Podcasts about Vernor

On today's Daily Detroit, we start with big news for Detroit City FC fans and the future of Corktown. Jer and Norris recap their visit to the new Detroit City FC welcome center on Vernor and break down fresh details on AlumiFi Field, the club's planned new stadium next to Michigan Central. The opening date has officially slid to the 2028 season, and the guys explain why that's actually a smarter move given the complexity of the build, site cleanup, and surrounding development. They get into the latest renderings, from 14 traditional suites, 10 container suites, and pitch‑side boxes, to supporter sections staying proudly at midfield and design touches that lean into DCFC's identity and Detroit's skyline. Then, it's a look at a shifting nightlife landscape. The closure of UFO Bar's current concept in Corktown, the announced end of Spot Lite on the east side, and the original Fowling Warehouse in Hamtramck all spark a conversation about drinking habits, the economics of bars and clubs, and whether Detroit needs to "rewrite the contract" for going out. That leads into a bigger question: Should Detroit have a 24‑hour party district, and if so, where would it go?  Finally, we get into the CPA Building at Michigan and 14th hitting the market for $2.4 million, and what a smart redevelopment across from Michigan Central could look like.

The Outer Realm welcomes Friend and Special Guest, Author Eric Vernor Date: March 26th, 2026 EP: 698 TOPIC: Eric will be talking about one of his numerous books " Vampire Cult Killer: The Real Story of Rod Ferrell" About the book: -Join the author of The World History of Vampires and Haunted Asylums (E.R. Vernor) on a journey into the mind of one of the country's youngest killers to be put on Death Row. Vampire Cult Killer is the true story of a young man whose life was spared by the Florida Courts. On November 25th, 1996, Rod Ferrell and Scott Anderson, two teenagers from Murray, Kentucky, broke into the home of Heather Wendorf. Ferrell then bludgeoned her middle-aged parents to death. Ferrell and Anderson then escaped with three teenage girls, one being Heather Wendorf herself. In 2010, the author was contacted by Sondra ‘Star' Gibson, Rod Ferrell's mother, who wanted the public to know her son's full story through never seen before original art, poems, and handwritten letters of the infamous killer. Reporters presented the public with stories of Sondra participating with her son in cult rituals and sacrifices. Vampire Cult Killer seeks to unravel the real story of Rod Ferrell. This book goes deeper than any other, and it contains the full transcripts of court cases, interviews, and photos of the killer from early childhood to present day. Also is included the full court cases, and the follow up examination of his case when the notorious killer went back to court petitioning for his release in 2019, when mental health experts testified during the resentencing hearings that vampire cult leader Rod Ferrell has changed.

For a lot of us, Michigan’s iconic pop brands are tied into special memories from childhood. Maybe your mom would always give you Vernor’s when you had a tummyache. Or you can still remember the Faygo ads that played during your Saturday morning cartoons. Or you have fond memories of the Towne Club pop shop. We talked to one Michigander about the role that pop played in her childhood--and why she still loves those nostalgic flavors today.

Back after a year on hiatus! Noah Smith & Brad DeLong Record the Podcast They, at Least, Would Like to Listen to!; Aspirationally Bi-Weekly (Meaning Every Other Week); Aspirationally an hour...Sokrates: The people find some protector, whom they nurse into greatness… but then changes, as indicated in the old fable of the Temple of Zeus of the Wolf, of how he who tastes human flesh mixed up with the flesh of other sacrificial victims will turn into a wolf. Even so, the protector, once metaphorically tasting human blood, slaying some and exiling others, within or without the law, hinting at the cancellation of debts and the fair redistribution of lands, must then either perish or become a werewolf—that is, a tyrant…Key Insights:* We are back! After a year-long hiatus.* Hexapodia is a metaphor: a small, strange insight (like alien shrubs riding on six-wheeled carts as involuntary agents of the Great Evil) can provide key insight into useful and valuable Truth.* The Democratic Party is run by 27-year-old staffers, not geriatric figurehead politicians–this shapes messaging and internal dynamics.* The American progressive movement did not possess enough assibayah to keep from fracturing over Gaza War, especially among younger Democratic staffers influenced by social media discourse.* The left's adoption of “indigeneity” rhetoric undermined its ability to be a coalition in the face of tensions generated by the Hamas-Israel terrorism campaigns.* Trump's election with more popular votes than Harris destroyed Democratic belief that they had a right to oppose root-and-branch.* The belief that Democrats are the “natural majority” of the U.S. electorate is now false: nonvoters lean Trump, not so much Republican, and definitely not Democratic.* Trump's populism is not economic redistribution, but a claim to provide a redistribution of status and respect to those who feel culturally disrespected.* The Supreme Court's response to Trumpian overreach is likely to be very cautious—Barrett and Roberts are desperately eager to avoid any confrontation with Trump they might wind up losing, and Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Thomas will go the extra mile—they are Republicans who are judges, not judges who are Republicans, except in some extremis that may not even exist.* Trump's administration pursues selective repression through the state, rather than stochastic terrorism.* The economic consequence of the second Trump presidency look akin to another Brexit costing the U.S. ~10% of its prosperity, or more.* Social media, especially Twitter a status warfare machine–amplifying trolls and extremists, suppressing nuance.* People addicted to toxic media diets but lack the tools or education to curate better information environments.* SubStack and newsletters may become part of a healthier information ecosystem, a partial antidote to the toxic amplification of the Shouting Class on social media.* Human history is marked by information revolutions (e.g., printing press), each producing destructive upheaval before stabilization: destruction, that may or may not be creative.* As in the 1930s, we are entering a period where institutions–not mobs–become the threat, even as social unrest diminishes.* The dangers are real,and recognizing and adapting to new communication realities is key to preserving democracy.* Plato's Republic warned of democracy decaying into tyranny, especially when mob-like populism finds a strongman champion who then, having (metaphorically) fed on human flesh, becomes a (metaphorical) werewolf.* Enlightenment values relied more than we knew on print-based gatekeeping and slow communication; digital communication bypasses these safeguards.* The cycle of crisis and recovery is consistent through history: societies fall into holes they later dig out of, usually at great cost—or they don't.* &, as always, HEXAPODIA!References:* Brown, Chad P. 2025. “Trump's trade war timeline 2.0: An up-to-date guide”.

In today's episode, Noah Smith and Brad DeLong tackle pressing topics such as the potential for a 'China Shock 2', the effectiveness of missile defense systems, and the shifting role of economists since the Great Recession. They also explore the nuances of economic theory, policy implementation, and real-world outcomes, particularly in a fast-paced information age.  --

Noah Smith & Brad DeLong Record the Podcast We, at Least, Would Like to Listen to!; Aspirationally Bi-Weekly (Meaning Every Other Week); Aspirationally an hour...Key Insights:* A number of years ago, Brad DeLong said that it was time to “pass the baton” to “The Left”. How's that working out for us? #actually, he had said that we had passed the baton—that the absence since January 21, 2009 (or possibly January 21, 1993) of Republican negotiating partners meant that sensible centrism produced nothing—that Barack Obama had proposed John McCain's climate policy, Mitt Romney's health care policy, George H.W. Bush's entitlement-and-budget policy, Ronald Reagan's tax policy, and Gerald Ford's foreign policy, and had gotten precisely zero Republican votes for any of those. Therefore the only choice we had was to pass the baton to the Left in the hopes that they could energize the base and the disaffected to win majorities, and then offer strong support where there policies were better than the status quo.* But my major initial take was that the major task was to resurrect a sensible center-right, in which I wished the Niskanen Center good luck, but was not optimistic.* But everyone heard “Brad DeLong says neoliberals should ‘bend the knee'” to THE LEFT…* That is interesting…* Should neoliberals bend the knee?* How has the left been doing with its baton? Not well at all, for anyone who defines “THE LEFT” to consist of former Bernie staffers who regard Elizabeth Warren as a neoliberal sellout.* It has, once again, never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity. * But the conditions that required passing the baton to the left—High Mitch McConnellism, Republican unity saying “NO!” to everything by every Republican to make the Black president look like a weak failure—no longer hold.* And the principal adversaries to good governance and a bright American future are reactionary theocrats, neofascist grifters, and true-believer right-neoliberals to the right and cost-disease socialists to the left.* But in the middle, made up of ex-left-neoliberals and nearly all other right-thinking Americans, are we supply-side progressives.* Instead, there is a governing coalition, in the Senate, composed of 70 senators, 50 Democrats and 20 Republicans, from Bernie Sanders through J.D. Vance—a supply-side progressive or supply-side Americanist coalition.* It is therefore time to snatch the baton back, and give it to the supply-side progressivist policy-politics core, and then grab as many people to run alongside that core in the race as we possibly can.* The Niskanen Center cannot be at the heart of the supply-side progressivist agenda because they are incrementalists and critics by nature.* The principal business of “Leftist” activists over the past five years really has been and continues to be to try to grease the skids for the return of neofascism—just as the principal business of Ralph Nader and Naderites in 2000 was to grease the skids for upper-class tax cuts, catastrophic financial deregulation, and forever wars.* &, as always, HEXAPODIA!References:* Beauchamp, Zack. 2019.

Excessive reliance in the deep structures of his brain on the now 60-year-old Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy: Lord and Peasant in the Making of the Modern World.* Why did Brad go wrong?

Noah Smith & Brad DeLong Record the Podcast We, at Least, Would Like to Listen to!; Aspirationally Bi-Weekly (Meaning Every Other Week); Aspirationally an hour... Key Insights:* Vernor Vinge was one of the GOAT scifi authors—and he is also one of the most underrated…* That a squishy social-democratic leftie like Brad DeLong can derive so much insight and pleasure from the work of a hard-right libertarian like Vernor Vinge—for whom the New Deal Order is very close to being the Big Bad, and who sees FDR as a cousin of Sauron—creates great hope that there is a deeper layer of thought to which we all can contribute. The fact that Brad DeLong and Vernor Vinge get excited in similar ways is a universal force around which we can unite, and add to them H.G. Wells and Jules Verne…* The five things written by Vernor Vinge that Brad and Noah find most interesting are: * “The Coming Technological Singularity: How to Survive in the Post-Human Era”,* A Fire Upon the Deep,* A Deepness in the Sky, * “True Names”, & * Rainbows End…* We do not buy the Supermind Singularity: The world is not a game of chess in which the entity that can think 40 moves ahead will always easily trounce the entity that can only think 10 moves ahead, for time and chance happeneth to us all…* We do not buy the Supermind Singularity: Almost all human intelligence is not in individual brains, but is in the network. We are very smart as an anthology intelligence. Whatever true A.I.s we create will be much smarter when they are tied into the network as useful and cooperative parts of it—rather than sinister gods out on their own plotting plots…* We do not buy the Supermind Singularity: mind and technology amplification is as likely to be logistic as exponential or super-exponential…* The ultimate innovation in a society of abundance is the ability to control human personality and desire—and now we are back to the Buddha, and to Zeno, Kleanthes, Khrisippus, and Marcus Aurelius…* With the unfortunate asterisk that mind-hacking via messages and chemicals mean that such an ultimate innovation can be used for evil as well as good…* Addiction effects from gambling are not, in fact, a good analogy for destructive effects of social media as a malevolent attention-hacker…* Cyberspace is not what William Gibson and Neil Stephenson predicted.But it rhymed.

Less than a month after two of the Cardinals' leading young position players started opening day side by side in outfield, bringing a glimpse of the future into the present, Jordan Walker and Victor Scott II are reunited this weekend at Class AAA Memphis. Early season offensive struggles have led to both outfieldres being optioned to the Cardinals' highest affiliate. Since the minor-leagues are in the headlines, who better to swing by for visit on the Best Podcast in Baseball than Post-Dispatch baseball writer Daniel Guerrero, who covers the minors daily for StlToday.com and the Post-Dispatch. He details what the messaging and assignment was for Walker in his return to Memphis and offers some insight into what the Cardinals can still see in their future. For Scott, it will be his first time at the Triple-A level. He leapfrogged Memphis to debut in the majors, just as Walker did a year ago. That's not the only event that seems to be repeating. At almost the exact same point in the season that he was demoted a year ago, Walker returned to Class AAA with some of the same assignments. As in 2023, he was given a few days in the big-leagues to work on adjustments in the cage. That was prelude to going to Triple-A, where, again this year, he'll spend several days in the hitting lab before moving to the lineup. The Cardinals believe both outfielders are going to be impact contributors in the near future. Their more pressing need is production -- both to ignite some confidence at their April struggles, but also to see a return on the work they've been doing with their swings away from the game. Walker returns to Memphis with a .155/.239/.259 slash line, and he's got a 50% groundball rate to go with a 4.8% line-drive rate. He's not getting the lift out of his swing that he did to close last season with a .276/.342/.445 slash line and hint at what was ahead for his second season. Guerrero discusses with BPIB host and Post-Dispatch colleague Derrick Goold what specific adjustments the Cardinals are looking for Walker to make with his swing and Scott to make with his offensive approach. Guerrero also offers three prospects to watch, including a real-time update on Sem Robberse's latest blitz through a Class AAA opponent. He's been joined at Triple-A by four members of the Cardinals' opening day roster. The churn is real -- and it's just beginning. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold. Next stop Detroit and some Vernor's ginger ale.

Science fiction legend Vernor Vinge inspired the title of this podcast - and his influence extends far beyond fiction. His novella "True Names" gave readers a first taste of the metaverse, and in a 1993 talk for NASA, Vinge described a 'technological singularity' - a time when computers get so good so fast that they 'run away' from human control. It's a scenario that haunts every big company working in AI today, possibly an element in the behind-the-scenes dynamic that got Sam Altman (briefly) fired as CEO of ChatGPT creator OpenAI in November 2023. This 2019 interview - one of his last, before his passing on 21 March 2024 - explores Vinge's thinking about 'The Singularity' - and asks what happens when a goldfish tries to talk to a human...Over a billion seconds ago, sci-fi legend Vernor Vinge conceived of a “Technological Singularity”, when our machines outthink us. Should we worry? Be sure to read Vernor's 1993 paper, “The Coming Technological Singularity: How to Survive in the Post-Human Era” – it's linked here.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Vernor Vinge, who coined the term "Technological Singularity", dies at 79, published by Kaj Sotala on March 21, 2024 on LessWrong. On Wednesday, author David Brin announced that Vernor Vinge, sci-fi author, former professor, and father of the technological singularity concept, died from Parkinson's disease at age 79 on March 20, 2024, in La Jolla, California. The announcement came in a Facebook tribute where Brin wrote about Vinge's deep love for science and writing. [...] As a sci-fi author, Vinge won Hugo Awards for his novels A Fire Upon the Deep (1993), A Deepness in the Sky (2000), and Rainbows End (2007). He also won Hugos for novellas Fast Times at Fairmont High (2002) and The Cookie Monster (2004). As Mike Glyer's File 770 blog notes, Vinge's novella True Names (1981) is frequency cited as the first presentation of an in-depth look at the concept of "cyberspace." Vinge first coined the term "singularity" as related to technology in 1983, borrowed from the concept of a singularity in spacetime in physics. When discussing the creation of intelligences far greater than our own in an 1983 op-ed in OMNI magazine, Vinge wrote, "When this happens, human history will have reached a kind of singularity, an intellectual transition as impenetrable as the knotted space-time at the center of a black hole, and the world will pass far beyond our understanding." In 1993, he expanded on the idea in an essay titled The Coming Technological Singularity: How to Survive in the Post-Human Era. The singularity concept postulates that AI will soon become superintelligent, far surpassing humans in capability and bringing the human-dominated era to a close. While the concept of a tech singularity sometimes inspires negativity and fear, Vinge remained optimistic about humanity's technological future, as Brin notes in his tribute: "Accused by some of a grievous sin - that of 'optimism' - Vernor gave us peerless legends that often depicted human success at overcoming problems... those right in front of us... while posing new ones! New dilemmas that may lie just ahead of our myopic gaze. He would often ask: 'What if we succeed? Do you think that will be the end of it?'" Vinge's concept heavily influenced futurist Ray Kurzweil, who has written about the singularity several times at length in books such as The Singularity Is Near in 2005. In a 2005 interview with the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology website, Kurzweil said, "Vernor Vinge has had some really key insights into the singularity very early on. There were others, such as John Von Neuman, who talked about a singular event occurring, because he had the idea of technological acceleration and singularity half a century ago. But it was simply a casual comment, and Vinge worked out some of the key ideas." Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

In which Noah Smith & Brad DeLong wish Daron Acemoglu & Simon Johnson had written a very different book than their "Power & Progress" is...Key Insights:* Acemoglu & Johnson should have written a very different book—one about how some technologies complement and others substitute for labor, and it is very important to maximize the first.* Neither Noah Smith nor Brad DeLong is at all comfortable with “power” as a category in economics other than as the ability to credibly threaten to commit violence or theft.* Acemoglu & Robinson's Why Nations Fail is a truly great book. Power & Progress is not.* We should not confuse James Robinson with Simon Johnson* Billionaires running oligopolistic tech firms are not trustworthy stewards of the future of our economy.* The IBM 701 Defense Calculator of 1953 is rather cool. * The lurkers agree with Noah Smith in the DMs.* The power loom caused technological unemployment because the rest of the value chain—cotton growing, spinning, and garment-making—was rigid, hence the elasticity of demand for the transformation thread → cloth was low.* We need more examples of bad technologies than the cotton gin and the Roman Empire.References: * Acemoglu, Daron, & Simon Johnson. 2023.

Producer Confidence & Consumer Confidence (in the Economy), & Our Confidence (in Our Analyses): Noah Smith & Brad DeLong Record the Podcast We, at Least, Would Like to Listen to!; Aspirationally Bi-Weekly (Meaning Every Other Week); Aspirationally an hour...Key Insights:* The disjunction between all the economic data having been very good and very strong for the past year and tons of reports and commentary about how people “weren't feeling it” is mostly the result of the fact that things work with lags.* There are other factors: partisan politics, and the insistence of Republicans that they must not only vote but also at least say that they agree with their tribe.* There are other factors: the old journalistic adage that “what bleeds, leads”, exponentiated by the effects of our current short attention-span clickbait culture.* There are other factors: journalists, commentators, and the rest of the shouting class are depressed as their industries collapse around them, and somewhat of their situation leaks through.* There are other factors: while people think they personally are doing well, they do remember stories of others not doing wellm and are concerned.* But mostly it was just that things operate with lags: that was the major source of the “vibecession” gloom-and-doom which was at sharp variance with the actual economic dataflow.* We are not the modelers: we are, rather, the agents in the model.* The metanarrative is always harder than the narrative: trying to answer “why don't people say they think the economy is good?” is very hard to answer in a non-stupid way, and most of us are much better off just saying: “hey, guys, the economy is really good!”* It is good to be long reality—as long as you are not so leveraged that your position gets sold out from under you before the market marks itself to reality,.* Lags gotta lag.* And, finally, hexapodia!References:* Burn-Murdoch, John. 2023. “Should we believe Americans when they say the economy is bad?” Financial Times, December 1 .* Cummings, Ryan, & Neale Mahoney. 2023. “Asymmetric amplification and the consumer sentiment gap”.

& a start-of-the-semester academic-email-addresses-only paid-subscription sale:Key Insights:* Young whippersnappers Oks and Williams are to be commended for being young, and whippersnapperish—but we disagree with them.* Contrary to what Brad thought, the fertility transition in Africa really has resumed.* The problem of how you provide mass employment for people is different than the problem of how you increase your economy's productivity by building knowledge capital, infrastructure, and other forms of human capital. * It is important to keep those straight and distinguished in your mind.* Commodity exporting should be viewed as a distinct development strategy from industrialization, and indeed from everything else. * Sometime during the plague, Brad DeLong really did turn into a grumpy old man yelling at clouds. It's time that he should own that. * People should take another look at the pace of South and Southeast Asian economic development. It is a very different world than it was 25 years ago.* Thus if you are basing your view on memories of or on books written based on memories of how things were 25 years ago, you are going to get it wrong.

Key Insights:* Finally, at long last, over the next two generations the tide is likely to be flowing strongly toward near-universal global development...* The fear was that dehyperglobalization would rob poorer countries of their ability to develop the export comparative advantages to support the manufacturing engineering clusters they need for learning by doing, establishing a good educational system, and converging to global North standards of living...* This fear appears to have been very overblown...* Optimism about future income growth and globalization is warranted because India has more people in it than Africa: the Asia Circle from Japan to Pakistan and down to Indonesia and up to Mongolia is and always has been half the human race.

Brenda Vernor, Personal Assistant to Enzo FerrariWhen we reflect on history, no matter the subject, it is easy to focus on the central figures and forget, that to simply operate on a daily basis there were key people who helped them function. People so close to the source that they are truly sole witness to the making of that history. The supporting role in the movie of their life so to speak.One such person is Brenda Vernor, who for many years was the legendary Enzo Ferrari's personal assistant, based at the factory in Modena.I have known Brenda for many years thanks to her friendship with my father, Derek, since he was at Ferrari in 1970 racing in Formula 1.Which is why, when the opportunity came to spend a morning with Brenda at her friend's house in West Palm Beach after the Ferrari Cavallino event, I thought it a great idea to take Dad with me as a surprise!Brenda is 90 now but sharp as a knife and still faithfully loyal to ‘The old man' but what a lovely experience, talking to someone that was right there as the Ferrari brand took off under the stern but brilliant leadership of Enzo himself.Thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode, as the Brenda's of this world won't be with us forever and their firsthand stories are too intimate and special to pass undocumented!The lady who worked with Ferrari!Enjoy.JB

Esta semana en Voces por una Causa, Julia Navarro conversa con Vernor Muñoz, autor del último Informe Rojo de Entreculturas llamado ‘Educar es incluir', con ocasión del Día Internacional de las Personas con Discapacidad. Para este importante día, que tendrá lugar el próximo 3 de diciembre, su testimonio nos acerca a las cifras de discapacidad y de la exclusión educativa por ella en el mundo, poniendo también la mirada en algunos focos regionales y estatales. En este capítulo de nuestro podcast, Vernor relata que, en un contexto de gran cambio y transformación como el actual, es necesario “mover la educación de los marcos patriarcales, segregadores y excluyentes hacia culturas de derechos humanos donde las personas puedan realmente estar en igualdad de condiciones”. El ex relator también profundiza en las dificultades que tiene el sistema educativo actual para alcanzar una inclusión plena, señalando “los prejuicios y los estigmas” como los obstáculos estructurales más importantes para su consecución.

As if hearing about some of the world's scariest places can cause nightmares alone, my guest, author E.R. Vernor, aka Corvis Nocturnum gave us a double whammy of scary things to ponder with some spooky tales from his book Haunted Asylums as well. The book goes behind the barbed wire and explores the many sanitariums or asylums that were intended to help the mentally ill but only contributed to their afflictions. The book covers the history behind the infamous Riverside patient Mary Mallon, also known as Typhoid Mary, the gothic and foreboding buildings at Danvers State Hospital in Danvers, Massachusetts, which became both the inspiration and the filming location for the movie Session 9, and Oregon State Hospital, where Jack Nicholson's famous One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was filmed. Today, these abandoned state institutions have been converted into other uses or remain in shambles, but the ghosts of their pasts linger. The author explores these reputedly haunted asylums and others all the world over. Join us...if you dare.

An hour well spent with the Rev. Eric Vernor from Ft Wayne Indiana's Church of Satan.

Hop in for a ride with local history columnist Gary Flinn to the halcyon days of flint.  Revisit the contributions of oft-overlooked David Buick, the inventive and invaluable flint auto pioneer who lacked the business savvy to become an auto legend.  Travel back to the original Kewpee Burger and wash it down with an old Vernor’s ginger ale before catching a show at Capitol Theatre.   In the shadow of Flint's success as an industrial hub and the tragedy that is the water crisis that came to a head in 2014, the fascinating past of Flint has been largely forgotten. Local author Gary Flinn showcases the obscure and surprising elements of the Vehicle City's past, such as local Civil War hero Franklin Thompson who was actually Sarah Edmonds in disguise; the city's most prolific inventor, Lloyd Copeman, created the electric stove, flexible ice cube tray and automatic toaster; and even Thread Lake's Lakeside Amusement Park that offered seaplane rides and a giant roller coaster partly built over the water before closing in 1931. Flinn offers the reader the often-overlooked but fascinating history of Flint, including how the 2014 water crisis was a half century in the making. Gary Flinn has written extensively about the glory days of Flint.  His focus on Flint's business history, architectural history and development as a city makes for a fascinating interview.  If you would like to learn more about Flint and Michigan history you can find his books on Amazon: Amazon: Remembering Flint, Michigan: Stories from the Vehicle City (American Chronicles) Paperback – October 4, 2010 Hidden History of Flint Paperback – July 3, 2017 https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-History-Flint-Gary-Flinn/dp/1625858418/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/145-4211473-3074930?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1625858418&pd_rd_r=e44b9ef1-1161-4c3f-b6ba-219790203b7c&pd_rd_w=FhxYQ&pd_rd_wg=KWWCq&pf_rd_p=4e3f7fc3-00c8-46a6-a4db-8457e6319578&pf_rd_r=8NFZPJE9XTZJDYA00G5Z&psc=1&refRID=8NFZPJE9XTZJDYA00G5Z --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiofreeflint/message

Every now and then, we get a little serious… and this is one of those times. This episode isn’t really served justice by just listening to it, given the number of graphs, charts, and tables involved during the conversation.  We encourage you to hit our Facebook page at  https://www.facebook.com/ITinTheD/ and catch the video at https://www.facebook.com/ITinTheD/videos/168007971161634/ in order to really get the most out of this episode.  We’re joined by Fred Brown, an infectious disease expert with incredible credentials.  We were lucky enough that he gave us well over an hour and a half chatting about the COVID-19 outbreak… where we are, where here really is, and what you can reasonably expect moving forward…     And we are good to go. What is up quarantine land? This is the one and only it and the D show where all the way to episode three 45 we got a phenomenal, we were very lucky to have a phenomenal guest this week. Mr Fred Brown, he’s an infectious disease expert. I feel like this is every now and then we get a little serious and I feel like just just, just to keep us on our toes. We have to get a little serious now and again. Oh, and by the way, happy birthday Dave. Thank you. I appreciate it man. Um, but yeah, uh, you made fire when ready and we’re looking forward to this week show. Hey, what’s going on? How’s everybody doing? I think our guests are still asleep with our, this is the one and only it in the D show. We made it all the way to episode three 45 do the math, Dave. So that’s Bob’s wrong plus 329 to close it. And the D that come to his favor, give us a, like on the socials and subscribe to us everywhere. Buying podcasts are sold yet again, this is usually the point where we tell people about our upcoming events and we don’t have any, uh, and, and the reason we don’t have any upcoming events is why we have our guest on the show tonight. Uh, so yeah. Uh, I guess without further ado, let’s go ahead and dive in and, and talk about God. Uh, I guess the only topic that’s dominating conversation these days. Oh, you got yourself muted. Yeah. Oh, you got yourself muted, Fred red, you’re on mute. There we go. There you go. I apologize. I’m off and running. Well, thanks for having me, Dave. I appreciate it. Of course. No, I appreciate you taking the time to come in. Absolutely. It’s a pleasure. Well, you know, I, and I want to get the word out about, you know, what to expect a little bit with this. I, I’ve been in this game since 1984 we, uh, I actually helped develop the first, uh, AIDS back, uh, the first AIDS test, uh, with a company called Centocor. And we were lucky enough to find the good development first definitive test for AIDS. And from there, that was a 1986. And then from there I helped develop six or seven more vaccines effective for your guests. They have children, they, most of them have been vaccinated by, by my vaccines in the 1990s that we developed. Uh, and I’ve been involved with probably seven or eight pandemics. We have, we have an epidemic vote every two years. People don’t really realize it because they’re able to call them now, but you know, they’re reasonably frequent. And so if you think about Ebola coming around twice, and we had Zika virus scare, which I was involved with malaria I’ve been involved with and failed it three times now. So it’s, it’s a, it’s an interesting game. And, um, you know, what, welcome to my world. I’m looking forward to talking a little bit about it. I want to talk about, go a little bit maybe in the background, like I gave a talk to, uh, the Harvard fellows were interested in, in what was happening and so they asked me to give a presentation and I got a little bit of that here just so people have a little bit of background before we talk about what’s going on in Michigan. Okay. So right now I guess I’m, you know, my full set of credentials is that I’ve been in drug discovery, drug development and vaccine development for, uh, 35 years now. I’ve developed, uh, 27 major drugs, uh, six vaccines, uh, 13 major diagnostic products. I was head of Roche’s portfolio management, a team that was, I was global head of that for several years. And you’ll hear a little bit about my experience managing the H five N one epidemic that went into Europe and we just were able to contain that. There’ll be, and I’ve created a tool that I think it’d be helpful for the audience to eventually they can look at and see what we’re doing. So what you’re saying is that you’re not some guy in a mask that I found at Meyer to just, you know, hop on the show. I’m working with Johns Hopkins, so if you guys are looking at that, sadly I helped them. I helped do this. They should put up this, you know this, this clock just so we can watch the virus come up and then come down again at, that’d be fun. All the time you say no, you’re one rung below a politician on their knowledge base on infectious disease. That’s what he’s, he’s, he’s, he’s, he’s somewhere underneath a Facebook certified epidemiology expert and a and somewhere above. Fred, let me keep it up. Let me give you some, I just got a quick question. You know, I’ve lived, you know, we joke around like I call our 2009 vacation to Mexico, the swine flu tour because the swine flu broke and then we didn’t know we should be flying home every two years. Something’s going on. Bird flu, SARS, you know, you kind of listed off a few of them. Also be bold on all that. Like why, what’s different now? Like, why, why this one? Because like again, I don’t mind doing all this stuff. The, the government, everybody has us doing it wasn’t that, but like I walked into this going, Hey, it’s nothing. I’ve been through this crap. And you know, it’s not, it’s something, yeah. You know, we, we sorta got caught with this one. Vernor’s and Robitussin is not curing this. That’s, that’s what I, yeah. You know, people keep comparing a little bit to the flu and I’ll go into live with why that isn’t the case. Um, so with this one, you know, it’s funny, we do, we do, uh, we actually do prep work. So when you’re up in Asia, we do a lot of prep work and in fact it’s called prepare. And every two years we go through a couple of scenarios. And what was interesting was the U S was part of that in the early two thousands we went through the prep work and we had actually, we did so badly that we decided that we, that we should develop a plan for it. And in 2008, nine we put together a plan, part of bushes administration then moved into a balanced nutrition. We thought it was a pretty good plan, but we then it was sort of, well you know, it’s not that important but we’ll, we’ll, we’ll wait on it. But what we found out was there a couple of scenarios where we do really, really badly and this particular virus is one of those scenarios. It’s human to human transmission. That’s the first problem. So let’s, you know, we’ve got a lot of population. People are close together. They traveled together for a global day. So anything that any small population can move in doing an open travel to a and really cause pandemics, that’s the first problem. The second problem is mode of transmission. This thing is really infectious. And so as you can start to infect people from, you know, just breathing and coughing, uh, and, and the, and the molecules on the aerosol stay on the air for enough time, up to, up to up to three hours. Actually. Unfortunately that that really is a bad scenario because, you know, if you think about the AIDS virus, it’s sexually transmitted. You think about Zika was uh, had a vector of the mosquito and we weren’t able to stop it but vector. But here it’s just out there. And so it’s a, and unfortunately, you know, it’s got a, it’s got a high kill. It’s got a reasonably high kill rate, sort of moderate for fires. It was a hierarchal rate. Equity you would probably die out because it would lose hosts. But this one is just sort of in the, in the perfect area where you kill enough people that are able to survive. Um, and uh, and then we’ve got the transmission uh, problem. And the transmission problems is a big one cause because we have a lot of asymptomatic carriers in this space. So viruses are getting smarter is what you’re saying. Great. That’s one. And this guy is hard, great, great vaccines, but we still don’t have any back. You know, let’s think about the common pole. We’ve had it for a long time. He was trying to stop it for a long time. And we, it’s one of the grownup viruses. We don’t, we don’t have much against these guys. So we’ve, we’ve got a little bit of a wait. So when actually in the end there’s, I guess there’s a good starting point, cause I’ve heard people use those terms interchangeably. They say Corona virus, they say covert, they say COBIT 19. They say like, so from, from a science perspective, w w lay that hierarchy out. Absolutely. So this is called the scientific game is SARS co V to a, so it’s a Sargent [inaudible], uh, virus. Uh, and we’ve had, uh, two, uh, epidemics of SARS and virus. One was his first, the first one was SARS. And then we had murders. I was middle East virus, middle East had us set a very high kill rate and luckily died out in middle East. Stars almost got over here, you know, made it all the way through Asia and then all the way to Canada. And then all of a sudden, just sorta, you know, Peter DOE, this one is not petering out. So this is our second Sarz Cove. Uh, and it’s Covin 19 because it was founded and 20, 19, uh, we’ve actually have about seven. It’s not, it’s not the 19th iteration of it. Like you see all the Facebook memes of that’s, yeah, that’s, yeah. Oh, so you know, it’s a, it’s a tough one. And I thought one of the things I could, I should show people is, is, is something about, it’s important to understand why we’re having so much trouble and what, what, what’s, what’s funny about, about trying to manage, uh, viruses and that is they have exponential growth. I didn’t know if your audience really understood exponential growth. I can give you a first step sense of it. And then I wanted to show you a slide or two that actually showed what really happened and if it made sense for sure. Absolutely. So like, so I mean we’ve, well, I mean, and that’s the thing we used to think we had a very it centric crowd. Um, but then we’ve learned, we have a lot of folks that aren’t in it, that listened to us simulate from an it perspective. We’re familiar with, you know, computer viruses and that kind of stuff and dealing with that. But I mean, I would say assume nothing and start with layman terminology and, and go from there. Okay. Well, you know, um, so what’s it about? The computer crowd is they understand networking and network. We’re working, you know, it’s just think about in fact working and how important it is. It works as end times and nine as one, right? We guys know, you guys know, uh, exponential growth once you hit the network, uh, to give you a sense of this network, uh, it took us about four months to kill a million people and then we killed another million people in 12 days. That’s exponential growth. So let me explain why that’s so hard to manage. Yeah, that’s a, that’s sort of a wild, wild little statistic. Well, yeah, no, those numbers really kind of hit you like a sledgehammer in the forehead. Yeah. Yeah. So once this baby starts getting going and I just show on the slide now, I’ll tell you what, what happened in China and why they were all thought, uh, so here what happened in China, this is, this is actually what happened. Um, you know, and I know a lot of those guys over there and they said, you know, when we first started off, you know, we, we found a couple of, of infected people and we even had a death and we had on a couple of packs of fake people. So at day five for example, if you, if you see, you know, uh, influence, uh, you’d expect to have one about one and a half people being infected and out with COBIT. What happens? So, you know, it has a 1.25 infection rate. In 30 days you’ll have the first case, uh, all the way through. You do the math and to get 15 cases pretty manageable. We got 15 cases. Okay. Now Colby, it has a slightly higher, R actually has about a double with size. Art has a 2.37. I just use this used use 2.5 to make the math easy. Um, but here we have [inaudible] and if you let the infection go for 30 days with Kobe, but think you got influenza, you don’t have your 15 or 30 15 cases to work with. You’ve got a 406 cases. And if you wait another day or two, you’ve got thousands. So that gives you a sense of just how fast you have to act. And unfortunately, we’re used to sort of sitting back, let me look, let me figure this out. Or linear, you know, but this guy works fast. Once it gets started, it goes fast. So what’s happened in China is that they decided that Hey, you know, I think it’s, I don’t think it’s influenced. They started seeing this curve coming up. So we said, let’s stop, let’s, let’s, let’s, you know, put in socialists and then distancing. Now let’s, let’s take a, let’s take this seriously. If they had, so at about the 12 they stopped. They said, no, we’re going to take it seriously. We’re going to go after it. If they had waited, if they actually made the decision a week earlier, they would have only had passed the cases to worry about if they waited a week longer, they would have had nine times the cases to worry about. So you know, you can see that, that, that, that decision, you’ve got to really be able to hit it fast. So here’s, so here’s my thing, the analogy that I, cause again, a computer guy, the analogy I keep coming back to is I’m having so many flashbacks to Y two K right now because it’s, it’s so hard to prove the effect of a negative. Like everybody’s like, Oh that was such a joke. There was nothing really going to happen. No, no, no. You don’t understand how much work went into nothing happening. And so like, like, like I don’t think people understand math like this and, and just exactly how scary insane things can get so quickly. Like this. Yeah. These biological systems really go fast and we’re just not used to working with them in our day to day life. You know, working with, you know, one on one to one, solely making our decisions, thinking it over. And you know, it was funny, in Italy, a friend, a friend of mine is in charge of I and I, I ran Europe. And so, uh, for, for Roshan middle East right next to us and Switzerland. And so what I did, I dealt a lot with the Italian border, uh, covenant CDC up there. And I, I saw what was going on. Literally, I was kind of monitoring it and I said, you know, I called him up and said, you’ve got a serious issue. He said, yeah, I know, you know, I went, I went to the prime minister, I went and talked to the, the, to the head of head of Milan mayor, and they said, what are you talking about? Everybody’s great, you got everything in control. We’ve got a couple of deaths here and there, but you know, it’s good. And besides, we’re coming up with, you know, weekend and so they let it go an extra week and that’s what happened. And there’s your, there’s your number on what an extra week means. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So was it funny, you know? Uh, so I am a consultant, you know, and, and I had lots of clients and I was working along and all of a sudden and middle of February I told all my guys, you know, I think this is going to be serious. I want to stop consulting now and it’s going to focus on this. Cause you know, we’ve just had a mistake in the CDC and so I think it’s better. I work on this just to focus on it. And so there’s all this on everything I’m doing right now is free. I want everyone to understand it so we can get out and get a good solution to it if everyone understands. Dude kudos. Wow. Thank you. That’s awesome. Well it’s a pleasure but, but, but what was interesting, all my clients said, Oh sure. You know, go ahead. You know it, we’ll be back in a couple of weeks. It will be fine. Yeah. So here I am, I got my gum, I fell self caught in the tar. Hey Fred, quick question. I don’t know if our jumping too far ahead or I really like the misinformation that’s thrown at us is, is obscene these days and I just want to like throw a couple of things at you because you hear like, Hey, the hospitals are packed. Then you hear they’re not. Then you hear the hospitals get paid more if they classify coven and then they get paid a lot more if they put them on ventilators and there’s like USA to even fact check. That is true, but it’s still, it seems weird and then you have things like they’re not classifying anything else. Anything else is a death. So regular flu deaths are stopping and their classmate, everything is cold man. I mean what, how do we make sense of of that? What, what? What’s real? What’s not? Yeah, so a couple of things. The first thing I would say is don’t trust anyone who’s really confident because they will. No one really knows. I’m in this game for a long time. I talk with, you know, experts in the field all the time. We have our own arguments about what we think death rates are. Prevalence rates are what we think the R’s are. You’ll get it. We’ll get into that a little while. But you know, um, so first of all, don’t trust anybody who isn’t, isn’t coming to you with real data. And the USA today reports are about, uh, you know, are, are accurate. You know, they, they have the, they have some of the data, but they sort of selected it, you know, and you can’t, you can’t do that fairly. Uh, so there are some, I’m sure there’s some incidences of people pushing the envelope in terms of, uh, quantification of diseases. But, but I’ll tell you, most of the people I know of, first of all, several of them have died. Sadly, most people I know who were on the front lines are working 12, 15, 16 hours a day. And these aren’t normal work days. You know, these, these are really high stress work days where you’re, you’re dealing with death or you’re trying to help people save people on the last minute of their lives. You’ve gotta be really on all the time. And so, you know, my heart goes out to them and I, they’re there, they’re working super hard and, and uh, so if there are a couple mistakes made here and there, I, I, you know, I give it to them. What happens is, interestingly, what we, what we’re finding in COBIT is that it’s not if you’re in control and some of this is luck and so on, but it’s great management. But if you’re in control, we have the capacity in our hospital systems to actually manage it. Uh, if you’re, if what happens though, if you have a sudden outbreak and you’ll see, you know, you should make a slight decision like New York did, of keeping the school open an extra couple of days. Those of those small little decisions really start to overwhelm the hospital systems. And once the hospital systems get overwhelmed and they’re, you know, they’re already close to capacity anyway. They’re not used to dealing with COBIT is a brand new disease. We don’t know anything about it. So once those things happen, you, you, you have a very high fatality rate. If you have an overwhelmed hospital system, usually it’s two to 14 times higher than if the hospital’s system is, they’re just proceeding normally. And as it has it under control. That’s why we’re so concerned about whether you’re going to a peak or not. Because if you can’t control that peak and you start to, you know, start to really go over it, you have a really high fatality rate with this particular, uh, disease. If you’re able to manage it. It’s not too bad. It’s, it’s, you know, it’s, it’s, it’s doable. It’s, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s probably, we think it’s about five to seven times worse than the flu, but at least it isn’t 20 times worse than the flu, which you get with a and others and AIDS. So that, uh, so like my, my, my counsel is to, um, so first of all, scientific literature don’t believe anything. It doesn’t peer reviewed and, and, and, and if you really look at the methodologies used, because there’s a lot of stuff going out really fast to try to demonstrate something and prove something, usually those studies are fairly biased. They’re looking at, they want to prove their, they want to prove a point that they already believe is the case. And so the way, if you look at the experimental design, it’s flawed and