I ramble about yardwork and presidential mute buttons.

Jerome Glenn and his team at the Millennium Project, a global futures think tank in Washington D.C. were asked by the American Red Cross to create COVID-19 Scenarios. The three richly detailed Covid Scenarios of the United States to January 2022 are:

• Scenario 1: America Endures (baseline, mix of good and bad developments)
• Scenario 2: Depression, Hubris, and Discord​ (plausible worse case)
• ​Scenario 3: Things go Right! (plausible best case)

Listen as my father-in-law schools me on how the U.S. could look two years from now. These scenarios factor in U.S. health/medical variables, U.S. socio-economic variables, global socio-economic variables, global health/medical variables, and the State of the Pandemic Index - an assessment of variables that indicate the course of the pandemic for an integrated index. We also take a detour down an Artificial Intelligence rabbit hole.

For the real nerds:
