Alexa turn on studio hey everybody how's it going well welcome to coffee with Scott Adams best part of your day you know have you ever feel guilty being in the middle of a pandemic and still finding a way to have a tremendous time every now and then oh yeah we got to take this quite seriously but we can still have our fun and this is one of those times well welcome to the simultaneous hip and coffee with Scott Adams and all you need is a cup of micro glass a tanker chalice or Stein and a canteen jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine Ian of the day the thing that makes everything better including a pandemic it's called the simultaneous imp and it happens now we have a hospital worker here joining in

[1:24]

have a hospital worker here joining in the SIP thank you for your service normally I would reserve that for people in our military but can you make a distinction today between a healthcare worker on the frontline and somebody in the military well you can but it's a minor distinction so if you see a doctor or a nurse thank them maybe don't say service we'll save that for the people in the service but thank you so what is special about today what is special about today I'm gonna call the elbow now the elbow is what I've been told I've been telling you for a while is coming it's the elbow of the curve and I'm not talking about the virus curve you know what I'm talking about you're talking about the the slow acquisition of information that the humans are doing

[2:24]

of information that the humans are doing on a global scale and I told you that this is largely an information problem you know what drugs work against it we need to know what types of people are most affected we need to know what worked what didn't work we need to know and of course who hasn't need to know if you get the information the viruses toast so it has always been an information problem presenting itself as a health care problem because that's the ramifications but I told you from the start if there's one thing we're good at humans hash tag human we're good at finding information and we're good at doing things when we're all in the same page the only thing that ever slows us down is when we're not on the same team that kind of stopped this week we're kind of all on the same team at the moment well we'll deal with China later but at the moment same team Adam you

[3:26]

but at the moment same team Adam you have my enemy and the elbow looks like it's happening now some would say that you still need some kind of an omen wouldn't you like that wouldn't you like that there were some kind of a you know aside if you're if you're a believer you'd say well there's God telling me things is everything's gonna be okay if you're not a believer maybe you like the simulation maybe you start seeing coincidences and you say ah the simulation is winking at me now I don't think any of these things pass any kind of scientific rigor but sometimes doesn't it feel good when you just see something that just says I think everything's going to be okay now
I'm not gonna lie to you next two weeks might be a little bit rugged for you and for the people who catch the virus it's gonna be horrific that's going to happen

[4:29]

gonna be horrific that's going to happen you you don't have to stress about should it happen how do we stop it next two weeks are gonna be rough that's just the way it's gonna be but there might be some good things coming and I'm gonna talk about them but first I want to give you a just a simple tip you can try it at home now this may sound silly but try it if you're feeling a little bit anxious about all this stuff and of course you do of course you do the you know the strongest person in the world is gonna feel a little bit anxious today here's the little tip and don't laugh at this because it actually works find a nice soft blanket and wrap it around yourself and just see how it feels now the softness is a big part of it because if it's on your arms you know nice fleece kind of blanket and you're just gonna feel comforted it's just a physical thing it's not even

[5:30]

just a physical thing it's not even psychological I don't think I think you know we're designs of the nice warm embrace of something soft even if it's just a blanket it's gonna make you feel better and I so I got I actually ordered a blanket for acted for only this purpose so I put on my blanket yesterday
and it totally feels better this is a real thing just find a nice soft blanket during the day just wrap yourself up in it I swear to God I feel great right now love joke I'm gonna keep this up but let's talk about what's happened most of you saw the clip from Tucker Carlson's show last night in which it was being announced that there's a cure

[6:33]

announced that there's a cure now do we believe it yet mmm you know it's in the it's in the category of things one should not automatically believe all right so anytime somebody says hey we studied 40 people which is not a gigantic sample and a hundred percent of them were cured with chloroquine the drug that I've been talking about for a while yeah the the rumors have been that it was effective so apparently there's a French study now that allegedly and I'm not a scientist and I haven't looked at the study and I haven't reproduced it so don't take my word for it but this is the report it's a hundred percent effective at curing the corona virus after you have it now if you missed that let me say it again would just complete it just completed a French study from one of the most I