peer review will kind of come through, take a look at it, you’ll absorb it all. But, um, unless, unless you’re talking to a real expert, a medical doctor, epidemiologist, a drug designer, um, I would, uh, I understand where they’re coming from and they have a, they have a job. They have a representation. Me, I don’t have that. I don’t have that wrinkles restrictions, but most of my colleagues do. And they keep pretty quiet. Well, that’s the thing I always talk about, you know, follow the money that’s going to tell you whether you’re done. It seems like there really isn’t an agenda though. It’s like some people are so dead set against this being a thing. There’s some people that are so set against this being a hoax. There’s some people, so like paranoid about like, and there’s no angle. Like, I don’t, you know what I mean? I guess it’s just they’re formulating their own hypothesis and then they’re kind of just running with it. No, I, I, I, so there are a couple of things. Um, first, I, I, I, uh, I hope that we have a solution pretty quickly, but what’s happening in the, in the news media unfortunately is, well, actually why don’t I show you that? Because I had to explain this to, I guess let’s, let’s start with the big one. Do you recommend a bleach injections and UV lights down your throat? No. The president, the president is under a lot of stress. He’s doing the best he can, I think under the circumstances, but he, you know, we all, we all screw up that, that was truth. But you know, I like the fact that he’s trying to at least, you know, put this on the table and talk to people about it. And I think that’s positive. Unfortunately. You know, whenever you’re on the, on the dude on TV, as much as that, I’m not on that much, that office, I don’t have any skills. You know, everyone’s bit, two hours a day. It can be a bit much. Yeah. But, uh, you know, here are the, uh, the situation is, you know, the question is, okay, how do we proceed? And the thing that bothers me when I, when I listened to the, you know, the news media, especially up until about the last few days, is most of the people think that, you know, we’re going to have a vaccine in 18 months and everything’s going to go back to normal. And even between that, you know, we’ll have a one quick peek and then we’ll be done and we’ll wait for the vaccine to come. And then everything. Uh, and you know, it is possible. You know, I don’t wanna, I don’t want to say that it’s impossible, but it certainly is. It’s not probable. What is more probable is, uh, and then the second option, of course, as you said, is let’s just let it run. You know, let, you know, we don’t think it’s that bad. We’re not really sure yet. But you know, if we just let it run through, people get hurt, immunity. And, you know, it looked like a Spanish flu. We’ll have a little bit of population, um, crunch and then we’ll be done. And I’ll go into that a little bit in a second. The last issue, the last, the last, uh, uh, option here is that this is going to be a long, hard slog and I think it’s going to be my experience is that are long, hard slogs. And so if you’re, if you’re managing a business out there and you think that everything’s going to be fine and may, uh, that’s fine. You know, you want to hope for the best, but, um, you want to prepare for something that’s going to last, my guess is at least 18 months of this kind of this, this kind of management of can we open up the economy, close down the economy, open up the company, and we’ll talk about how we can do that more effectively, uh, in a little bit. I have never wanted to rely on get lucky. Um, as, as a strategy. Let’s, let’s just be clear. Um, and, and actually I was, I was just talking about this, uh, the whole Philadelphia thing specifically with the Spanish flu back in 1918, um, you know, the, uh, the war bonds parade that they did that, you know, Hey, we’re going to go ahead and we’re going to relax the restrictions before everybody else says we should. Um, and we’re going to hold this giant ass parade. And within like five days, every bed in the 41 hospitals in the city were full and people were dying by the tens of thousands. I mean that, that’s insane. That’s what we want to avoid that because then you start to overwhelm everything and you get a, you and you have this. So I don’t think this is just a period of time. I think like the Spanish, I think this is going to be sort of an era. There’s going to be a new sort of sadly, sort of a period of time that we refer back to as the Kobe era. And I wish it was just a blip, but I don’t think it’s going to be a V-shape or anything like that. I think it’s going to take a little time. We wanted the wonder years. We got the covert years. That’s you terms of getting lucky. You, it’s your, your, your, your first, uh, first hope. Hope is, you know, right now, uh, I’ll tell you, I, I’ve developed six vaccines. It took me about an average of nine years each vaccine. Wow. Yeah. And actually I’m better than most. So usually about, it takes about 13 and a half years to develop a vaccine for novel virus. So, you know, on a normal platform, you know, proven, scaled, uh, ready to go with, uh, you know, uh, you start from scratch. You know, you’re talking about 13 years, 14 years. Right now we don’t have a single vaccine for a coronavirus. Everything we’ve tried for coat, you know, for, for, for MERS and SARS hasn’t worked. So, you know, right now there are actually over a hundred. This is, this is from, I gave this presentation, uh, in, uh, April, April 4th. So, uh, Harvard and they publish it, uh, in world record time because I thought it was important to get out. But basically, you know, we’ve got, the good thing is we’ve got a lot of shots on goal here, you know, so we can, we can afford to have a couple of losers and still, and we got the whole world working at half the vaccine candidates are actually in China. Um, but there right now, you know, we’re still kind of getting a sense of where we think we can, we can go and, you know, one of these days we can talk about, you know, my area really is drug discovery and vaccine discovery. We can go into a lot of depth and other those options. But today I just want to talk a little bit about the, the it implications for this. Um, and then there we got lots of, lots of committed resources. You’ll almost, almost every major vaccine manufacturer, the implicated is in this big time. Uh, uh, and you know, said they’re going to vote a billion dollars into it. But my guess if I had to say no, if we, you know, everyone’s saying 18 months to a vaccine, my guests of that occurring really is less than 20%. My base in my experience, we could get lucky, but we’re talking about everything working perfectly and you know, I know all the tricks and if we’re talking about, you know, ring trials and ways of, of, uh, of, of looking at, uh, master protocols and having, you know, uh, parallel manufacturing scale up while you’re doing phase three studies, doing phase one and doing what we’re talking about every possible trick in the book, even that I’m getting 19 months, uh, Mac, uh, you know, best. So my suggestion is we probably should have another plan just in case. And he got it. Guy will tell you to have a contingency plan. That’s totally good. That extra 20%. You have the contingency plan and then we’ll talk about disaster recovery. Well, right, that word disaster recovery. So true. So the other option is, you know, people say, look, you know, I’m a young guy, I’m strong. I’ve taught, I can, I can take this, just let it run right through. You know what, we’ll get a herd immunity, we’ll have some deaths. But overall, we’ll also have some deaths if we, um, if we don’t, if we, if we shut down the economy this way, there’s a lot of economic trouble. I mean, you know, what’d you call this David chickenpox parties when we were kids. Yeah. That’s, yeah. Yeah. This isn’t like when like when we were kids and our parents would get us all together cause w one neighborhood kid got chickenpox. All right. You’re having a sleep over at his house cause you’re going to get it and get it out of the way. That’s right. And you know, it might be when we know more about this that that isn’t a bad decision. But right now we don’t know nearly enough about this. My guess is that that’s probably never going to be a good decision, but don’t now that’s for sure. Don’t do that. Do not. Yeah. I believe we’ve seen studies showing that people who have been reinfected in South Korea, so getting it once is not a guarantee that you won’t get it again. Yup. You know, and that’s not something we don’t even know if the immunity is gonna you know, how long it is, how, how, how confirmed it is in terms of preventing disease. We don’t know those numbers yet. We think based on SARS and MERS and we’re gonna have a lot of, we’re going to get about a two year immunity. That’s going to be pretty good if based on a lot of different factors though it could be as little as 12 bucks or even less. Uh, first of all it’ll be, it could be slight or it could be full. We don’t know that either. But so, you know, as you said Randy, we there, there’s a lot of risk in terms of going after this cause it may not even work. So w we know it’s a big bet right now and I wouldn’t know a lot of, a lot of States are saying let’s just go for it. I don’t think we’re ready to do that yet. If I had, if I had my brothers, but I think we have a better way of managing this even short term. And don’t forget, I mean this thing is all in, right. If you start, if you start the herd effect, it’s really hard to stop, you know, cause Oh well let’s, let’s, let’s slow it down. We made a little miscalculation that has all sorts of side effects. You want to word we know about. It kills more people than we thought. And then you want to stop it. You really can’t. It has its own life. And so, uh, right now you don’t have any drugs and we don’t have any immunity and you don’t know much about this thing. So I would take it, you know, I would take it slow and careful and learn. Learn as much as you can about it before you have to really have a big fight for sure. Just jumping around with good. We’ve got a quick question. Have you seen the Dr. Erickson video on Kobe? Um, do you have any thoughts on it? I haven’t seen it. Not tell me about it. No. Someone just does somebody put it in the chat box on the video. So I don’t know. I don’t know. Dr. Erickson, uh, where’s he at? I don’t know. Do I have no, other than, I guess we’ll be Googling it after the show. I’ll take, I’m happy to take a look cause I, you know, there are a number of people who, so, so there are a number of studies where they’ve tried, they’re trying to do this in Germany. They’re trying to do this. There’s a guy named, uh, professor, uh, uh, clique, uh, S, S, C, H, R, E, K, C. K. And he’s, uh, he’s sort of in the middle of Germany. They had a lot of COBIT there and he won. He has a hundred thousand tests that he wants to do on a population that’s quite structured and he’s going to look at what he thinks the right numbers are to do, to do better policy judgments. And it’s gonna take him a few years. He’s already released the first part of that study and it’s pretty interesting. But as far from conclusive, there are a couple of guys at Stanford who are also advocating this. They’re saying, look, you know, we don’t think it’s that big. We’re not really sure, but we don’t think it’s that big. So why don’t we just, you know, block off a part of the United States and see what happens. And so, and so they’ve actually, so you know, submitted grants to do this since um, my guess is that there are countries that will do that, but probably, but hopefully not in United States cause that, that you’re, you’re really asking for, for potential things to go really wrong. This isn’t Sweden doing this right now. It’s interesting. You know, Sweden Sweden’s got Sweden is, is a, is is very interesting. They decided to um, go ahead and do this. They’re protecting their older people, which is smart cause the older people, you know, we look at the death rates and it just scares you. You know, if you’re my age, it just starts to take off. You know what you’re doing. You’re so, you’re almost, there’s almost no death semester compromised until you’re, you know, in their forties by the time you get to 50 now this isn’t, this is, this is population level. And I’m was saying as an individual you should go out and be, feel safe. There are a lot of instances where you’ve got so at a population level and the statistical level, it just, it really takes off with compromised patients and older patients. So what they’ve done is they said we’re going to shelter all the older patients but you don’t shelter all this, uh, of the children, all the compromised patients. And then we feel like we’re not that population dense. Uh, and we are going to do some social distancing, but we, you know, we’ll keep some of the things open and we’re just gonna you know, see what happens. Right now in Sweden, everything’s pretty, you know, Sweden sun 24 hours a day. They, they’re out on the islands and not really concentrated. Once they get into fall, I’m a bit worried that it might come back to get them because people are, are blocked in more. It’s November, the flu seasons up. And also I think I’m just concerned that we might have a, we might sit back and then they’re going to get, yeah, those were the, those were the two things that I heard that I, whatever that discussion about Sweden comes up. The two things that I keep reading and seeing are, um, the population density issue. Um, and then the, uh, they’ve got universal health care, so they don’t have quite as many issues with underlying conditions, conditions, and preexisting conditions like we do here. Yeah. They’re healthier than we are. No doubt about it. Yeah, that’s true. And they have quite a, uh, yeah. So I don’t, I, that’s why we’re all watching Sweden very carefully. The other, the other countries to watch actually are completely the opposite, completely opposite. As Taiwan, Taiwan, these Asian countries got ready because they had SARS. And so if you were in Taiwan, you go to a hotel and your own, and my friend had this happen, this phone shut off and by lost battery power and at seven 30 in the morning, 20 minutes after he lost battery power, they were police at his door in his hotel door and he was quarantined 14 days. So that’s, that’s the, and they can, they can run their diagnostics. It takes us about, takes us about, right now with panel demand takes, you know, five, six, seven, eight days, Korea, seven minutes. So, you know, you can get a sense of just how much faster you can react. If you could get that kind of a throughput. I keep saying, I keep joking and saying this episode of black mirror sucks, but I mean it’s, it sounds like that’s actually not that far. Yeah, no, no, it’s a, yeah, it’s a [inaudible]. So there are different strategies and it’s, we’re lucky because we’re a little bit after everybody else, we can sort of look and see what’s working, what’s not working. So you know, that that’s actually an advantage to us if learn from the other group. Yeah. And I, you know, I think that was one of the things that I re, you know, I remember, you know, there was the, uh, you know, the, all the YouTube videos that came out, um, the folks in Italy, you know, leaving a message for themselves 10 days ago, um, at basically as a warning to us that, Hey, this is where, you know, that’s where, that’s where you are right now. Here’s where we are right now. Open your eyes. And, and again, we were all kinda, uh, you know, like I said, I mean, I have no problem admitting that I was a little flippant about this when it first broke and, you know, the, you know, and it was, you know, an until thing, you know, until the numbers and the data really started coming out. It was like, Oh yes, we actually should take this seriously. Okay. Yeah, you know, my life is at that, that, that doomsday clock and every morning I wake up and it’s on. And you just see, you know, how many deaths have occurred in that, that, that that’s reality, you know. Uh, and luckily there’ve been some, some areas in the United States that it skip and, uh, you know, uh, that’s great. Celebrate, because next time it’s going to come around a few more times. Well, and for sure, I mean, and, and a lot of those areas, you know, it comes down to those things we were just talking about with Sweden. I mean, no, South Dakota and Wyoming are, aren’t seeing huge outbreaks. They don’t have the population density that in New York city, a Detroit, uh, Chicago and you know, do, so it was interesting, there was a study out of university of Texas, a dr Merida to that and she’s very well known, very great epidemiologists. And they said, if you’re, if you’re in a very rural area of the country and you see zero evidence of Kobe, there is a 9% chance you’re actually having an epidemic. And if you see one case of [inaudible], there’s a 50% chance of having the paper. I said, well, the math all works, but Holy moly, this is, this is quite a conclusion. Well, what’s your take on California opening up the beaches already extended and I was a little bit premature, but you know, well actually I’ll tell you, uh, I can see it in the data. Uh, you can, and I’ll show you that in a little bit. Uh, how accurate some of this data is. It’s quite interesting. You can actually start to see what they call reproductive rates of the, of the virus started back up in California, was in very good control up until this weekend. And now it’s out of control. And it, it happens that fast. You don’t notice it. You know, it’s, Oh, it had a nice time at the beach, but in two weeks we’re going to pay. Yeah, it’s too bad. Uh, they, they, they didn’t hold on quite long enough and you have to keep, you can go to the beach, but just maintain your social distance, you know, try to see that six feet and they weren’t, you know, and so I think that sadly, we’re going to see an, uh, we already see a blip and I’ll show you that in a second. So what I gave to the, what I gave to the business guys, I said, look, they’re going to call you forward is combustion. I love it. We don’t know. So if you don’t know what, let’s think about some scenarios and how likely they are. So I said, you know, there’s, you know, it could be like SARS reaches Canada and all of a sudden the whole thing is, you know, we don’t like it anymore. We’re done. We’re good, we’re good. We had our, we had our fund for duct. It’s um, it’s unlikely it’s going to happen, but you know, I gave it a 1% chance. The magic bullet is one here. All about, you know, everyone sort of counting on, right, 18 months we’re going to have a vaccine wrong. I’ll go back to normal. We have to pay for a little bit of economy in the meantime, but going to be wonderful. Um, I give that about a 20% chance. Uh, unfortunately I wish it was bigger than that. But if you talk to epidemiologists and you talk to guys who, you know, create vaccines that are going to tell you, you know, uh, the chances of success before you get to phase three or which all the way through a vaccine development. So, um, there are few cocktails. Good chance here. I think it will be likely that this is the most likely thing will I have happened. And worst thing that could happen is even though we’re working very hard on this, everyone’s active at it, we have all this new technology, it still takes about as long as it ever does before and that’s 10 years. So that was the sort of, and I give that about a 20% chance cause I think we got a lot of good stuff in life. Here’s what it looks like. You can see the different, the different options. Um, and um, so spontaneous combustion heard about magic bullet means we’ve got a vaccine in 18 months. Therapeutic cocktails. It’s much more like the way we manage AIDS. For example. You know, you can’t, you can’t, you don’t have a vaccine for AIDS, but you know, with a good cocktail and it’s tailored for you and you’re monitoring very carefully, you can really suppress the vaccine and sort of express the HIV virus enough that you really don’t have to have account anymore. You realize there are people’s heads exploding right now reading those years