There is a lot of FUD currently going on. This podcast by Joe Rogan is great. Listen to an expert and then make your decisions.

Here is the bio of the guy he interviews. Since Joe Rogan isn’t a “reliable” source.

Michael Osterholm is an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology. He is Regents Professor, McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences, School of Public Health, a professor in the Technological Leadership Institute, College of Science and Engineering, and an adjunct professor in the Medical School, all at the University of Minnesota.

I don't have time to listen to a Podcast. Can you summarize?

I've read a hell of a lot around this recently and if his conclusion is anything other than "this is an epoch changing event that requires massive, immediate change in our behaviour" then I suspect I'll disagree.

(sorry if I'm jumping to conclusions but there's a lot of people saying we shouldn't be worried and they are dangerous)

This is a 15-min portion from the complete hour and a half version, if that helps

Not here to state an opinion about Joe Rogan one way or the other, but listening to an expert who has thought about crises like these and dealt with other epidemics can be helpful.

What change in what behaviour?

That looks like an automated transcription that's almost entirely unreadable nonsense. Maybe not the best thing to be recommending to people who are looking for easily-digestable information.

That pretty much is the message of the podcast. Along with "it is scary but don't freak out".

Its a good podcast with good information but the guy is mostly on because Rogan has a huge audience.

Joe Rogan podcasts are approximately forty hours long, on average. You need to summarize it, with text.

You understand that most people are going to laugh at the suggestion of paying attention to Joe Rogan right now right.

It is not Joe Rogan, but the person he is talking to - Michael Osterholm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Osterholm), that is of interest in that podcast.

In times of crisis we need to hear from Ja Rule.
Re:Nancy Pelosi Says House Will Pass Coronavirus Bill with F... by QuesnayJr on Thursday March 12, 2020 @02:07PM (#22559803)
I've been thinking about that bit regularly in the past couple of days. "I want some answers that Ja Rule might not have right now."

Why is that?

Some people can't get over Rogan having certain guests on. It is an opinion based ideology.