[7:35]

French study from one of the most I guess one of the most famous and talented scientists in this exact field it's been accepted for publication so it's so now it's passed at least that step and they tested 40 people and they had a hundred percent success rate now I guess the math on this assuming that others look at it and they agree that the test was you know organized correctly and I think people are saying it was apparently the math on this even though it was only 40 people the odds of it not being real are very close to zero and apparently that almost never happens and as dr. Estes guessed you know like you know Tucker was appropriately skeptical and amazed at the same time like watching Tucker's face when the scientist who is completely credible by the way you know a known credible scientist saying that

[8:35]

a known credible scientist saying that the corona virus has a hundred percent cure and it's a pill we already make and is well known and it's safe and it's already been used in other countries and Tucker is hearing this and you look at his face it was worth it was worth just watching the whole show just for that moment because he was having the same experience that all of us were having at home listening to it for the first time which is what I don't know if I'm hearing this right is that possible that there's a safe effective widely available pill that's already on the pharmacies that's a hundred percent fewer apparently there's only one other time that we've cured a virus yeah so there's only one other time the humans have learned how to actually cure a virus and so this would be the second time if it's real so we have some precedent that you can actually cure a

[9:36]

precedent that you can actually cure a virus with the right meds I think I think they do it for yeah you'll remind me whatever the problem is so here's some other things coming down the line
first of all there's some there's some troubling suggestion that China knew this and was maybe not as forthcoming as they could have been with sharing the information now this is not yet the time to look backwards so just put a put attack in this one a question we're going to ask is did China and know this worked I mean actually no it Mark's long before they made it widely available to other countries at risk it's a pretty big question that's a real big question because you know I I I'm

[10:38]

big question because you know I I I'm gonna stick with esque and I'm gonna say it a million times in the next year I have no patience for people who look at other people operating you know in an emergency trying to do the best they can and then sitting on the sidelines and saying you should have done it sooner you're gonna get sick of me saying the idiots in the room are the ones who said it should have been done sooner but I'm gonna make an exception right and the reason the art the argument there is that everything that's good should have been done sooner so if you're making a comment that something should have been done sooner it has no meaning because that applies to all things good should have been done sooner hey you know why weren't you smarter why didn't you see it coming why didn't you work harder there's no exception do they I don't know we should have been done sooner but I'm gonna make an exception in the case where it was intentionally withheld now I'm not gonna say that that's the case but if it turns out that China maybe knew more than they shared

[11:39]

China maybe knew more than they shared and it was intentional just speculating wouldn't you like to know that so if that's the case I wouldn't feel the same about a delay if it's intentional of course some other good news you know this is sort of a wild card the thing but I actually might be important one of the things we're going to learn even though we didn't want to learn it is what happens to co2 and you know maybe potentially a little bit more about climate change risk etcetera etc based on the fact that we reduced air pollution substantially and probably it will last a month so will that will the scientists be able to take advantage of the the rarest thing that can happen which is the the economy of the world just stopping at the same and then watching the air pollution drop

[12:39]

and then watching the air pollution drop into what do we learn now that I'm not a scientist so you know your your first instinct would be well maybe nothing because it's a short period and you know it's hard to untangle all the variables so baby nothing because co2 is a long-term problem it's not you know something to happen this month but I'm not so sure I feel as if that might be enough data for remember you know the scientists are smarter than you they're smarter than me so just because I can't figure out how to take advantage of that information doesn't mean somebody can't and I would love to know if we actually experienced anything like some seasonal coolness you know in theory so here's my question if pollution goes out of the air kind of quickly and we watch that already happen so Wuhan was it was super polluted and now it's not yeah they might be back to work but at least there was a period when it wasn't so we know that the air

[13:40]

when it wasn't so we know that the air clears pretty darn quickly but what I don't know and I'd have to ask some scientists does that be the co2 clears and here's here's the dumbest question you're ever going to hear that I have no shame so I'm just gonna ask it anyway is there such a thing as you know I'll just ask if if every 10 years we just decided to shut down all industry and travel for two weeks I'm just brainstorming here don't take this too seriously and brought our pollution down to zero with those gains be any anyway permanent in other words could you just stop doing everything for a while and let the co2 you know settle and how long would that take because pollution went out of the air pretty quickly but this is co2 because of its nature hanging around longer even after you start to stop polluting I don't know the answer to that question but even if

[14:41]

answer to that question but even if there's a small change don't the scientists get a like an incredible amount of new insight just based on this unique situation put it out there as a question I think it's a potentially tremendous benefit but it's a maybe here's some other good news
Julia cheek I guess she's a mound her of company called Everly well that today they announced she's calling it her proudest day ever and I would I would say that might be the case she says we're launching the first solution in the u.s. to get tested and diagnosed for covered nineteen from your home on Monday so this Monday can you believe this by Monday you know there won't be many of them I assume but I guess are cracking up production by Monday we'll have a home test kit for the chrome virus and it's kind of come

[15:41]

the chrome virus and it's kind of come down to you know will come down to this it's a contest between a viral you know viral spread and reproduction versus American manufacturing you could say world manufacturing but I think I think people are going to be keeping whatever they can produce to themselves for the short run so if suddenly some country could produce a lot of n95 masks they probably need to keep them you know that I don't know if they could produce enough to also export right away so most countries are sort of on their own in the short run in the long run of course they'll be sharing but in the short run I think the US probably needs to make its own masks and pretty quickly it probably needs to make its own test kits and pretty quickly and so it's come down to a contest a fair fight it wasn't a fair fight at first we had no weapons we had no tools we had no information it was a sneak attack boom virus is on us both yeah we've had a little time to

[16:43]

us both yeah we've had a little time to regroup we did a strategic retreat we divided to conquer and then the smartest people in the world have been working on essentially a global Manhattan Project to find every possible weapon you could against this virus and it looks like they found it it looks like they found it now having that the cure if we can call it that and the others there's still an Asterix on this so don't you know if things change don't say I didn't tell you it couldn't because it could but it's looking really good I gotta say yeah and the other thing you need is the test kits so if you could massively test and you've got a pill that you know that works and you've got a strategy of delay and separation we are we're on the cusp of one of the greatest American achievements of all time I might be

[17:45]

achievements of all time I might be wrong it could be wrong but if I were to sort of straight line this where it's going I think by the end of the summer the United States you know full strategy if you look at it from from closing the airports which was you know the first action I guess to delaying to you know building tools learning from the other countries and then once we have the weapons and right now we've identified the weapons we you know we know we this drug it would be insane if our if our government is not working hard to produce this drug already you know you know if you've got that one one gold standard kind of good test that says it worked a hundred percent of the time you should be cranking that out you know if if by the end of today you've not heard your government say well just in case

[18:45]

your government say well just in case you know we're still making sure this works but just in case we just put a billion dollars on it we just dropped a wad of cash and the US Army and and the full weight of American manufacturing on it and we're going to make we're going to make the hell out of this pill it's the chloroquine I guess and there's a strong diversion as well we're gonna make the hell out of this pill I guess there's another one that goes well with it
it just in case if you don't hear that by the end of today you should lose some confidence in your government I'm going to be honest but I think you might and I'm I'm actively trying to get that answer so I'm using what contacts I have to see if somebody can tell me is there is there a specific you know manufacturing plant that we're putting the full weight of the United States power money you know arms and legs and

[19:49]

power money you know arms and legs and brains into it and that it's happening right now if you don't hear that by the end of the day you should lose some confidence and I don't mean that what they tell you is that it's working great because it's like everything right you know day one of doing anything is going to be just nothing but mistakes but if we're not putting the energy into it you could reasonably lose some confidence in your government and nobody would say that you were being unreasonable end of today today is the day we the country needs to hear it now how good is the news today let's check my stock market Green Green Green Green Green Green Green Green Green Green Green Green it's all green baby it's all green we're going weapons hot not yet not yet don't have enough of them but we know the weapons now and

