First off, we're sending best wishes to our listeners. Hopefully, everyone is getting by with the onset of the coronavirus. We have a long way to go to get back to some semblance of normalcy, so take care of yourselves.

As always, Haven Pell's writings can be found here:

PUNDIFICATOR.

In this podcast, Haven and I take on the coronavirus' various impacts on society.

John Branch — normally a sports writer, but with no sports to write, wrote an interesting article on the "late adopters" to the public health crisis that has changed the world:

Deniers and Disbelievers: "If I Get Carona, I Get Carona"

Between these two examples, we try to take the politics out of it and make sense of where "normal life" fits in the pandemic world now . . . and later when the world assimilates the new virus reality into everyday life.

Some of the activities affected in the virus' progression: rock climbing, Mardi Gras, strip club/lap dance, cherry blossoms, self-quarantine

The NYC experience (social distancing): Trader Joeâ€s vs Whole Foods and the recognition of crowding dangers for older people  

DC walk- the parks getting used- packed, in fact!

"Essential travel": Essential to all . . . or to me? 

Remote work: Positive developments to come from this experience

Remote work and the hope that technology (ex. Zoom) for the concept improve. 

The difference between “in person” and “on camera†skills 

Media presences . . . is the online / on camera experience going to be even more important in regular jobs going forward if we are all teleconferencing?

Collegiate environment . . . What does college look like now that it's online. Are we going to be missing the personal interactions on campus?

How are we absorbing media on this? Is a little the right amount?

Should we hear from anyone other than professionals and analysts? We certainly like to hear from doctors on issues of "Public health!"

STAY SAFE, EVERYONE!
