Azeem Azhar speaks with Yale Professor of Social and Natural Science, Internal Medicine & Biomedical Engineering, Nicholas Christakis, whose latest book “Apollo’s Arrow,” lays out the three phases of the world’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. Christakis argues that each phase will be fraught with risk and will leave an enduring impact on our society, economy, and politics.

They also discuss:

How a successful vaccine will influence global geopolitics as a soft power.

How to deal with the pandemic on individual and community levels.

How the “Swiss Cheese model” of accident causation can help policymakers build resilient prevention and response systems.

Further resources:
