Here's an very interesting interview done by Peter Attia with two other doctors/researchers who are looking into Covid. I actually left with a feeling of hope that we will find our way out of this mess sooner than later. The good news is that we have learned a lot about how to treat and manage this disease. The bad news is the messaging that goes out to the public needs a healthy dose of improvement. Of course, we are still learning more so some or all of 'the science' could change.

Their comments on "what we can test is what we manage" and the massive testing of all the pro athletes were very interesting.
A word of warning: any position (including extreme ones) on Covid, masks, vaccines, social controls, etc. can be supported by taking comments out of context. You really have to listen with an open mind as they discuss the various issues. I like the fact that upfront Attia sets up a rule about making sure they are clear on what are verifiable facts and what are opinions. And the three doctors seem to take pains to do that. Thankfully, unlike many of Attia's interviews, it's NOT loaded with medical jargon that will confuse most laypeople.
Oh, did I mention its over 2.5 hours long? I listened to it in chunks as I went about my daily chores. The show notes list the time points where certain issues are discussed. I found that a nice way to divide this monster up into chewable bites.
Thanks for letting us know about this podcast. I’ll delve in it today while I shop. I’ll wear full N95 when I go out for awhile.
DH listens to podcasts at 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 speed. I tried it and it just makes me anxious!