across the bottom of your chart. Right? I’m sorry, I want to be responsible for it. Yeah. Yeah. I’ll tell you, when people see this, they know this is sort of the timeframe we use to develop drugs. Normally, you know it’s like no, okay, in 15 years, so he’d always step one, step two, step three and he’s one phase two will be, we can do a lot to make things do things in parallel, but you also take a lot more risk when you do that. You have to kind of balance that and you can see it. Typically, you know, it takes about, you know, for lucky 10 years plus they develop a real full blown, okay, some plasma therapy. Okay, we’ve got some, I know repurpose drugs. Okay, we’ve got a couple of cocktails that really are designed just for this and eventually you get the vaccine. That’s usually what happens. So hopefully it will break that paradigm, but that’s sort of what it looks like. Could be more like a therapeutic cocktail. I have Newt and know Jerry the therapeutic cocktails. I’ll have to, I’ll have to bring my cup next time. I didn’t realize. So I think I, well, so what’s interesting is what I’ll talk, maybe we should just talk a little bit about where we’re at right now and then I’ll show you what we can do about it. And I won’t talk about drugs and vaccines. So I think a little bit further on it. We can always come back to that later if you want to, but maybe we should just talk about what’s going on now with absolutely all we have right now really is social distancing diagnostics. You know, we don’t have any backstop. So if this thing start going at us, all we can do is try to prevent it from hitting us and allowing it to reproduce. Um, and so if we know where it’s coming from with the diagnostics, we can then separate a way from those. Everybody who’s contagious from us and we can, we can reduce the viral load in the environment, which is great, but it costs a lot of money as we, as we see, you know, that’s a big unemployment and we have the drugs. Once you have a drug that that was what I was dealing with with Tamiflu and H five N one I had, I had a great diagnostics, I was working at Roche, we had 80% cupboard. We have about, we had about eight times the coverage that we do in the United States right now. Uh, I’m sorry, no 800 times covered. We have in United States right now for this particular area, and I had a, I had a backstop, I had Tamiflu. So, and even then, even though I had that much coverage and I had a drug at work, we know at one point we, we, you know, it was, it was close to going out of control even with that much support. And then when you get the vaccine of course, then you really have back to normal and then you can start to say, especially with now that’s if it’s a full vaccine and full, full immunity and everyone’s, you know, everyone gets a, enough of it probably about our case, it’ll have to be over 80% 85% of the population should be vaccinated. That point, you can really say, okay, I’m good. I can, I can avoid getting this, this disease and we can go back to normal. But that’s sort of where we at. And what’s interesting is once you’re in one of these boxes, when you’re in one of these boxes, there is not much you can do no to improve your performance, you know, to really fight your, your effectiveness is really limited when you jumped to the next area. So when we get our first drug, we’ll be able to do quite a bit more. And when you get a vaccine, then of course you can do an awful lot more. So, you know, once you’re, once you’re in this box and we’re in the social distancing box right now, you know, you’re sorta, you don’t have many options and uh, but you know, hopefully it’ll, uh, we’ll, we’ll move quickly to the next and the next. But this social listening is all about to and behavior and he has, you know, it’s highly variable. People really good about it. They’ll do it if you will, don’t feel good about it. They won’t. And, um, yeah. Well and honestly, I mean that’s, I, you know, we’ve had that conversation on here before. It’s, you know, the sad reality is, is we are forcing our government to legislate for the lowest common denominator. Well, and, and you know, it’s really unpopular to do something. It doesn’t look like it needs to being done. But as you know, the exponential growth, sometimes you’ve got to take a stand and say, wait, you know, if it goes off, I can’t control it and I’m going to have overwhelmed hospital. So that’s, that’s sort of the idea. And yeah, I think that’s the consensus too, is everybody thinks that the vaccine is going to come out in like two weeks, then we’re gonna go back to business. So everyone you talk to like, Oh yeah, vaccine. Maxine comes out like, yeah, five years, you know that. Yeah, that’s, that’s the, so dude, I’m gonna, I’m going to print out that one slide with all the years across the bottom. Like I’m going to print it out by the thousands. You just start leaving them in people’s mailbox. Well, there’s, this is the other, this is the other two slides you should probably show because yeah, the, you know, it’s, it’s great if it happens and it happens, but you count on it, you know, that’s the problem. And I, and w I don’t see many other alternatives out there other than people saying, I’m going to count on it. You know? And when you really talk to you who’ve done this before, they all say, well, you know, it’s probably going to be a little longer. Uh, so you have to watch those kinds of words. Right. I’m hopeful that, I think that maybe it’s possible that those are all true statements that people who I know are epidemiologists who know that it could be 15 years, but we’re hopeful that it could be. If you listen to how G he’ll say that all the time. I’m hopeful that, I agree. I hope that too. But you know, the realistic numbers anyway, you know, we’ve had this once and done, right? So China went through this, it went up, came back down. You can see that they had a peak peak case on February 10th in the slide and then, you know, by March and the March, they said, okay, we’ve got it now. And so we’re going to ease travel restriction. Now. That really wasn’t so much the case. They let people into restaurants, but if you want to eat in China, uh, initially when they let you out, they were, you know, and, and 95 masks and they had to take them off and put it in and everything he got was, you know, sanitized and plastic wrappings uh, you had to wear your plastic suit and just then to be waived when anybody across the way. I mean, we’re not talking about normal, we’re just talking about ability to do it. I don’t know for sure. Like, I think, uh, I, I just saw like Texas is planning on, uh, starting to open up May 1st, and they’re talking about, uh, restaurants have to be at 25% capacity max. Um, tables have to be at least 10 feet apart from each other. Um, so I mean it’s, it’s gonna be interesting to see how that plays out. How do they expect them to stay in business? I mean that’s the thing. You restrict them to that they have a hard enough time to stay in businesses. Yeah. When their phone. Yeah. I, I feel really bad for these guys cause it’s nothing they did wrong. It’s just that we got a situation where if you go to the restaurant tighter than that, I mean, we’ve done the study. We know, uh, you know, in a normal situation, a person whose problem is two things. Number one, the ventilation isn’t that good and all the restaurants and number two, you sit there for a long time and whenever those two things come together and you’re crowded, we’ve done studies that show that, you know, one person can infect at least seven or eight, even if you’re pretty far away from home. Um, and so that’s, uh, we have, we’ve, we’ve done those, those studies is sort of interesting to watch. Uh, there’s, you know, some at MIT, you can see that a study at any rate and then where they have the big outbreak areas. And Mohan, uh, then, uh, they waited an extra two and a half, three weeks. But even now, they’re still pretty careful about what they’re doing. So that’s sort of a site. And the big question you’d have to ask is, is it once and done, you know, are we all done that, you know, we, we, we, we, we paid the price. No, we should be over. Right. Well, we’ve done the studies and what we’ve looked at is Mars and MERS and SARS. Excuse me. And if you look at MERS and SARS in the wild, we would anticipate actually, and, and if you, and this is the, this is their closest relative COBIT, you anticipate actually, that we’re going to have to go through this probably six times next year and the next, yeah. So we’ve got, we’ve got once, but probably in the United States, we’ll probably go through it another six times. So we’re going to have to figure this out pretty quick. Um, and herd immunity won’t happen even after six. We’re only gonna we’ll only be about 37% given the Gil rate and the infection rates. Uh, yeah. Holy shit. Well, editing it, people don’t really talk about this very much because it doesn’t look very happy. Oh yeah, exactly. This is not shiny happy news. But I mean, so you know, and you kind of touched on this earlier, you know, I do, and Bob touched on this earlier. I think one of the biggest issues that everybody has is, you know, they want that flag in the ground, they want that answer. And science doesn’t work that way. Like that’s not how this is gonna play out. Like, cause nobody knows. And to your point, like if anybody sounds like they think they know, disregard them immediately because no, this, this is, this is a very fluid situation still. Yeah. Just ask them what they got their MD degree in epidemiology degree and how many PhDs they’ve got after the name and you can get her and they only get their sense of rights. Well, you know, three months ago everybody was a constitutional scholar. So, you know. Yup. And this is our best guests based on the closest relative. So it made up. And you know, if you, if you look at the flu, what happens in the flu is then you know, what happens to the peaks drop in the summer because after March it gets hot in the car and the flu virus is actually very susceptible to heat. Unfortunately, the Corona virus from what we can tell isn’t so susceptible. I think we think it’s going to be a slight tick, but we don’t think it’s going to be like the flu. Sadly. It would be really helpful if it was cause it gives us a break. But um, uh, so far we see it in the summer. So that’s sort of the big question we’ve got. I’ll just show you this quickly because it’s important to the discussion about, about it and AI. What’s interesting about this is it, is it a little bit of a different take on exponential growth. So what happens is suppose today you see one death, right? Well, if we think back about the Corona virus, it actually, that guy took about four or five weeks to die, right? Right. Now at that time, if you do the math, if you have a case spec calibrate of 1% and you go through the cycle, people at the time, right? Probably sick because you have one set set, the present fatality rate. So now you can see that one person come out and you got, so that means you got a hundred people right there at four weeks ago you had a hundred people with the disease. Well, if a doubles every, every week, then week two you got 200 people. Week three you got four people, we four, you got 800 people and a day you’re off the page, right? So, so, so the problem with the problem with using death as an indicator is that it’s a really latent trigger, right? Right, right. Now they’re starting to say, well, let’s take a look at infection rate. Now that’s, that’s a better trigger. We want to have 14 days and infection rates going down. Uh, and that’s, that’s again, that’s a pretty late trigger because problem is we don’t have a very good diagnostic system. As I said, we do our diagnosis and then between five and 10 days later, sadly if you go to a doctor, it’d be nine days. If go to the hospital before five, then you find out what they’ve got and the problem. And that’s already allowed. You know, that’s another week or so, right? Even after you get started to get symptoms, which is already weekend. So we have to do is you have to get these, you have to get these triggers going earlier. And I’ll talk a little about those triggers. Those are diagnostic tests that we do in the field. So you actually know where you can already at like day three or four. So that, that way it’s easy to stop if you wait until you see a death. And then if you’re not really sure and you say, well, let’s just see, see what happens. Wait another week. Well now you’re at 3,200. Right? You know, let’s wait one more week and you have four deaths. It’s not that many people. Right? Well, now you’re 64 and the problem with this is we think that this is a pretty easy, uh, this is a relatively good scenario. We think that the numbers could be 10 times this. So actually one death as he’s 16,000 people aren’t thinking that sort of the rate that’s sort of, you know, the level of unknowns we’re at. So that gives you a sense of why these triggers are so important and why everyone’s talking about these diagnostic tests, diagnostic tests, they can push you into understanding whether you’ve got disease in day three, you’re not having to wait until week five. That’s a huge difference. And that’s the opportunity and we’ll get into how we can use that at the, toward the end we’re getting where we got some good stuff was that one of the issues in the beginning was they didn’t have a test and they couldn’t get accurate numbers. Yeah. That’s killing us. You know, we sorta, we sort of sort of, we sort of dropped the ball. What happened was, um, we thought that China had it and then, you know, had it properly done, they thought that they’re going to be able to stop it. They thought, we thought the testing would largely be done in China. China, that’s very expensive. So the big companies said, you know, we’re not that interested in doing this test, you know, ramp up and I’m gonna have to do all this stuff and then we’ll turn out the whole thing. I’ll fizzle out like SARS and everything else did in the past. So we’re not gonna, you know, we don’t really want to create these new tests. And that happened in February kind of timeframe. And so it started to really ramp up. Like we couldn’t, we’re out, we’re taking the three weeks. We know humans as, as, as creatures. Um, so I mean, it did. I mean, is it safe to say that what happened was SARS kind of lulled this into a false sense of security? No. SARS is really dangerous if you, if you, if you were to Asia today. Well, no, no, no. I mean, just, just from the standpoint, like from an, from an, from a us perspective. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. You know, I have to, I probably would say, yeah, we think, well, you know, apply that. Meanwhile, the Asian countries where they were really ready for this, right? They have the laws in place. They’d done a SAR if they had a lot of, you know, had a lot of deaths and so they were ready for a lot of this stuff. And so they were able to stop a lot of it early on and we were sort of, as you said, lulled into it, um, a little bit and, and, and we got a little, we lost that. We sorta lost that month, uh, in February, and that, that really hurt. Um, but, you know, it’s, it’s recoverable. It’s just, it’s a lot of, a lot of fatalities. So one of the things that’s sort of interesting on the it side is how you do these diagnostics, right. And, um, you can start to see, president Trump said today that he wanted us to be able to test about 2%, uh, of the Americans. My, my numbers are going to have to do a little bit more than that. A 2% is a good start, but really controlled liars. You really have to probably be doing, uh, this is a test per week, says about 20 million a day and he would be down at about what, uh, 6 million a day. So I’m recommending kind of three to four times what he would recommend initially, but you know, but that’s a good start, right? So we have, we have three different kinds of tests. The first is surveillance. You come in, you and, and so if you go to a bar in China, they’ll actually take your temperature awesome about whether you’re, and they’ll take it outside the bar. And actually if you see order, the best hospitals today, they’ll also do the same thing, right? They want to test out before you even walk in the door. They’re checking your temperature and that kind of stuff now. Yeah, exactly. And that’s good practice, right? If you see that that’s a much better situation than if you walk in the door and then they start taking the temperature or they don’t get the temperature at all. Go ahead and wander around the building and when we’ll figure it out, if you’ve already come in contact with a few people, then you’ve got a problem with taking your temperature at this. This actually reduces in Singapore, this reduced the number of cases by 58% and the hospitals that did this versus that. So it’s a very effective means of controlling viral barrel. It’s not that, it’s not very sensitive that very specific. So this was, you have a theater doesn’t mean you got to go big. It’s a good start. And especially if they’re best practices, they test you outside in the parking lot. And then if you got a fever they say go get a test and don’t, don’t go into the building. And that’s the best practice. Uh, so I still have to a friend, I still have to see my orthopedic doctor cause I still have some problems with my knee and they wouldn’t even let me open the front door. Like they had someone opened it for me, testing me outside. We drove fine. And then inside like half of those roped off, we could only go here and good for them now that, that that’s really good practice, especially if it’s a maintaining distance all the way through in the waiting room and everything else that that’s, that’s a nice, nice job. That’s a really good jet so that you’re going, you’re going to a good guy. The other thing I’d say is if at all possible to do a telemedicine wise over the, you know, over the internet, that’s even even better. Obviously with orthopedics you can’t do that. They got to test certain physical capabilities you’re having after the surgery. Uh, but uh, for, for, you know, if you’re doing psychological work or if you’re doing normal, just, you know, diagnostics initially, uh, to the extent you can do it with a telemedicine, you’re better off right now. Uh, just to do it cause sure. Yeah. Yeah. So the, the other, so there’s a surveillance. Yes. Uh, uh, the other kind of surveillance test is actually what they call Sentinel testing and they’ll actually, you know, they’ll say really interested in opening up this building. And so we’re going to really do a real area. We’re gonna do a real high density testing just to that area. It’s a little rope it off and really look at what’s going on in that area. That’s, you know, setting all ties passing. We have to do a lot more of that. Um, especially if you want to start to preserve some areas of effective economic activity. PCR area is sort of interesting. That’s, that’s the test for the actual virus. So, uh, the, the, and this is unfortunately, this is the area where we made a little, we lost a little bit of time, uh, and we need to do about 75, in my estimation, somebody had billion deaths a week or so on this. This is to now, this is to manage the demand for viruses. If we’re con, if we’re actually treating them. There are other numbers that say I’m an epidemiologist, I’m just interested in sort of knowing what the prevalence of the viruses then you have. Then you can do it at a much in a much lower rate of testing. But if you really want to manage the test, you know, you got a COPD patient, your doctor, you’re going to have to measure him, him or her, that the patient the five, six, 10 times to understand what the level of vital is that. So it isn’t just about the UVL just this test just once. Right. Gotcha. So that was, yeah, that was, I was actually, I’m like, I’m like, okay, so you’re testing the entire population every five weeks, but now that you’ve got multiple tests on, okay, gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. So, and then what happens is you do more surveillance testing all of a sudden doing an awful lot more PCR testing because people are thought to

