780 did
00:22:12.020 mitigation
00:22:12.560 is pretty
00:22:13.980 darn good
00:22:14.560 and if
00:22:16.300 it did
00:22:16.600 what it
00:22:16.900 was supposed
00:22:17.280 to do
00:22:17.620 which is
00:22:18.040 persuade us
00:22:18.780 to act
00:22:19.060 differently
00:22:19.460 did it
00:22:20.120 do that
00:22:20.500 yeah
00:22:20.920 yeah
00:22:22.020 those
00:22:22.320 models
00:22:22.660 persuaded
00:22:23.200 me
00:22:23.580 I'll bet
00:22:24.300 it persuaded
00:22:24.800 most of
00:22:25.300 you too
00:22:25.700 and did
00:22:26.900 it size
00:22:27.600 the general
00:22:28.700 size
00:22:29.180 I think
00:22:29.580 yes
00:22:29.940 now
00:22:30.780 your
00:22:31.420 critics
00:22:32.820 will say
00:22:33.320 no
00:22:33.680 that that's
00:22:34.840 exactly
00:22:35.280 the problem
00:22:35.900 it did
00:22:36.740 not size
00:22:37.520 the problem
00:22:38.060 correctly
00:22:38.580 it missed
00:22:39.100 the size
00:22:39.620 of the
00:22:39.820 problem
00:22:40.120 by a
00:22:40.500 mile
00:22:40.800 did it
00:22:42.020 did it
00:22:43.500 because that
00:22:45.160 doesn't look
00:22:45.600 like a mile
00:22:46.180 to me
00:22:46.680 that looks
00:22:47.980 like of all
00:22:48.560 the possibilities
00:22:49.440 and of course
00:22:50.180 that's
00:22:50.480 mitigation
00:22:51.000 no mitigation
00:22:51.820 versus mitigation
00:22:52.560 but if you
00:22:53.540 could come
00:22:53.960 that close
00:22:54.700 with this
00:22:56.200 level of
00:22:56.840 uncertainty
00:22:57.300 I'm pretty
00:22:59.140 impressed
00:22:59.720 I'm totally
00:23:01.540 impressed
00:23:01.960 this would
00:23:02.920 be a
00:23:03.200 world
00:23:03.500 class
00:23:04.020 if it
00:23:05.140 turns out
00:23:05.520 that 60
00:23:06.020 is a
00:23:06.340 real
00:23:06.480 number
00:23:06.740 I
00:23:06.920 actually
00:23:07.160 think
00:23:07.400 it's
00:23:07.560 going
00:23:07.700 to be
00:23:07.840 lower
00:23:08.160 if it
00:23:08.880 goes
00:23:09.040 down
00:23:09.220 to 30
00:23:09.760 then I'm
00:23:10.400 going to
00:23:10.600 join the
00:23:11.020 chorus
00:23:11.320 of people
00:23:11.700 saying
00:23:12.060 these models
00:23:13.420 may be
00:23:13.780 not as
00:23:14.140 helpful
00:23:14.360 as they
00:23:14.700 could have
00:23:14.920 been
00:23:15.100 but at
00:23:15.920 60
00:23:16.320 it's
00:23:17.480 sort of
00:23:17.820 a rounding
00:23:18.200 error
00:23:18.540 somebody
00:23:22.440 says
00:23:22.820 wrong
00:23:23.280 obviously
00:23:24.500 you're
00:23:24.780 new
00:23:24.920 here
00:23:25.180 what
00:23:26.780 happens
00:23:27.160 when people
00:23:27.640 just use
00:23:28.160 the one
00:23:28.560 word
00:23:28.960 wrong
00:23:30.500 that's
00:23:33.020 what
00:23:33.160 happens
00:23:33.540 that's
00:23:35.180 one way
00:23:35.520 to learn
00:23:35.920 learning
00:23:36.320 it the
00:23:36.580 hard
00:23:36.760 way
00:23:37.320 somebody
00:23:39.260 says
00:23:39.600 there's
00:23:39.840 no
00:23:40.040 proof
00:23:40.460 that
00:23:40.920 any
00:23:41.120 lives
00:23:41.480 were
00:23:41.680 saved
00:23:42.100 alright
00:23:43.060 so
00:23:43.520 so
00:23:44.440 let's
00:23:46.500 take
00:23:46.700 that
00:23:46.900 point
00:23:47.160 I
00:23:47.400 think
00:23:47.700 that
00:23:47.900 point
00:23:48.260 agrees
00:23:49.140 with a
00:23:49.480 lot
00:23:49.600 of
00:23:49.700 people
00:23:49.940 because
00:23:50.760 the
00:23:50.980 point
00:23:51.200 is
00:23:51.560 can
00:23:52.320 you
00:23:52.480 demonstrate
00:23:53.020 that
00:23:55.180 what
00:23:55.560 we
00:23:55.800 did
00:23:56.040 actually
00:23:56.560 saved
00:23:56.980 lives
00:23:57.360 like
00:23:57.620 how
00:23:57.800 would
00:23:57.920 you
00:23:58.040 know
00:23:58.340 well
00:23:59.180 here's
00:23:59.440 what
00:23:59.600 I
00:23:59.720 would
00:23:59.840 look
00:24:00.000 to
00:24:00.200 I
00:24:01.220 would
00:24:01.380 look
00:24:01.520 to
00:24:01.700 prior
00:24:02.120 every
00:24:03.460 year
00:24:04.000 before
00:24:04.540 in
00:24:04.920 New
00:24:05.060 York
00:24:05.240 City
00:24:05.560 can
00:24:06.920 you
00:24:07.080 list
00:24:07.400 for
00:24:07.620 me
00:24:07.780 the
00:24:07.980 number
00:24:08.260 of
00:24:08.420 years
00:24:08.800 that
00:24:09.140 they
00:24:09.280 had
00:24:09.500 to
00:24:09.760 do
00:24:10.320 mass
00:24:11.040 outdoor
00:24:12.140 burials
00:24:12.840 because
00:24:13.680 they had
00:24:14.060 too many
00:24:14.460 corpses
00:24:14.940 can
00:24:16.340 somebody
00:24:16.720 a
00:24:16.960 historian
00:24:17.340 tell me
00:24:18.140 when
00:24:18.320 was the
00:24:18.640 last
00:24:18.920 time
00:24:19.220 we
00:24:19.400 had
00:24:19.540 so
00:24:19.740 many
00:24:19.980 corpses
00:24:20.560 in
00:24:20.920 New
00:24:21.040 York
00:24:21.220 City
00:24:21.500 that
00:24:22.240 they
00:24:22.380 had
00:24:22.580 to
00:24:22.840 use
00:24:23.680 bulldozers
00:24:24.560 to make
00:24:25.020 a trench
00:24:25.640 to
00:24:26.340 temporarily
00:24:26.960 bury
00:24:27.480 them
00:24:27.700 in
00:24:27.820 the
00:24:27.960 park
00:24:28.320 if
00:24:29.760 that's
00:24:30.060 never
00:24:30.340 happened
00:24:30.760 before
00:24:31.220 would
00:24:32.560 you
00:24:32.700 agree
00:24:32.980 with
00:24:33.200 me
00:24:33.420 something
00:24:33.880 different
00:24:34.480 is
00:24:34.680 happening
00:24:34.980 in
00:24:35.220 New
00:24:35.360 York
00:24:35.640 because
00:24:36.880 if you
00:24:37.160 don't
00:24:37.340 get
00:24:37.540 that
00:24:37.820 part
00:24:38.180 nothing
00:24:39.080 else
00:24:39.400 makes
00:24:39.640 sense
00:24:40.060 that in
00:24:41.480 New
00:24:41.620 York
00:24:41.800 City
00:24:42.120 because
00:24:43.300 they were
00:24:44.100 a little
00:24:44.340 late on
00:24:44.800 the
00:24:44.920 mitigation
00:24:45.380 that
00:24:47.000 they're
00:24:47.740 burying
00:24:48.820 people in
00:24:49.340 mass graves
00:24:50.300 that
00:24:51.240 doesn't
00:24:51.580 look like
00:24:52.120 there's
00:24:52.660 a big
00:24:52.900 problem
00:24:53.300 so
00:24:54.820 anybody
00:24:56.220 who says
00:24:56.800 that the
00:24:57.300 models
00:24:57.920 are
00:24:59.100 out of
00:25:00.120 whack
00:25:00.460 with
00:25:00.800 what
00:25:01.000 we're
00:25:01.180 actually
00:25:01.500 observing
00:25:02.000 that's
00:25:03.380 not
00:25:03.540 what
00:25:03.680 I
00:25:03.860 see
00:25:04.100 to
00:25:05.420 me
00:25:05.600 I
00:25:05.780 see
00:25:05.980 the
00:25:06.180 model
00:25:06.880 said
00:25:07.260 there's
00:25:07.540 a
00:25:07.760 really
00:25:08.140 big
00:25:08.420 problem
00:25:08.880 and
00:25:10.400 we
00:25:10.860 want
00:25:11.100 to
00:25:11.200 persuade
00:25:11.580 you
00:25:11.780 to
00:25:11.880 act
00:25:12.040 differently
00:25:12.460 if
00:25:13.760 you're
00:25:14.000 burying
00:25:14.340 people
00:25:14.660 in
00:25:14.840 mass
00:25:15.140 graves
00:25:15.620 in
00:25:16.580 just
00:25:16.820 the
00:25:17.120 first
00:25:17.740 state
00:25:18.080 that
00:25:18.260 was
00:25:18.400 a
00:25:18.540 little
00:25:18.660 late
00:25:19.060 on
00:25:19.400 the
00:25:19.580 mitigation
00:25:20.100 I
00:25:21.260 feel
00:25:21.580 like
00:25:21.800 they
00:25:21.980 were
00:25:22.160 right
00:25:22.540 that
00:25:23.060 was
00:25:23.240 a
00:25:23.440 big
00:25:23.660 potential
00:25:24.400 problem
00:25:24.920 that
00:25:25.660 we
00:25:25.820 may
00:25:26.020 have
00:25:26.160 done
00:25:26.480 heroic
00:25:27.440 job
00:25:28.060 at
00:25:28.420 decreasing
00:25:29.900 and
00:25:30.800 I
00:25:30.940 think
00:25:31.120 you
00:25:31.420 know
00:25:31.580 I've
00:25:31.900 always
00:25:32.060 been
00:25:32.200 on
00:25:32.360 the
00:25:32.480 side
00:25:32.700 that
00:25:32.880 says
00:25:33.120 that
00:25:33.320 human
00:25:33.680 ingenuity
00:25:34.360 once
00:25:35.300 we're
00:25:35.520 all
00:25:35.720 focused
00:25:36.100 on
00:25:36.280 the
00:25:36.420 same
00:25:36.600 problem
00:25:37.020 as
00:25:37.260 we
00:25:37.400 are
00:25:37.640 it's
00:25:38.600 hard
00:25:38.760 to
00:25:38.940 predict
00:25:39.320 and
00:25:40.400 it's
00:25:40.540 also
00:25:40.740 one
00:25:41.040 reason
00:25:41.300 that
00:25:41.460 prediction
00:25:41.780 models
00:25:42.160 are
00:25:42.440 useless
00:25:43.020 because
00:25:43.960 the
00:25:44.440 human
00:25:44.740 ingenuity
00:25:45.280 can't
00:25:45.780 be
00:25:45.900 predicted
00:25:46.280 you
00:25:47.180 just
00:25:47.420 know
00:25:47.680 it's
00:25:47.900 going
00:25:48.020 to
00:25:48.080 be
00:25:48.400 probably
00:25:49.120 surprisingly
00:25:49.820 good
00:25:50.240 but
00:25:50.460 you
00:25:50.740 don't
00:25:50.900 know
00:25:51.080 how
00:25:51.380 and
00:25:53.900 somebody
00:25:54.220 says
00:25:54.520 still
00:25:54.780 hasn't
00:25:55.120 happened
00:25:55.600 what
00:25:57.080 hasn't
00:25:57.460 happened
00:25:57.800 they're
00:25:58.160 burying
00:25:58.440 people
00:25:58.800 in the
00:25:59.100 park
00:25:59.320 right
00:25:59.580 now
00:26:00.000 they
00:26:01.580 have
00:26:01.760 pictures
00:26:02.080 of
00:26:02.320 it
00:26:02.680 all
00:26:03.600 right
00:26:03.980 somebody
00:26:05.740 said
00:26:05.960 I
00:26:06.100 saw
00:26:06.280 a
00:26:06.420 trench
00:26:06.740 not
00:26:07.060 sure
00:26:07.320 they're
00:26:07.540 really
00:26:07.740 going
00:26:07.940 to
00:26:08.100 bury
00:26:08.880 bodies
00:26:09.340 there
00:26:09.540 I
00:26:10.420 saw
00:26:10.740 the
00:26:11.000 bodies
00:26:11.340 in
00:26:11.560 the
00:26:11.700 trench
00:26:12.080 in
00:26:12.480 containers
00:26:13.880 but
00:26:15.220 did
00:26:15.660 I
00:26:15.840 see
00:26:16.060 a
00:26:17.120 fake
00:26:17.440 picture
00:26:17.780 of
00:26:17.940 an
00:26:18.080 Italian
00:26:18.420 hospital
00:26:18.860 or
00:26:19.100 something
00:26:19.360 but
00:26:20.040 this
00:26:20.220 morning
00:26:20.520 I
00:26:20.700 did
00:26:20.840 see
00:26:21.080 an
00:26:21.760 aerial
00:26:22.180 picture
00:26:22.520 of
00:26:22.800 the
00:26:22.940 trench
00:26:23.340 with
00:26:24.540 what
00:26:24.720 looked
00:26:24.960 to
00:26:25.060 be
00:26:25.380 temporary
00:26:26.240 caskets
00:26:26.840 in
00:26:26.980 it
00:26:27.160 you
00:26:27.880 know
00:26:28.040 sort
00:26:28.400 of
00:26:28.520 pine
00:26:28.720 boxes
00:26:29.120 sort
00:26:29.520 of
00:26:30.000 somebody
00:26:34.300 says
00:26:34.620 that
00:26:34.780 is
00:26:34.900 not
00:26:35.080 fully
00:26:35.320 correct
00:26:35.720 that
00:26:36.380 is
00:26:36.520 where
00:26:36.720 they
00:26:36.880 have
00:26:37.000 done
00:26:37.160 the
00:26:37.340 unclaimed
00:26:37.880 body
00:26:38.400 burials
00:26:38.960 for
00:26:39.520 years
00:26:39.980 well
00:26:41.360 I
00:26:41.700 don't
00:26:41.860 think
00:26:42.040 we're
00:26:42.180 talking
00:26:42.460 about
00:26:42.760 unclaimed
00:26:43.360 bodies
00:26:44.020 if that
00:26:45.660 were the
00:26:45.940 case
00:26:46.260 sure
00:26:46.660 Scott
00:26:50.380 Scott
00:26:50.700 Scott
00:26:51.080 big
00:26:51.540 cities
00:26:51.860 have
00:26:52.140 mass
00:26:52.480 graves
00:26:52.880 regularly
00:26:53.400 every
00:26:54.260 morgue
00:26:54.660 is
00:26:54.840 full
00:26:55.100 of
00:26:55.240 unclaimed
00:26:55.700 bodies
00:26:56.180 would
00:26:57.160 your
00:26:57.340 point
00:26:57.580 being
00:26:57.860 that
00:26:58.040 New York
00:26:58.340 City
00:26:58.600 is
00:26:58.860 not
00:26:59.140 experiencing
00:26:59.780 an
00:27:00.360 unusual
00:27:00.840 number
00:27:01.560 of
00:27:01.760 deaths
00:27:02.100 because
00:27:03.540 that's
00:27:03.820 something
00:27:04.080 that you
00:27:04.500 and I
00:27:04.740 could just
00:27:05.080 check
00:27:05.440 right
00:27:05.880 do you
00:27:07.300 think
00:27:07.500 that the
00:27:08.180 the mayor
00:27:09.360 of New York
00:27:09.740 City
00:27:10.000 and the
00:27:10.340 governor
00:27:10.640 of New York
00:27:11.320 don't know
00:27:12.820 but you
00:27:14.400 do
00:27:14.740 but you
00:27:16.260 know it
00:27:16.680 but the
00:27:17.040 governor
00:27:17.400 of the
00:27:18.080 state
00:27:18.360 and the
00:27:18.900 mayor
00:27:19.140 of New York
00:27:19.500 City
00:27:19.700 they don't
00:27:20.580 know
00:27:20.920 that the
00:27:21.580 number
00:27:21.860 of deaths
00:27:22.400 is just
00:27:23.380 the normal
00:27:23.840 number
00:27:24.200 is
00:27:25.360 is that
00:27:25.800 your point
00:27:26.180 of view
00:27:26.460 that the
00:27:27.440 mayor
00:27:27.640 hasn't
00:27:28.000 noticed
00:27:28.380 and he
00:27:30.160 just
00:27:30.400 thinks
00:27:30.640 there's
00:27:30.860 a lot
00:27:31.100 of
00:27:31.200 deaths
00:27:31.440 but he
00:27:32.320 just
00:27:32.600 is
00:27:32.900 counting
00:27:33.200 it
00:27:33.380 wrong
00:27:33.600 really
00:27:34.560 really
00:27:36.540 is that
00:27:37.360 what you
00:27:37.560 think
00:27:37.860 somebody
00:27:39.360 says
00:27:39.660 it's a
00:27:39.960 fake
00:27:40.140 picture
00:27:40.460 it could
00:27:40.700 be a
00:27:40.940 fake
00:27:41.080 picture
00:27:41.400 so
00:27:44.560 let me
00:27:46.160 say this
00:27:46.600 so there
00:27:47.000 some people
00:27:47.560 are doubting
00:27:48.200 the number
00:27:49.320 of deaths
00:27:49.840 those of
00:27:50.500 you who
00:27:50.740 are doubting
00:27:51.100 the number
00:27:51.500 of deaths
00:27:51.840 do you
00:27:52.200 believe
00:27:52.500 that there
00:27:52.860 are 7000
00:27:53.740 deaths
00:27:54.220 that although
00:27:56.240 they had
00:27:56.720 comorbidities
00:27:57.720 in many
00:27:58.200 cases
00:27:58.580 they probably
00:27:59.560 wouldn't have
00:28:00.020 been dying
00:28:00.520 this week
00:28:01.320 or these
00:28:02.540 weeks
00:28:02.920 just because
00:28:04.140 they had
00:28:04.480 diabetes
00:28:05.040 not many
00:28:06.380 of them
00:28:06.600 were going
00:28:06.860 to die
00:28:07.100 this week
00:28:07.680 so
00:28:09.780 let's put
00:28:11.500 it on the
00:28:11.860 facts
00:28:12.220 let's say
00:28:13.640 that you
00:28:14.280 and I
00:28:14.580 don't have
00:28:15.040 to decide
00:28:16.580 right now
00:28:17.160 whether New
00:28:17.880 York City
00:28:18.300 is experiencing
00:28:19.320 an unusual
00:28:20.160 number of
00:28:20.780 deaths
00:28:21.100 deaths
00:28:21.140 let's
00:28:22.900 just
00:28:23.140 let's
00:28:23.780 just
00:28:23.960 look it
00:28:24.300 up
00:28:24.680 look it
00:28:27.100 up
00:28:27.360 if it
00:28:28.120 turns out
00:28:28.700 if it
00:28:30.220 turns out
00:28:30.760 that New
00:28:31.340 York City
00:28:31.860 is experiencing
00:28:33.260 a normal
00:28:34.680 amount of
00:28:35.220 deaths
00:28:35.580 for this
00:28:36.080 period
00:28:36.480 well then
00:28:37.660 I'd say
00:28:38.040 you're probably
00:28:38.600 quite right
00:28:39.840 you're quite
00:28:41.280 right
00:28:41.640 but if it
00:28:42.940 turns out
00:28:43.320 that they're
00:28:43.700 experiencing
00:28:44.240 an unusual
00:28:44.960 number of
00:28:45.580 deaths
00:28:45.880 even
00:28:46.820 after
00:28:47.560 we're not
00:28:49.060 getting any
00:28:49.600 deaths
00:28:50.000 from traffic
00:28:51.240 accidents
00:28:51.880 and even
00:28:53.080 after all
00:28:53.740 the normal
00:28:54.340 sporting
00:28:55.340 accidents
00:28:55.900 and things
00:28:56.380 that normally
00:28:56.900 would fill
00:28:57.440 your hospital
00:28:57.980 even after
00:28:58.960 you take
00:28:59.400 them out
00:29:00.000 if we
00:29:01.640 still have
00:29:02.040 to bury
00:29:02.540 people in
00:29:03.060 mass graves
00:29:03.700 and refrigerated
00:29:04.580 trucks
00:29:04.980 in New York
00:29:05.860 City
00:29:06.160 that's telling
00:29:07.120 us something
00:29:07.620 right
00:29:07.940 right
00:29:09.080 okay
00:29:09.840 so
00:29:15.300 we're also
00:29:17.680 looking at
00:29:18.140 the differences
00:29:18.640 between
00:29:20.540 states
00:29:21.200 and there
00:29:22.580 are so
00:29:22.800 many
00:29:22.980 variables
00:29:23.480 that seem
00:29:23.860 to go
00:29:24.180 into
00:29:24.460 determining
00:29:25.120 whether
00:29:25.460 there's a
00:29:25.840 high death
00:29:26.180 rate
00:29:26.380 or not
00:29:26.720 or high
00:29:27.140 infection
00:29:27.460 rate
00:29:27.760 but there
00:29:28.840 are a few
00:29:29.160 that I
00:29:29.540 haven't seen
00:29:29.980 talked about
00:29:30.660 as much
00:29:31.620 and so
00:29:32.040 let me
00:29:32.400 mention
00:29:32.760 them
00:29:33.080 now of
00:29:34.760 course
00:29:35.000 California
00:29:35.600 has probably
00:29:36.340 lower
00:29:36.700 density
00:29:37.240 so that
00:29:39.280 might make
00:29:39.680 a difference
00:29:40.080 with New
00:29:40.860 York City
00:29:41.360 we're a
00:29:42.840 very
00:29:43.060 international
00:29:43.760 state
00:29:44.860 but probably
00:29:45.680 nothing is
00:29:46.340 as international
00:29:47.380 as New
00:29:47.900 York City
00:29:48.500 I would
00:29:49.000 guess
00:29:49.320 so
00:29:50.440 as
00:29:51.420 connected to
00:29:53.480 the rest
00:29:53.740 of the world
00:29:54.100 as California
00:29:54.740 is
00:29:55.080 probably
00:29:55.380 there's
00:29:55.640 nothing
00:29:55.900 like New
00:29:56.300 York City
00:29:56.640 so that
00:29:57.040 would be
00:29:57.280 one
00:29:57.460 difference
00:29:57.840 and of
00:29:59.140 course
00:29:59.320 fewer
00:29:59.660 elevators
00:30:00.260 and people
00:30:01.040 are
00:30:01.300 people are
00:30:02.280 commuting
00:30:02.640 in cars
00:30:03.260 by themselves
00:30:03.940 and stuff
00:30:04.420 so there's
00:30:04.700 a lot of
00:30:04.920 difference
00:30:05.220 in California
00:30:06.400 but somebody
00:30:06.920 said
00:30:07.300 oh
00:30:08.520 then
00:30:08.860 but I
00:30:09.180 also wanted
00:30:09.560 to add
00:30:09.860 this to
00:30:10.320 the mix
00:30:10.760 I think
00:30:11.980 California
00:30:12.660 has one
00:30:13.660 of the
00:30:13.960 lowest
00:30:14.340 rates
00:30:14.760 of
00:30:15.040 obesity
00:30:15.660 and
00:30:16.640 cigarette
00:30:17.060 smoking
00:30:17.580 I think
00:30:19.840 we're
00:30:20.460 in the
00:30:20.840 top
00:30:21.100 10%
00:30:22.100 of
00:30:22.540 thinnest
00:30:23.280 people
00:30:23.720 so
00:30:25.020 if
00:30:25.580 all you
00:30:26.160 did
00:30:26.340 is
00:30:26.500 compare
00:30:26.840 New
00:30:27.060 York
00:30:27.260 City
00:30:27.580 to
00:30:28.280 California
00:30:30.060 would there
00:30:32.260 be a
00:30:32.540 difference
00:30:32.820 in average
00:30:33.280 weight
00:30:33.720 New
00:30:34.520 York
00:30:34.680 City
00:30:34.880 is
00:30:35.000 actually
00:30:35.280 kind
00:30:35.520 of
00:30:35.620 a thin
00:30:36.060 city
00:30:37.720 so I
00:30:38.080 don't
00:30:38.180 know
00:30:38.320 if that
00:30:38.560 would
00:30:38.700 hold up
00:30:39.120 but if
00:30:40.300 you looked
00:30:40.580 at the
00:30:40.860 country
00:30:41.160 in general
00:30:41.700 Californians
00:30:43.080 are way
00:30:43.500 thinner
00:30:43.800 I mean
00:30:44.440 a lot
00:30:44.960 thinner
00:30:45.220 if you've
00:30:46.200 ever
00:30:46.360 traveled
00:30:46.780 from
00:30:47.120 let's
00:30:47.360 say
00:30:47.500 you're
00:30:47.720 taking
00:30:48.060 a
00:30:48.220 flight
00:30:48.540 and you
00:30:49.240 have a
00:30:49.480 layover
00:30:49.880 in
00:30:50.120 Dallas
00:30:50.540 and you're
00:30:51.480 walking
00:30:51.720 around
00:30:51.960 in the
00:30:52.200 airport
00:30:52.420 looking
00:30:52.760 at the
00:30:53.060 people
00:30:53.300 and then
00:30:54.460 you land
00:30:54.920 in Los
00:30:55.560 Angeles
00:30:56.000 LAX
00:30:56.660 and then
00:30:57.380 you walk
00:30:57.700 around
00:30:57.920 and look
00:30:58.180 at the
00:30:58.400 people
00:30:58.660 they don't
00:31:00.040 look
00:31:00.260 the
00:31:00.460 same
00:31:00.820 in LA
00:31:03.080 you'd
00:31:03.980 have to
00:31:04.260 look
00:31:04.460 pretty
00:31:04.700 hard
00:31:04.900 to find
00:31:05.220 anybody
00:31:05.580 who's
00:31:05.840 overweight
00:31:06.180 it's
00:31:06.920 actually
00:31:07.220 kind
00:31:07.520 of rare
00:31:07.920 at the
00:31:08.340 airport
00:31:08.640 because
00:31:10.100 at the
00:31:10.360 airport
00:31:10.600 is higher
00:31:11.340 income
00:31:11.680 people
00:31:12.040 the lower
00:31:13.660 income
00:31:13.940 people
00:31:14.280 have a
00:31:14.580 little
00:31:14.660 more
00:31:14.840 weight
00:31:15.000 problem
00:31:15.280 but if
00:31:16.200 you go
00:31:16.380 to Dallas
00:31:16.900 and you
00:31:17.740 walk out
00:31:18.520 in the
00:31:18.840 airport
00:31:19.200 it's
00:31:20.240 75%
00:31:21.960 of the
00:31:22.180 people
00:31:22.380 are
00:31:22.640 overweight
00:31:23.720 so we
00:31:25.180 should look
00:31:25.480 at that
00:31:25.820 the weight
00:31:26.540 of different
00:31:27.080 states
00:31:27.460 that should
00:31:27.760 be a factor
00:31:28.220 and smoking
00:31:29.380 rates
00:31:29.780 that should
00:31:30.080 be a factor
00:31:30.560 and somebody
00:31:31.560 pointed out
00:31:32.060 on Twitter
00:31:32.600 that Colorado
00:31:35.040 also has
00:31:36.000 they're having
00:31:36.940 some problems
00:31:37.660 and so
00:31:39.220 it might not
00:31:40.540 just be
00:31:41.100 weight
00:31:41.660 because
00:31:42.220 Colorado
00:31:42.880 Colorado
00:31:43.780 wins
00:31:44.500 people in
00:31:45.620 Colorado
00:31:46.040 are also
00:31:47.200 not overweight
00:31:48.040 but they
00:31:49.500 are having
00:31:50.080 a high
00:31:50.900 problem
00:31:51.280 with infections
00:31:51.940 and deaths
00:31:52.560 and so I
00:31:54.060 looked up
00:31:54.400 their humidity
00:31:55.120 and it turns
00:31:56.520 out that
00:31:56.980 Colorado
00:31:57.360 has very
00:31:57.880 low humidity
00:31:58.720 which is
00:31:59.840 one of the
00:32:00.240 variables that
00:32:00.840 would cause
00:32:01.220 you to have
00:32:01.720 more infections
00:32:02.400 so California
00:32:03.460 has relatively
00:32:04.200 higher humidity
00:32:05.040 than Colorado
00:32:05.860 so I'm
00:32:07.560 wondering if
00:32:08.100 we're coming
00:32:08.700 to the point
00:32:09.180 where we
00:32:10.020 can identify
00:32:10.880 I don't know
00:32:12.500 seven different
00:32:13.380 variables that
00:32:14.360 are the most
00:32:15.400 important ones
00:32:16.240 and it would
00:32:17.040 explain everything
00:32:18.000 we're seeing
00:32:18.640 in the different
00:32:19.220 death rates
00:32:20.100 so we've got
00:32:21.240 age and
00:32:22.300 comorbidities
00:32:23.960 and living in
00:32:24.860 the same
00:32:25.200 households
00:32:25.780 and density
00:32:27.320 humidity
00:32:28.480 weight
00:32:29.640 rates of
00:32:30.540 smoking
00:32:30.960 all those
00:32:32.300 things
00:32:32.580 all right
00:32:33.600 Europeans
00:32:38.840 are
00:32:39.120 so here's
00:32:41.220 a question
00:32:41.560 I asked
00:32:41.920 yesterday
00:32:42.260 I still
00:32:42.660 don't have
00:32:42.960 an answer
00:32:43.320 somebody
00:32:44.080 suggested
00:32:44.660 Sweden
00:32:45.140 but in
00:32:46.420 the same
00:32:46.780 way that
00:32:47.180 I'm saying
00:32:47.580 that New
00:32:48.420 York City
00:32:48.980 might tell
00:32:49.860 us a little
00:32:50.400 bit about
00:32:50.980 what the rest
00:32:52.100 of the country
00:32:52.560 could have
00:32:53.080 looked like
00:32:53.560 if we
00:32:53.900 acted
00:32:54.140 differently
00:32:54.520 there must
00:32:55.540 be some
00:32:56.040 country
00:32:56.540 that would
00:32:57.840 make a good
00:32:58.340 reference point
00:32:59.080 for us
00:32:59.520 so I'd be
00:33:00.540 looking for
00:33:00.980 a country
00:33:01.420 that did
00:33:02.080 everything
00:33:03.240 that we
00:33:03.860 did
00:33:04.300 except for
00:33:05.940 mitigation
00:33:06.480 so if you
00:33:08.340 could find
00:33:08.780 something that
00:33:09.560 that on all
00:33:10.440 the other
00:33:10.800 variables that
00:33:11.560 were sort of
00:33:12.100 similar to us
00:33:12.840 but they did
00:33:13.760 no mitigation
00:33:14.500 whatsoever
00:33:14.960 I mean
00:33:15.520 no
00:33:16.000 yeah no
00:33:17.220 mitigation
00:33:17.620 so no
00:33:18.740 masks
00:33:19.360 and no
00:33:20.520 social
00:33:20.880 isolation
00:33:21.400 and then
00:33:22.720 you let
00:33:23.140 that run
00:33:23.540 for a while
00:33:24.100 so that
00:33:24.520 you know
00:33:24.960 because
00:33:25.180 they're getting
00:33:25.940 infected at
00:33:26.620 different timing
00:33:27.420 but at the
00:33:28.820 end of the
00:33:29.200 run
00:33:29.540 could we
00:33:30.640 look at
00:33:31.180 Sweden
00:33:31.860 for example
00:33:32.780 and say
00:33:33.620 okay
00:33:33.940 Sweden
00:33:34.460 is the
00:33:35.100 model
00:33:35.460 for if
00:33:36.740 we had
00:33:37.060 not
00:33:37.280 mitigated
00:33:37.860 it would
00:33:38.720 look like
00:33:39.140 whatever
00:33:39.420 happened
00:33:39.760 in Sweden
00:33:40.200 can
00:33:42.600 somebody
00:33:43.220 can
00:33:47.560 somebody
00:33:48.100 give me
00:33:49.440 an example
00:33:50.040 of what
00:33:50.460 country
00:33:51.040 we should
00:33:52.240 agree
00:33:52.600 today
00:33:53.180 will be
00:33:54.740 in the
00:33:55.020 future
00:33:55.360 the point
00:33:55.840 we
00:33:56.060 the one
00:33:56.560 we compare
00:33:57.060 ourselves
00:33:57.480 to
00:33:57.740 can
00:33:58.200 somebody
00:33:58.500 do
00:33:58.680 that
00:33:58.920 somebody
00:34:01.040 says
00:34:01.320 zero
00:34:01.660 deaths
00:34:02.000 on
00:34:02.220 Maui
00:34:02.600 well
00:34:03.080 Maui
00:34:03.640 is a
00:34:03.900 special
00:34:04.160 case
00:34:04.580 you know
00:34:05.500 half the
00:34:07.020 people
00:34:07.240 in Maui
00:34:07.740 are just
00:34:08.200 there
00:34:08.420 for the
00:34:08.740 two
00:34:09.020 weeks
00:34:09.340 so they
00:34:10.820 go home
00:34:11.180 to die
00:34:11.520 I think
00:34:11.880 New York
00:34:16.540 City
00:34:16.780 Mayor
00:34:17.080 says
00:34:17.460 park
00:34:17.900 burials
00:34:18.440 is fake
00:34:19.160 news
00:34:19.600 per CNN
00:34:20.540 which is
00:34:24.320 easy to
00:34:24.760 believe
00:34:25.100 by the
00:34:25.740 way
00:34:25.920 it would
00:34:26.360 be easy
00:34:26.820 for me
00:34:27.200 to believe
00:34:27.560 that the
00:34:27.960 park
00:34:28.300 burials
00:34:28.720 is fake
00:34:29.160 news
00:34:29.460 I don't
00:34:29.740 know
00:34:29.880 if that's
00:34:30.200 true
00:34:30.400 but it
00:34:31.160 doesn't
00:34:31.400 change
00:34:31.660 anything
00:34:31.980 I said
00:34:32.480 because
00:34:33.380 the raw
00:34:33.940 number
00:34:34.360 of dead
00:34:34.960 is the
00:34:36.280 only one
00:34:36.560 that matters
00:34:37.000 it doesn't
00:34:37.360 matter
00:34:37.560 where you
00:34:38.020 put them
00:34:38.440 if there
00:34:39.400 are a lot
00:34:39.740 of them
00:34:39.980 there are
00:34:40.200 a lot
00:34:40.420 of them
00:34:40.700 no matter
00:34:41.220 where they
00:34:41.580 go
00:34:41.800 so
00:34:43.000 some
00:34:43.780 people
00:34:44.360 are saying
00:34:44.700 Sweden
00:34:45.060 some
00:34:45.980 people
00:34:46.220 are saying
00:34:46.520 Norway
00:34:46.880 I don't
00:34:49.120 know
00:34:49.300 did Sweden
00:34:49.860 do mitigation
00:34:50.620 did they
00:34:51.140 do masks
00:34:51.820 I don't
00:34:52.300 know
00:34:52.580 somebody
00:34:56.180 says the
00:34:56.620 average weight
00:34:57.160 of a
00:34:57.460 female in
00:34:58.000 New York
00:34:58.500 is 150
00:35:00.040 but in
00:35:00.840 LA it's
00:35:01.580 more
00:35:01.880 156
00:35:03.180 interesting
00:35:04.760 that's an
00:35:06.200 average
00:35:06.580 the
00:35:07.360 obesity
00:35:08.060 level
00:35:08.640 though
00:35:09.620 for
00:35:10.180 California
00:35:11.180 California
00:35:11.240 is
00:35:11.480 actually
00:35:11.860 low
00:35:12.200 recent
00:35:15.680 report
00:35:16.080 marijuana
00:35:16.560 causes
00:35:17.000 bronchitis
00:35:17.640 inflammation
00:35:18.220 and that's
00:35:19.340 the worst
00:35:19.760 case
00:35:20.180 with the
00:35:20.740 virus
00:35:21.140 could be
00:35:21.960 somebody
00:35:24.940 somebody says
00:35:25.260 Australia
00:35:26.080 didn't Australia
00:35:27.280 do some
00:35:27.980 mitigation
00:35:28.480 something like
00:35:33.080 that
00:35:33.360 New York
00:35:35.460 is analogous
00:35:36.280 to Italy
00:35:36.940 well I don't
00:35:37.660 know if it
00:35:38.440 is because
00:35:39.040 Italy had
00:35:39.900 some seriously
00:35:41.940 unhealthy
00:35:42.460 people
00:35:42.920 I don't know
00:35:43.420 what the
00:35:43.880 obesity rate
00:35:45.660 is for
00:35:46.280 Italy
00:35:46.660 well why don't
00:35:47.380 we find
00:35:47.760 out
00:35:48.080 hey Siri
00:35:50.280 Google
00:35:52.080 obesity rate
00:35:53.260 for Italy
00:35:54.060 ok
00:35:56.380 I found
00:35:57.340 this on
00:35:57.660 the web
00:35:57.980 for
00:35:58.180 obesity
00:35:58.520 let's
00:36:00.300 see
00:36:00.920 how the
00:36:04.440 obesity rate
00:36:05.180 in Italy
00:36:05.580 looks
00:36:05.980 it's
00:36:08.320 considered
00:36:08.700 mild
00:36:09.140 compared
00:36:10.180 to
00:36:10.420 its
00:36:10.580 neighbors
00:36:10.960 to
00:36:14.580 Europe
00:36:15.580 oh
00:36:18.220 European
00:36:18.800 obesity
00:36:19.480 is one
00:36:19.840 of the
00:36:20.020 highest
00:36:20.360 I didn't
00:36:20.780 know
00:36:20.900 that
00:36:21.200 so
00:36:27.060 Italy
00:36:27.560 Italy
00:36:28.060 is not
00:36:28.680 appreciably
00:36:30.680 worse than
00:36:31.420 other European
00:36:32.220 countries
00:36:32.720 but apparently
00:36:33.460 the European
00:36:34.000 countries
00:36:34.560 are
00:36:34.800 over a
00:36:37.340 third of
00:36:37.620 them are
00:36:37.940 obese
00:36:38.320 in
00:36:39.040 childhood
00:36:39.440 Sweden
00:36:43.500 has
00:36:43.920 low
00:36:44.400 density
00:36:44.840 40%
00:36:47.240 working
00:36:47.580 at home
00:36:47.860 anyway
00:36:48.200 yeah
00:36:48.820 ventilators
00:36:53.040 are making
00:36:53.500 it worse
00:36:53.980 yeah
00:36:54.600 somebody's
00:36:55.280 saying in
00:36:55.540 the comments
00:36:56.000 that ventilators
00:36:56.680 are making
00:36:57.280 it worse
00:36:57.540 I don't
00:36:58.100 know that
00:36:58.420 that's
00:36:58.700 true
00:36:59.060 but I
00:36:59.440 did see
00:36:59.940 a
00:37:00.380 was it
00:37:02.020 a video
00:37:02.420 or an
00:37:03.180 article
00:37:03.440 by a
00:37:03.840 doctor
00:37:04.160 who
00:37:05.000 put people
00:37:06.060 on
00:37:06.240 ventilators
00:37:06.760 and the
00:37:07.600 doctor
00:37:07.940 was
00:37:08.460 speculating
00:37:09.120 that if
00:37:10.360 we've
00:37:10.760 slightly
00:37:11.340 misdiagnosed
00:37:12.360 the problem
00:37:13.000 and that
00:37:13.440 maybe the
00:37:13.940 problem
00:37:14.240 happens
00:37:14.660 is in
00:37:14.820 the blood
00:37:15.300 not
00:37:16.280 the lungs
00:37:16.780 and the
00:37:17.280 lungs are
00:37:17.940 more the
00:37:18.440 result of
00:37:20.300 the blood
00:37:20.640 not doing
00:37:21.100 its job
00:37:21.580 which would
00:37:23.000 have
00:37:24.060 implications
00:37:24.580 for how
00:37:25.320 you treat
00:37:25.740 it
00:37:25.980 one of the
00:37:26.680 implications
00:37:27.120 is that
00:37:28.280 if the
00:37:28.760 problem is
00:37:29.420 in the
00:37:29.740 lungs
00:37:30.140 then a
00:37:31.220 ventilator
00:37:31.660 makes
00:37:31.960 sense
00:37:32.400 but if
00:37:33.380 the problem
00:37:33.900 was in
00:37:34.780 the blood
00:37:35.200 the blood
00:37:35.640 failed to be
00:37:36.620 able to
00:37:36.880 carry enough
00:37:37.360 oxygen
00:37:37.780 because of
00:37:38.340 the virus
00:37:38.820 then putting
00:37:40.520 the ventilator
00:37:41.140 in the lungs
00:37:41.720 and treating
00:37:42.440 it as
00:37:42.960 though it's
00:37:43.340 a lung
00:37:43.700 problem
00:37:44.160 would cause
00:37:45.440 you to set
00:37:45.980 the ventilator
00:37:46.760 settings at
00:37:47.400 the wrong
00:37:47.760 setting
00:37:48.200 because you
00:37:48.680 had misdiagnosed
00:37:49.560 what's going
00:37:50.040 on
00:37:50.360 and then the
00:37:51.340 ventilator would
00:37:52.000 cause more
00:37:52.600 problems than
00:37:53.380 it would help
00:37:53.820 or at least
00:37:54.560 it would cause
00:37:55.000 damage even if
00:37:56.000 it was helping
00:37:56.460 so there's
00:37:57.720 at least
00:37:58.180 some speculation
00:37:59.280 from a
00:38:00.360 doctor
00:38:00.660 who does
00:38:01.540 ventilators
00:38:02.480 and has a
00:38:03.260 theory
00:38:03.560 but it's still
00:38:04.520 speculation at
00:38:05.280 this point
00:38:05.680 that the
00:38:06.640 ventilators might
00:38:07.380 actually be
00:38:07.920 making it worse
00:38:08.560 now I saw
00:38:09.760 I heard a
00:38:10.800 statistic that
00:38:13.400 needs to be
00:38:13.820 checked
00:38:14.100 so yesterday
00:38:15.340 somebody said
00:38:16.160 something about
00:38:16.980 maybe it was
00:38:17.760 just New York
00:38:18.380 City
00:38:18.640 that 40%
00:38:20.380 of the
00:38:20.760 ventilator
00:38:21.280 patients are
00:38:21.980 coming off
00:38:22.660 the ventilator
00:38:23.340 which seemed
00:38:25.240 high to me
00:38:26.100 so I need a
00:38:27.520 fact check on
00:38:28.120 this
00:38:28.360 because my
00:38:28.780 understanding
00:38:29.340 was that
00:38:30.440 once you
00:38:30.880 got on a
00:38:31.540 ventilator
00:38:32.080 it didn't
00:38:32.620 matter what
00:38:33.080 the reason
00:38:33.700 was
00:38:34.120 that by the
00:38:35.160 time you
00:38:35.540 get on a
00:38:35.960 ventilator
00:38:36.540 your odds
00:38:37.880 of ever
00:38:38.620 getting off
00:38:39.220 it
00:38:39.460 and improving
00:38:41.140 and just
00:38:41.600 having a full
00:38:42.100 recovery
00:38:42.540 I thought it
00:38:43.800 was low
00:38:44.320 like in the
00:38:45.460 10% range
00:38:46.640 but then I
00:38:48.300 heard that the
00:38:48.940 New York
00:38:49.200 City experience
00:38:51.180 I think it was
00:38:51.840 New York City
00:38:52.360 I need a fact
00:38:53.080 check on that
00:38:53.600 was something
00:38:54.420 like 40%
00:38:55.440 of people
00:38:55.800 getting off
00:38:56.320 ventilators
00:38:56.900 now could
00:38:59.040 it be
00:38:59.480 that one
00:39:00.740 of the
00:39:01.000 things that
00:39:01.560 the emergency
00:39:02.520 health care
00:39:03.680 people are
00:39:04.320 learning
00:39:04.700 is that they
00:39:05.800 have to adjust
00:39:06.580 the ventilator
00:39:07.340 settings differently
00:39:08.280 so it could
00:39:09.440 be that on
00:39:09.980 day one
00:39:10.540 people were
00:39:11.520 not doing
00:39:11.980 so well
00:39:12.400 on ventilators
00:39:13.080 because maybe
00:39:13.620 they had the
00:39:14.040 settings wrong
00:39:14.720 there are a lot
00:39:15.440 of different
00:39:16.120 ways you can
00:39:17.600 set them
00:39:18.080 for how much
00:39:18.700 pressure it
00:39:19.160 puts
00:39:19.340 so it could
00:39:20.440 be that they
00:39:21.100 figured out
00:39:21.580 how to fine
00:39:22.120 tune the
00:39:22.500 ventilators
00:39:23.120 to get
00:39:24.120 the benefits
00:39:24.700 without having
00:39:26.240 too much
00:39:26.640 pressure and
00:39:27.240 causing its
00:39:27.980 own problems
00:39:28.620 Dr. Shiva
00:39:32.500 says a
00:39:33.040 high dosage
00:39:33.680 of vitamin
00:39:34.220 C drip
00:39:34.960 may not
00:39:35.620 require
00:39:36.140 intubation
00:39:37.380 is that the
00:39:39.060 thing you
00:39:39.340 wanted me to
00:39:40.120 comment on
00:39:41.100 because I
00:39:41.700 can't really
00:39:42.080 comment on
00:39:42.720 a medical
00:39:43.480 claim
00:39:43.960 so if the
00:39:47.400 claim is that
00:39:48.120 a vitamin
00:39:48.800 C drip
00:39:49.420 can do
00:39:50.500 that
00:39:50.900 I would
00:39:52.200 hope
00:39:52.400 somebody's
00:39:52.940 looking into
00:39:53.940 that right
00:39:54.320 now
00:39:54.520 but I
00:39:55.280 don't have
00:39:55.580 a comment
00:39:56.120 about whether
00:39:56.580 that's true
00:39:57.080 or false
00:39:57.520 how could
00:39:57.900 I
00:39:58.080 somebody
00:39:59.760 asked me
00:40:00.200 why does
00:40:00.820 India
00:40:01.880 seem to
00:40:02.580 have
00:40:02.760 relatively
00:40:03.300 low
00:40:03.760 infections
00:40:04.440 I can
00:40:05.760 think of
00:40:06.100 two reasons
00:40:06.680 one
00:40:07.260 they don't
00:40:08.600 know who
00:40:08.880 is infected
00:40:09.380 how hard
00:40:10.680 is it to
00:40:11.140 find out
00:40:11.520 if somebody
00:40:12.040 has
00:40:12.840 coronavirus
00:40:13.300 if they're
00:40:14.700 in some
00:40:15.080 small village
00:40:15.980 in India
00:40:16.780 what's the
00:40:18.940 health care
00:40:19.420 look like
00:40:20.080 outside of
00:40:21.160 the metro
00:40:21.500 areas
00:40:22.080 so I
00:40:22.980 don't know
00:40:23.540 if anybody
00:40:23.980 knows what
00:40:24.580 the infection
00:40:25.060 rate or
00:40:25.540 even the
00:40:25.880 death rate
00:40:26.280 is in
00:40:26.780 India
00:40:27.080 because I
00:40:27.840 don't know
00:40:28.160 how well
00:40:28.520 they can
00:40:28.840 report that
00:40:29.520 stuff
00:40:29.900 given the
00:40:30.440 size and
00:40:32.220 the level
00:40:33.700 of poverty
00:40:34.260 and everything
00:40:35.360 else
00:40:35.660 but there's
00:40:36.980 also speculation
00:40:37.840 speculation
00:40:38.140 that India
00:40:40.820 being a
00:40:41.560 major
00:40:42.120 producer
00:40:43.280 of
00:40:43.740 hydroxychloroquine
00:40:44.760 I think
00:40:45.340 their number
00:40:45.880 one producer
00:40:46.740 or the
00:40:47.680 number one
00:40:48.140 source for
00:40:48.720 the United
00:40:49.040 States
00:40:49.480 for that
00:40:49.820 drug
00:40:50.100 there's
00:40:51.820 thought that
00:40:52.320 the citizens
00:40:53.340 are either
00:40:53.900 many of them
00:40:54.580 are already
00:40:54.960 on it
00:40:55.440 because of
00:40:55.960 malaria
00:40:56.260 or could
00:40:56.840 easily get
00:40:57.500 it
00:40:57.780 and that
00:40:58.740 maybe that's
00:40:59.260 part of the
00:40:59.660 reason that
00:41:00.220 it doesn't
00:41:00.900 look like
00:41:01.360 it's as
00:41:01.960 big a
00:41:02.240 problem
00:41:02.480 there
00:41:02.820 ventilators
00:41:07.340 can't be
00:41:07.700 used if
00:41:08.060 the lungs
00:41:08.380 are too
00:41:08.780 filled with
00:41:09.260 fluid
00:41:09.580 somebody
00:41:09.940 says
00:41:10.200 well
00:41:10.460 I don't
00:41:10.980 know
00:41:11.240 all I can
00:41:12.780 say for
00:41:13.140 sure
00:41:13.660 is that
00:41:15.900 there seems
00:41:16.420 to be
00:41:16.980 some reason
00:41:18.100 to believe
00:41:18.540 that if
00:41:18.880 you don't
00:41:19.180 have the
00:41:19.520 ventilator
00:41:20.020 at the
00:41:20.360 right
00:41:20.520 settings
00:41:21.140 it could
00:41:22.420 do more
00:41:22.820 harm than
00:41:23.240 good
00:41:23.500 so maybe
00:41:24.280 we just
00:41:24.700 got smarter
00:41:25.280 about the
00:41:25.720 settings
00:41:26.040 that would
00:41:26.420 make sense
00:41:27.000 somebody
00:41:29.680 says
00:41:30.000 vitamin C
00:41:30.620 is not
00:41:30.960 a cure
00:41:31.420 fools
00:41:32.260 well
00:41:33.620 I certainly
00:41:34.680 would not
00:41:35.440 be saying
00:41:36.120 vitamin C
00:41:36.900 is a cure
00:41:37.720 and I doubt
00:41:39.600 that Dr.
00:41:40.620 Shiva is
00:41:41.100 saying it's
00:41:41.500 a cure
00:41:42.100 if the
00:41:44.560 claim that
00:41:45.080 I saw
00:41:45.400 in the
00:41:45.620 comments
00:41:46.020 is correct
00:41:47.320 it's a
00:41:47.920 very limited
00:41:48.540 claim that
00:41:49.180 it could
00:41:49.440 keep you
00:41:49.900 off the
00:41:50.340 ventilator
00:41:50.880 I don't
00:41:51.900 know if
00:41:52.120 there's
00:41:52.280 any studies
00:41:52.820 to show
00:41:53.220 that
00:41:53.500 I have
00:41:54.140 no idea
00:41:54.620 why does
00:41:57.980 Russia have
00:41:58.680 a low
00:41:59.200 infection
00:42:00.800 rate
00:42:01.160 well I
00:42:01.900 wouldn't
00:42:02.100 trust any
00:42:02.580 numbers out
00:42:03.080 of Russia
00:42:03.440 would you
00:42:03.920 same thing
00:42:05.840 India only
00:42:10.740 has a
00:42:11.060 billion people
00:42:11.640 yes
00:42:12.060 Trump said
00:42:16.300 we have
00:42:16.600 ventilators
00:42:17.200 but not
00:42:17.640 enough
00:42:17.900 qualified
00:42:18.500 people
00:42:19.120 yeah that
00:42:19.840 that is
00:42:20.800 a problem
00:42:21.260 I did
00:42:22.280 hear from
00:42:22.740 a ventilator
00:42:23.640 expert
00:42:24.240 once
00:42:25.020 on Twitter
00:42:25.880 so it's
00:42:26.500 you know
00:42:26.940 take that
00:42:27.900 with a
00:42:28.100 grain of
00:42:28.420 salt
00:42:28.580 and the
00:42:29.580 ventilator
00:42:30.140 guy said
00:42:30.780 that if
00:42:31.600 you wanted
00:42:31.860 to go to
00:42:32.220 school to
00:42:32.800 be a
00:42:33.040 ventilator
00:42:33.640 operator
00:42:34.240 technician
00:42:35.260 whatever
00:42:35.620 they're
00:42:35.880 called
00:42:36.040 it might
00:42:36.800 take a
00:42:37.180 few years
00:42:37.680 of school
00:42:38.080 but if
00:42:39.560 you wanted
00:42:39.960 to quickly
00:42:40.660 train let's
00:42:41.400 say somebody
00:42:41.980 who was
00:42:42.280 already a
00:42:43.060 nurse
00:42:43.420 so they
00:42:44.300 had some
00:42:44.660 background
00:42:45.100 in health
00:42:46.520 so if
00:42:47.480 you took
00:42:47.740 a nurse
00:42:48.200 and tried
00:42:48.700 to say
00:42:48.980 okay it's
00:42:49.440 an emergency
00:42:50.000 I'm going
00:42:51.040 to try to
00:42:51.400 train you
00:42:51.780 as quickly
00:42:52.180 as possible
00:42:52.820 just for
00:42:53.380 these
00:42:53.660 just for
00:42:54.540 this one
00:42:54.900 type of
00:42:55.280 machine
00:42:55.600 that you
00:42:55.960 use in
00:42:56.300 your
00:42:56.420 hospital
00:42:56.860 and just
00:42:57.940 for
00:42:58.120 coronavirus
00:42:58.540 patients
00:42:59.280 and so
00:43:00.860 the one
00:43:01.140 person who
00:43:01.540 was an
00:43:01.780 expert in
00:43:02.280 said okay
00:43:02.840 if you
00:43:03.140 limit it
00:43:03.660 to that
00:43:04.180 and you
00:43:05.120 start with
00:43:05.600 a nurse
00:43:06.140 who's got
00:43:06.940 some general
00:43:07.440 background
00:43:07.860 and you
00:43:08.860 stick with
00:43:09.240 one machine
00:43:09.920 and you
00:43:11.440 tell them
00:43:11.740 just how to
00:43:12.340 use it
00:43:12.600 for this
00:43:12.880 one problem
00:43:13.520 you could
00:43:14.380 probably
00:43:14.580 train people
00:43:15.160 up pretty
00:43:15.520 quickly
00:43:15.820 I don't
00:43:18.400 know if
00:43:18.640 it's
00:43:18.760 happening
00:43:19.600 vitamin D
00:43:24.560 is more
00:43:24.960 important
00:43:25.360 says
00:43:25.860 someone
00:43:26.220 I think
00:43:27.260 we're all
00:43:27.640 in the
00:43:27.900 same boat
00:43:28.360 these are
00:43:29.420 all claims
00:43:30.020 which have
00:43:30.500 some
00:43:30.860 they have
00:43:32.560 some reason
00:43:33.100 to think
00:43:33.540 you'd want
00:43:34.000 to know
00:43:34.200 more about
00:43:34.660 it
00:43:34.860 but
00:43:35.080 we don't
00:43:37.820 saying
00:43:41.080 that something
00:43:41.620 is not a
00:43:42.280 cure because
00:43:42.860 it doesn't
00:43:43.340 cure 100%
00:43:44.420 is loser
00:43:45.180 think
00:43:45.580 that is
00:43:46.940 well true
00:43:49.580 except for
00:43:50.080 the word
00:43:50.480 cure
00:43:50.980 does
00:43:52.580 imply
00:43:53.880 that it
00:43:54.300 works
00:43:54.700 this does
00:43:59.420 sound like
00:43:59.800 a very
00:44:00.060 similar
00:44:00.380 condition
00:44:00.820 to high
00:44:01.340 altitude
00:44:01.780 edema
00:44:02.640 and would
00:44:04.260 it be
00:44:04.560 a coincidence
00:44:05.160 that the
00:44:05.820 high altitude
00:44:06.500 places
00:44:07.220 like
00:44:08.000 Colorado
00:44:09.780 have problems
00:44:10.760 there are
00:44:11.700 some low
00:44:12.080 altitude
00:44:12.400 places
00:44:12.840 have problems
00:44:13.480 too
00:44:13.700 is
00:44:16.000 Mexico City
00:44:17.100 making
00:44:17.540 mass graves
00:44:18.240 or not
00:44:18.700 I don't
00:44:19.020 know anything
00:44:19.360 about that
00:44:20.120 somebody
00:44:23.980 says
00:44:24.280 their wife
00:44:24.780 isn't
00:44:25.480 trained
00:44:25.840 for the
00:44:26.280 ventilators
00:44:26.820 but has
00:44:27.780 made use
00:44:28.800 of them
00:44:29.140 yeah I
00:44:29.840 think that
00:44:30.180 would be
00:44:30.440 common
00:44:30.800 yeah so
00:44:38.620 I'm seeing
00:44:39.060 many of you
00:44:39.500 commenting on
00:44:40.220 the thing I
00:44:40.820 just mentioned
00:44:41.400 so there
00:44:42.300 is some
00:44:43.800 thought
00:44:44.700 that's
00:44:45.360 unproven
00:44:45.920 that the
00:44:47.160 problem
00:44:47.500 happens in
00:44:48.060 the blood
00:44:48.480 and that's
00:44:48.960 why the
00:44:49.260 hydroxychloroquine
00:44:50.260 works
00:44:50.760 because the way
00:44:51.900 it works
00:44:52.260 against malaria
00:44:52.960 is that it
00:44:53.660 works in the
00:44:55.220 blood
00:44:55.500 not in the
00:44:56.120 lungs
00:44:56.380 I thought
00:44:59.280 the need for
00:44:59.760 ventilators
00:45:00.320 is down
00:45:00.980 that is
00:45:01.480 correct
00:45:01.820 my hypothesis
00:45:03.460 is that the
00:45:04.660 need for
00:45:05.080 ventilators
00:45:05.720 is down
00:45:06.560 because
00:45:07.720 hydroxychloroquine
00:45:08.920 or maybe
00:45:09.360 something else
00:45:10.120 is working
00:45:11.240 that is my
00:45:12.960 hypothesis
00:45:13.820 we'll find
00:45:14.780 out later
00:45:15.260 yeah Mexico
00:45:22.040 City has
00:45:22.600 9 million
00:45:23.140 people
00:45:23.580 more than
00:45:24.000 New York
00:45:24.260 City
00:45:24.500 so you
00:45:25.720 have to
00:45:25.960 be careful
00:45:26.380 about the
00:45:26.820 timing of
00:45:27.360 stuff
00:45:27.660 because
00:45:28.140 if
00:45:29.660 Mexico
00:45:30.500 City
00:45:30.960 is
00:45:31.300 just
00:45:32.100 starting
00:45:32.500 to get
00:45:32.880 infected
00:45:33.360 we'll
00:45:35.120 see
00:45:35.380 because
00:45:36.560 I would
00:45:38.200 think
00:45:38.420 Mexico
00:45:38.900 City
00:45:39.220 is in
00:45:39.520 the
00:45:39.640 worst
00:45:39.840 possible
00:45:40.320 situation
00:45:40.880 right
00:45:41.180 it's
00:45:41.920 dense
00:45:42.220 it's
00:45:42.480 polluted
00:45:42.940 health care
00:45:44.220 is probably
00:45:44.600 not as
00:45:45.200 good as
00:45:45.460 it could
00:45:45.700 be
00:45:45.940 why don't
00:45:51.640 we have
00:45:51.980 solid data
00:45:52.660 on hydroxychloroquine
00:45:54.140 treatment yet
00:45:54.940 that's a really
00:45:56.100 good question
00:45:56.780 and I don't
00:45:58.020 understand that
00:45:58.700 either
00:45:58.960 because
00:45:59.480 correct me
00:46:00.140 if I'm
00:46:00.440 wrong
00:46:00.760 the whole
00:46:01.840 point of
00:46:02.520 hydroxychloroquine
00:46:03.660 is that you
00:46:04.780 would see a
00:46:05.280 big difference
00:46:05.840 after five
00:46:06.660 days of
00:46:07.160 using it
00:46:07.700 or it
00:46:08.780 doesn't
00:46:09.040 work
00:46:09.440 isn't that
00:46:10.560 the claim
00:46:11.020 the claim
00:46:12.220 is that
00:46:12.600 you'll see
00:46:13.020 a difference
00:46:13.420 in five
00:46:13.900 days
00:46:14.200 or it
00:46:14.500 doesn't
00:46:14.740 work
00:46:15.040 how many
00:46:16.160 five day
00:46:16.780 periods
00:46:17.180 have
00:46:17.400 passed
00:46:17.900 since we
00:46:19.600 first
00:46:19.900 heard the
00:46:20.280 hydroxychloroquine
00:46:21.180 might be
00:46:22.180 worth looking
00:46:22.740 into
00:46:23.040 quite a few
00:46:24.660 right
00:46:24.960 how long
00:46:26.940 does it
00:46:27.220 take to
00:46:27.620 put together
00:46:28.240 a study
00:46:28.820 I don't
00:46:30.620 know
00:46:30.840 I think
00:46:31.660 the problem
00:46:32.080 is trying
00:46:32.800 to put
00:46:33.120 together
00:46:33.420 a study
00:46:33.840 in which
00:46:34.120 you have
00:46:34.340 a good
00:46:34.600 control
00:46:35.140 group
00:46:35.580 because
00:46:36.500 you have
00:46:36.860 to take
00:46:37.140 people
00:46:37.580 who
00:46:38.480 willingly
00:46:40.100 don't
00:46:40.940 or at
00:46:41.680 least take
00:46:42.000 the chance
00:46:42.480 that they
00:46:42.740 get the
00:46:43.060 placebo
00:46:43.440 when they
00:46:45.060 have a
00:46:45.360 strong
00:46:45.600 suspicion
00:46:46.060 that the
00:46:46.460 hydroxychloroquine
00:46:47.340 might work
00:46:47.940 so how do you
00:46:49.460 get so many
00:46:49.980 people to
00:46:51.020 take the
00:46:51.400 placebo
00:46:51.800 or at least
00:46:52.540 take a 50%
00:46:53.800 chance of
00:46:54.340 getting a
00:46:54.720 placebo
00:46:55.100 if they
00:46:56.100 don't have
00:46:56.580 to
00:46:56.740 maybe it's
00:46:57.940 just hard
00:46:58.280 to make
00:46:58.560 a study
00:46:59.020 but do
00:47:00.660 you need
00:47:00.940 a study
00:47:01.360 or could
00:47:03.460 you just
00:47:03.820 say
00:47:04.140 all right
00:47:05.320 my hospital
00:47:07.500 treated
00:47:08.080 400 people
00:47:09.460 200 of
00:47:11.900 them got
00:47:12.200 hydroxychloroquine
00:47:13.300 and none
00:47:14.660 of them
00:47:14.920 got on
00:47:15.180 ventilators
00:47:15.840 but the
00:47:16.820 other group
00:47:17.420 even though
00:47:18.780 it's not a
00:47:19.180 controlled
00:47:19.460 study
00:47:19.900 there were
00:47:20.800 200 of
00:47:21.460 them
00:47:21.640 and 8
00:47:22.280 of them
00:47:22.600 ended up
00:47:23.060 on ventilators
00:47:23.780 wouldn't you
00:47:24.940 feel like
00:47:25.400 that would
00:47:25.740 tell you
00:47:26.060 a lot
00:47:26.480 don't you
00:47:28.280 feel like
00:47:28.780 if you
00:47:29.100 saw
00:47:29.400 the results
00:47:30.840 of 400
00:47:31.580 people
00:47:32.060 in hospital
00:47:33.920 settings
00:47:34.420 and you
00:47:35.360 knew that
00:47:35.720 200 of
00:47:36.420 them were
00:47:36.700 treated
00:47:37.040 kind of
00:47:37.480 early
00:47:37.800 with
00:47:38.060 hydroxychloroquine
00:47:39.020 and the
00:47:39.320 other 200
00:47:39.800 never got
00:47:40.500 it
00:47:40.980 don't you
00:47:44.020 think that
00:47:44.400 would tell
00:47:44.720 you
00:47:44.920 because if
00:47:45.820 you can't
00:47:46.360 tell with
00:47:46.940 if you can't
00:47:48.160 tell the
00:47:48.460 difference
00:47:48.880 with just
00:47:50.500 200 or
00:47:51.580 400 people
00:47:52.460 it's probably
00:47:53.600 not working
00:47:54.220 and if it
00:47:56.960 didn't work
00:47:57.480 it would
00:47:58.480 not be
00:47:59.000 validating
00:47:59.740 the claims
00:48:00.740 that you
00:48:01.080 see
00:48:01.320 anecdotally
00:48:02.020 in other
00:48:02.760 words
00:48:02.980 the claims
00:48:03.720 that people
00:48:04.140 are making
00:48:04.600 just
00:48:05.220 first person
00:48:06.460 hey I
00:48:06.940 took this
00:48:07.340 drug
00:48:07.600 and I
00:48:07.820 got better
00:48:08.240 the claim
00:48:09.380 they all
00:48:09.820 make
00:48:10.240 is that
00:48:11.340 it's obvious
00:48:11.960 it made
00:48:12.360 a difference
00:48:12.880 it was fast
00:48:14.260 it was obvious
00:48:15.000 and the people
00:48:16.620 saying it
00:48:17.320 are quite
00:48:18.460 convinced
00:48:18.980 it wasn't
00:48:19.460 going to
00:48:19.680 happen
00:48:19.880 on its
00:48:20.220 own
00:48:20.460 because
00:48:21.260 taking
00:48:21.700 the drug
00:48:22.160 sort of
00:48:22.640 marked
00:48:23.000 it was
00:48:24.160 too
00:48:24.360 conveniently
00:48:24.880 marked
00:48:25.260 the time
00:48:25.680 that their
00:48:26.020 improvements
00:48:26.440 started
00:48:26.940 after worsening
00:48:28.080 for 10
00:48:28.560 days
00:48:28.820 in a row
00:48:29.160 but that
00:48:30.540 doesn't
00:48:30.840 mean
00:48:31.000 they're
00:48:31.220 right
00:48:31.600 could be
00:48:33.020 that the
00:48:33.360 people
00:48:33.600 who don't
00:48:34.000 get better
00:48:34.420 don't go
00:48:34.860 on TV
00:48:35.300 and make
00:48:36.040 social media
00:48:36.660 posts
00:48:37.080 so we just
00:48:37.980 don't hear
00:48:38.380 from them
00:48:38.980 don't rule
00:48:40.580 that out
00:48:41.560 somebody says
00:48:45.940 they think
00:48:46.400 Dr. Drew
00:48:46.940 said the only
00:48:47.420 way to get
00:48:47.900 hydroxychloroquine
00:48:49.020 was to enroll
00:48:49.980 in a study
00:48:50.660 that's what
00:48:51.840 they try
00:48:52.380 to make
00:48:52.760 you do
00:48:53.160 I believe
00:48:55.640 they try
00:48:56.460 to get
00:48:56.840 you into
00:48:57.200 a study
00:48:57.700 if you
00:48:58.840 ask for
00:48:59.320 it
00:48:59.460 or you're
00:48:59.800 a candidate
00:49:00.160 for it
00:49:00.740 but
00:49:01.560 you don't
00:49:02.480 have to
00:49:02.820 be in
00:49:03.040 the study
00:49:03.440 and you
00:49:04.420 can make
00:49:04.820 a case
00:49:05.340 that you're
00:49:06.020 not a good
00:49:06.420 candidate
00:49:06.800 for the
00:49:07.220 study
00:49:07.500 for example
00:49:08.740 I have
00:49:10.140 asthma
00:49:10.440 so I would
00:49:11.680 say to my
00:49:12.100 doctor
00:49:12.400 yes thank
00:49:13.180 you for
00:49:13.520 offering me
00:49:14.060 the study
00:49:14.560 but I
00:49:15.660 have asthma
00:49:16.120 and if
00:49:17.640 there's any
00:49:18.200 chance that
00:49:18.780 the hydroxychloroquine
00:49:19.700 works I don't
00:49:20.720 want to get
00:49:21.120 into a study
00:49:21.820 where I have
00:49:22.300 a 50% chance
00:49:23.420 of getting
00:49:23.720 a placebo
00:49:24.280 so in my
00:49:25.780 case
00:49:26.160 doctor
00:49:26.740 you and I
00:49:28.160 as we sit
00:49:28.700 here in this
00:49:29.200 room together
00:49:29.800 and calculate
00:49:30.920 the odds
00:49:31.720 don't you think
00:49:33.180 you should just
00:49:33.740 give it to me
00:49:34.400 because I've
00:49:35.580 got asthma
00:49:36.060 and you don't
00:49:37.480 want me to
00:49:38.360 get it
00:49:38.780 and not have
00:49:40.000 access to the
00:49:40.540 drugs
00:49:40.720 so you can
00:49:41.960 talk your
00:49:42.500 doctor into
00:49:43.460 it
00:49:43.760 but you've
00:49:44.600 got to be
00:49:44.880 able to make
00:49:45.300 your case
00:49:45.920 and your case
00:49:46.880 has to include
00:49:47.920 there's a reason
00:49:49.200 I should not
00:49:49.740 be in the study
00:49:50.460 part of the
00:49:51.220 reason could
00:49:51.580 be you
00:49:53.040 can't comply
00:49:53.760 with the
00:49:54.140 study
00:49:54.500 you're too
00:49:55.580 busy
00:49:55.940 you've got
00:49:56.340 kids
00:49:56.660 I don't
00:49:56.900 know
00:49:57.020 you probably
00:49:57.400 come up
00:49:57.900 with lots
00:49:58.240 of reasons
00:49:58.580 you couldn't
00:49:59.000 be in the
00:49:59.340 study
00:49:59.620 so there
00:50:01.020 is a way
00:50:01.340 to get
00:50:01.560 it
00:50:01.780 all right
00:50:02.740 I think
00:50:04.680 that's just
00:50:05.180 about
00:50:05.560 somebody says
00:50:07.700 look for
00:50:08.080 Trump to
00:50:08.460 announce
00:50:08.800 some study
00:50:09.660 results
00:50:10.300 today
00:50:11.000 you know
00:50:12.220 until we
00:50:12.740 have the
00:50:13.040 study
00:50:13.320 results
00:50:13.840 that are
00:50:14.240 an actual
00:50:14.740 controlled
00:50:15.500 study
00:50:16.480 with a group
00:50:17.880 that didn't
00:50:18.380 get it at
00:50:18.880 all
00:50:19.180 and are
00:50:21.020 scientifically
00:50:21.540 selected to
00:50:22.560 be you know
00:50:23.100 representative
00:50:23.640 and all
00:50:24.380 that
00:50:24.600 until we
00:50:25.340 have that
00:50:25.700 we're not
00:50:26.080 going to
00:50:26.340 know
00:50:27.040 but the
00:50:29.040 smaller studies
00:50:29.860 that don't
00:50:30.360 have a proper
00:50:30.980 control group
00:50:31.840 I think if
00:50:33.800 the drug
00:50:34.200 works
00:50:34.780 it's just
00:50:35.580 going to be
00:50:35.920 obvious
00:50:36.380 and if it
00:50:37.340 doesn't work
00:50:38.060 probably that
00:50:40.200 would be
00:50:40.440 obvious too
00:50:40.980 yeah there's
00:50:47.640 financial
00:50:48.120 disinterest
00:50:48.940 in the
00:50:50.960 pharma
00:50:51.220 companies
00:50:51.720 because it's
00:50:52.300 not patented
00:50:53.240 but I would
00:50:54.680 still think
00:50:55.160 that the
00:50:55.520 companies that
00:50:56.120 make it
00:50:56.540 are pretty
00:50:57.060 darn happy
00:50:57.720 this year
00:50:59.140 they're selling
00:50:59.700 a lot of
00:51:00.060 it
00:51:00.760 how did
00:51:05.180 they ask
00:51:05.660 you to be
00:51:05.960 in the
00:51:06.180 study
00:51:06.460 if you're
00:51:06.880 on a
00:51:07.140 ventilator
00:51:07.680 I don't
00:51:09.700 think they
00:51:10.120 asked those
00:51:10.560 people
00:51:10.860 I would
00:51:12.480 not want
00:51:12.860 to be
00:51:13.100 Scott's
00:51:13.580 doctor
00:51:13.940 oh you're
00:51:14.540 so right
00:51:15.060 you're
00:51:16.560 so right
00:51:17.060 in my
00:51:19.060 lifetime
00:51:19.500 I can
00:51:20.180 tell you
00:51:20.500 that I
00:51:20.820 have
00:51:20.980 overridden
00:51:22.900 the advice
00:51:23.580 of my
00:51:23.980 doctor
00:51:24.320 quite a
00:51:24.920 few
00:51:25.040 times
00:51:25.480 but
00:51:26.800 in
00:51:27.360 conversation
00:51:27.940 with
00:51:28.240 them
00:51:28.400 not
00:51:28.860 just
00:51:29.400 by
00:51:29.620 myself
00:51:30.080 went
00:51:30.340 home
00:51:30.600 and
00:51:30.740 ignored
00:51:31.060 my
00:51:31.280 doctor
00:51:31.580 but
00:51:32.580 there
00:51:32.800 have
00:51:32.920 been
00:51:33.060 quite
00:51:33.300 a
00:51:33.440 few
00:51:33.560 times
00:51:33.860 if
00:51:34.020 you
00:51:34.120 look
00:51:34.280 at
00:51:34.360 my
00:51:34.480 entire
00:51:34.760 lifetime
00:51:35.280 where
00:51:36.440 a
00:51:36.600 doctor
00:51:36.880 said
00:51:37.300 try
00:51:37.660 X
00:51:38.140 and I
00:51:39.180 would
00:51:39.320 say
00:51:39.560 well I
00:51:40.020 hear what
00:51:40.260 you're
00:51:40.400 saying
00:51:40.640 but
00:51:41.960 considering
00:51:42.580 Y
00:51:43.400 Z
00:51:43.780 and
00:51:44.680 Q
00:51:45.020 maybe
00:51:46.560 we
00:51:46.800 could
00:51:46.920 try
00:51:47.100 something
00:51:47.440 else
00:51:47.760 and
00:51:48.100 I
00:51:48.220 can
00:51:48.360 tell
00:51:48.540 you
00:51:48.660 that
00:51:48.820 I've
00:51:49.080 talked
00:51:49.840 to my
00:51:50.140 doctor
00:51:50.500 a number
00:51:52.120 of
00:51:52.300 times
00:51:52.640 and
00:51:53.320 to
00:51:53.440 say
00:51:53.620 yeah
00:51:53.900 when
00:51:54.300 you
00:51:54.400 put
00:51:54.560 it
00:51:54.660 that
00:51:54.840 way
00:51:55.040 all
00:51:56.100 things
00:51:56.380 considered
00:51:56.900 let's
00:51:57.800 give
00:51:58.240 it
00:51:58.380 a
00:51:58.700 try
00:51:59.080 your
00:52:00.120 way
00:52:00.360 in
00:52:00.500 fact
00:52:00.680 I
00:52:00.840 just
00:52:01.000 recently
00:52:01.360 dealing
00:52:03.100 with
00:52:03.340 my
00:52:03.640 sinuses
00:52:04.200 there
00:52:05.620 were
00:52:05.840 two
00:52:06.200 paths
00:52:06.680 my
00:52:07.620 ENT
00:52:08.200 said
00:52:08.580 let's
00:52:08.880 take
00:52:09.100 this
00:52:09.320 one
00:52:09.560 and
00:52:10.320 I
00:52:10.480 said
00:52:10.700 you
00:52:10.860 know
00:52:11.100 there's
00:52:11.980 one
00:52:12.320 other
00:52:12.560 thing
00:52:12.820 we
00:52:13.000 haven't
00:52:13.300 tried
00:52:13.700 that
00:52:14.840 is
00:52:15.020 low
00:52:15.280 risk
00:52:15.740 probably
00:52:17.300 won't
00:52:17.560 work
00:52:17.920 but
00:52:19.200 we
00:52:19.340 haven't
00:52:19.560 tried
00:52:19.760 it
00:52:19.860 yet
00:52:20.120 and
00:52:20.480 it's
00:52:20.700 easier
00:52:21.100 than
00:52:21.320 surgery
00:52:21.720 and
00:52:23.000 my
00:52:23.180 ENT
00:52:23.540 said
00:52:23.780 you
00:52:23.920 know
00:52:24.140 good
00:52:25.080 point
00:52:25.380 I
00:52:26.240 don't
00:52:26.480 think
00:52:26.740 this
00:52:26.980 new
00:52:27.180 thing
00:52:27.360 will
00:52:27.540 work
00:52:27.900 90%
00:52:29.600 chance
00:52:29.920 it
00:52:30.060 won't
00:52:30.380 but
00:52:30.980 you're
00:52:31.180 right
00:52:31.500 if
00:52:32.160 there's
00:52:32.380 a
00:52:32.500 10%
00:52:32.920 chance
00:52:33.420 that
00:52:34.320 it
00:52:34.460 could
00:52:34.600 avoid
00:52:34.880 surgery
00:52:35.400 yeah
00:52:36.600 go ahead
00:52:37.400 and try
00:52:37.620 it
00:52:37.740 if
00:52:37.860 you're
00:52:38.220 willing
00:52:38.480 to
00:52:38.680 take
00:52:38.880 a
00:52:39.000 few
00:52:39.100 more
00:52:39.300 months
00:52:39.640 and
00:52:40.500 try
00:52:40.760 it
00:52:41.020 go
00:52:41.620 ahead
00:52:41.820 that's
00:52:42.180 a good
00:52:42.700 risk
00:52:43.000 reward
00:52:43.400 now
00:52:43.920 that's
00:52:44.120 perfect
00:52:44.500 example
00:52:45.100 of
00:52:46.500 where
00:52:46.720 working
00:52:47.120 with
00:52:47.380 my
00:52:47.560 doctor
00:52:47.900 and
00:52:48.140 really
00:52:48.360 just
00:52:48.580 talking
00:52:48.860 about
00:52:49.100 the
00:52:49.300 odds
00:52:49.780 and
00:52:50.340 also
00:52:50.620 what
00:52:50.880 I'm
00:52:51.080 willing
00:52:51.360 to
00:52:51.580 do
00:52:51.820 which
00:52:52.080 is
00:52:52.220 the
00:52:52.380 part
00:52:52.580 the
00:52:52.820 doctor
00:52:53.260 can't
00:52:53.680 know
00:52:53.920 the
00:52:54.640 doctor
00:52:54.920 doesn't
00:52:55.220 know
00:52:55.360 what's
00:52:55.560 in
00:52:55.660 your
00:52:55.780 head
00:52:56.140 and
00:52:56.300 that
00:52:56.440 matters
00:52:56.780 too
00:52:57.060 right
00:52:57.360 so
00:52:58.760 yes
00:52:59.060 I'm
00:52:59.400 quite
00:52:59.640 a
00:52:59.780 number
00:52:59.980 of
00:53:00.140 times
00:53:00.480 including
00:53:00.880 recently
00:53:01.320 I
00:53:01.600 have
00:53:01.760 over
00:53:02.160 I
00:53:03.020 have
00:53:03.180 overridden
00:53:03.780 my
00:53:04.020 doctor's
00:53:04.500 recommendation
00:53:05.080 and
00:53:07.080 then
00:53:07.280 my
00:53:07.480 doctor
00:53:07.840 agreed
00:53:08.480 with
00:53:08.680 me
00:53:08.920 you
00:53:09.240 know
00:53:09.340 once
00:53:09.520 I
00:53:09.640 made
00:53:09.780 my
00:53:09.960 case
00:53:10.200 it's
00:53:10.380 a
00:53:10.480 very
00:53:10.600 normal
00:53:10.920 thing
00:53:11.220 likewise
00:53:12.040 with
00:53:12.420 lawyers
00:53:12.860 I've
00:53:14.240 dealt
00:53:14.940 with
00:53:15.140 a lot
00:53:15.700 of
00:53:15.820 lawyers
00:53:16.120 in
00:53:16.300 my
00:53:16.420 life
00:53:16.680 trust
00:53:17.060 me
00:53:17.260 being
00:53:17.460 a
00:53:17.640 cartoonist
00:53:18.280 means
00:53:18.660 a lot
00:53:19.280 of
00:53:19.400 lawyers
00:53:19.760 for
00:53:20.420 every
00:53:20.780 different
00:53:21.220 element
00:53:21.740 of
00:53:22.060 work
00:53:22.980 and
00:53:24.060 how
00:53:24.480 often
00:53:24.780 if
00:53:25.020 I
00:53:25.400 let's
00:53:28.080 say
00:53:28.220 objected
00:53:28.800 to
00:53:29.020 the
00:53:29.300 advice
00:53:29.700 of
00:53:29.840 a
00:53:29.980 lawyer
00:53:30.220 and
00:53:31.100 said
00:53:31.340 I
00:53:31.520 hear
00:53:31.680 what
00:53:31.800 you
00:53:31.900 saying
00:53:32.180 but
00:53:33.560 have
00:53:33.820 you
00:53:33.960 considered
00:53:34.360 this
00:53:34.640 argument
00:53:35.000 and
00:53:35.780 then
00:53:35.920 I
00:53:36.060 talk
00:53:36.420 my
00:53:36.660 lawyer
00:53:36.960 out
00:53:37.320 of
00:53:37.560 whatever
00:53:37.980 the
00:53:38.200 original
00:53:38.580 recommendation
00:53:39.260 was
00:53:39.700 how
00:53:39.860 often
00:53:40.100 does
00:53:40.280 that
00:53:40.460 happen
00:53:40.740 a
00:53:41.840 lot
00:53:42.180 I
00:53:43.260 don't
00:53:43.400 even
00:53:43.560 know
00:53:43.700 how
00:53:43.840 many
00:53:44.000 times
00:53:44.360 it's
00:53:45.060 actually
00:53:45.400 common
00:53:45.920 it's
00:53:46.860 quite
00:53:47.080 common
00:53:47.440 sometimes
00:53:48.020 you
00:53:48.320 just
00:53:48.580 have
00:53:49.660 some
00:53:50.120 insight
00:53:50.820 about
00:53:51.140 how
00:53:51.380 you
00:53:51.660 respond
00:53:52.180 to
00:53:52.380 things
00:53:52.680 that
00:53:52.880 a
00:53:53.280 lawyer
00:53:53.480 can't
00:53:53.860 have
00:53:54.160 sometimes
00:53:54.980 your
00:53:55.500 priorities
00:53:56.540 are
00:53:56.820 different
00:53:57.080 your
00:53:57.340 risk
00:53:57.640 reward
00:53:58.080 ratio
00:53:58.520 is
00:53:58.800 different
00:53:59.100 your
00:53:59.400 tolerance
00:53:59.860 for
00:54:00.100 risk
00:54:00.420 your
00:54:01.040 intuition
00:54:01.520 about
00:54:01.820 something
00:54:02.300 your
00:54:02.640 social
00:54:03.520 preference
00:54:03.980 for
00:54:04.180 something
00:54:04.560 so
00:54:05.180 yeah
00:54:05.420 I
00:54:05.940 talk
00:54:06.460 my
00:54:06.740 lawyers
00:54:07.140 out
00:54:07.340 of
00:54:07.440 stuff
00:54:07.620 all
00:54:07.780 the
00:54:07.920 time
00:54:08.220 has
00:54:09.040 it
00:54:09.160 ever
00:54:09.360 bit
00:54:09.560 me
00:54:09.780 in
00:54:09.940 the
00:54:10.040 ass
00:54:10.360 not
00:54:11.140 once
00:54:11.500 I
00:54:12.500 talk
00:54:12.700 my
00:54:12.880 doctors
00:54:13.320 out

00:54:15.300 in
00:54:15.380 the
00:54:15.460 ass
00:54:15.660 not
00:54:16.040 once