It's lucky number SEVEN here on the Heavy Snacking Podcast and this week my guest is musician/designer Brian Morgante! He is probably best known for his company Flesh and Bone Design but has an extensive musical history playing in his own bands and touring with others (most recently, Boy Rex)! He is also the first VEGAN we have had on the show, so get ready for some fresh recommendations! We talk about his upbringing in evangelical Christianity, being a dancing merch guy, and immersing himself in instrumental music under the name Deadhorse. We barely touch on his story as a designer but we did discuss Pennsylvania gas station chains, Vernor's Ginger Soda, and of course we have a laundry list of vegan restaurants folks can check out!

- Detroit is about to becoming the first urban core in America with independent, self-driving commercial vehicles on public streets - A Country Fresh dairy plant in the Detroit suburb of Livonia is closing its doors due to losing business from Walmart. More than 100 people will be laid off at the facility that has roots back to the old Melody Farms brand. - DogSpot, a company that promises, quote, “No Mo FoMo Fo Yo Doggo” (the letter r has been omitted in their website text) has set up two air-conditioned dog parkers near popular restaurants in Ferndale. -  Detroit’s hottest attraction last weekend seems to have been Michigan Central Station in Corktown. According to Ford, the new owners, more than 20,000 people came through the station during an open house over five days. - 1,000 people are going to play the White Stripes song "Seven Nation Army" on Belle Isle together, and we have details on how you can participate. - An update on the old 1917 American Bistro on Livernois - Free Detroit-centric movies coming to Bel Air theatre - And we dive into Open Street Detroit, the new Rouge Park edition. It's interesting to see this event add a focus beyond Michigan and Vernor to over by Detroit's largest park. Lisa Nuszkowski joins Sven on the show.

This is from June 11, 2016 ... it was the Detroit Historical Museum and Detroit Historical Society 150 year celebration for Vernors. It was the end of the day and several thousand of us were outside in the courtyard of the Detroit Historical Museum to give open our can of Vernors they had handed out to all of us, take that first Vernors swig and give a Vernors toast to the wonderful day of celebration. I turned on my recorder and got some fun talk story and conversations with lots of people including James Vernor V and his son Jamie (6th generation). Tracy Smith Irwin, Director of Exhibitions and Collections, Detroit Historical Society, Sean Clyne, Data Base and Membership Manager, Detroit Historical Society expressed their gratitude for the turnout and others like Carter Sherline, Howard and Cindy MClauchlan had so many nice things to say about Detroit, Vernors and shared about all the Detroit Historical Museum and Detroit Historical Society events and activities. Events and activities that include the Dossin Museum on Belle Isle, the Detroit 67 Project and more I think are best experienced and be aware of by being a member of the Detroit Historical Society. I'm a new member and have discovered such joy in being aware of and participating in what they do and learning so much about Detroit .... my hometown where I am discovering every day means so much more to me as I learn more about my own family Detroit history. So the story on June 11, 2016 at the 150 Vernor's Celebration was about much more than a drink. It was about Vernor's, something that really impacted a city ....Detroit and the culture of the people who lived in Detroit. I'm one of them!!! Keith Wunderlich, who has written a book "Vernor's Ginger Ale" says “It’s hard to tell the story of someone who grew up in Detroit in the 1940s and ’50s that doesn’t somehow involve Vernors,” Keith and Mike Novak who is the Vernors Gnome "Woody" when not a Science teacher in Blissfield and so many others created a wonderful day. I had so much fun with Keith and Mike early that morning in the studio at WJR on the Warren Pierce Show. Warren really showcased Detroit Historical Society plans for later in the day. We had a Vernors Boston Cooler for breakfast and Warren's team ... Lori, Erin, Erica, and others all had a Vernors story. Thanks for listening. Glad I turned on my recorder and can feature another "say nice things about Detroit" segment as part of my Emily T Gail Show espnhawaii.com Telling Detroit stories and why they matter....