[20:50]

them but we know the weapons now and when humans start working it could be an amazing thing here's some more things we know over in Belgium they've adjusted their protocols now but what I'm going to tell you now is from guy I don't know on the internet so if this is wrong well you know sorry but it sounds like something that's right so yeah that's that's the best I could tell you it sounds like it's true that Belgium has adjusted their protocols to give that to to give the even stronger version of the chloroquine and the
hydroxychloroquine I to all patients with medium to severe symptoms so they're giving it to all patient all patients so they're not waiting for severe they're giving it to all medium to severe so more data on success rate should come up then we're going to know a lot in a week two weeks tops because Belgium will be reproducing it

[21:53]

because Belgium will be reproducing it presumably with enough with enough information that will really feel more confident about what we know Patriots in the hill guard Martis us has put together and I tweeted it you see in my Twitter feed one of the one of the best just one of the best things I've ever seen I'm a I'm a sort of a data geek if I see a good presentation about Dana I like it just makes me tingle I don't apologize for that and you have to see what he did so the questions the question he was looking at was a convalescent of serum what that means is people who have already recovered from the virus have the antibodies already in their blood and so there is a mechanism it's it's known it's something that China used and has reported on with some success that if you could identify the cured people take their blood you you play with the

[22:55]

take their blood you you play with the blood a little bit you know whatever you do with it and then it turns into something that you can inject into somebody else and give them a little resistance I don't know if it's full resistance I don't know if it's just good those are things to know but wouldn't you like to know like what would that look like is that practical in other words how many how many recovered people would you need to have enough supply for the people you need to cover isn't that a good question right like at what point do we have enough recovered people who would also volunteer to give their blood that there's enough of it that you can start really protecting the big groups and so even figure that out this is a field yes in the experience and and he's a great communicator one of the best one of the best you'll ever see in the technical sense and he comes up with this map of the United States and puts that number on each state it's kind

[23:55]

puts that number on each state it's kind of genius so you can see you know I don't know California was like 49 people or whatever now everything's a snapshot so snapchat snapshot in time so of course all this changes but it's a real good first take you know of course other others who know how to you know look at this stuff probably should look at it and you know tweak it or adjust it but man is that productive information that is really productive because it figured out how much blood people can give and how many people have it and stuff so you know we keep refining that but man that's just great work so coronavirus your days are numbered so we've got a kind of lesson serum method for some some degree of protection we don't know if that's 100% or what percent we've got testing kits online they're coming we've got I saw that Elon Musk and maybe getting him the fight Elon

[24:59]

and maybe getting him the fight Elon Musk used replying to I don't know it was but the question was could he be part of the effort to mass-produce these n95 masks and apparently part of the problem is they're hard to make so it's not good enough just to have a factory you got to have the right kind of factory and know-how and it's not fast and so Elon has sort of entered entered the fight at least in the question sense and said that between Tesla and SpaceX they have engineers who would know how to make a ventilator in other words making a ventilator it would be easy before the kind of talent he has that's basically what he said but he hasn't stepped up inside working and we're gonna go at that he said you know tell me which hospitals need ventilators so I think he's still testing to see if this is real meaning how important is that that he started converting the resources of Tesla Geordi

[26:00]

converting the resources of Tesla Geordi ventilators or at least helping somebody else do it so I don't say he's fully in the fight yet but if I were a virus and I heard he was getting that close to being in the fight I'd be a little worried somebody says Mark Cuban unfucked I was gonna talk about Mark Cuban he's on my list and he had called four-engine publicly called for engineers to figure out how to engineer a simpler version of the n95 so that we could make them faster I gotta say you know I've mentioned this before but there will be a lot of leaders who are identified during this crisis people who just stepped up and he's one of them so Mark Cuban I would say is one of the most important and effective just citizen leaders in this crisis I get I give him just all kinds of credit for the way he's handling not only the way he handled his business and his employees

[27:02]

handled his business and his employees which was early and fast and public great role model but you know he's continuing to find areas in which his unique contribution make a difference probably we only know about a fraction of it so when you when you see that when you see your most capable people stepping up it just has to make you feel better it should see what else we got this is just a funny anecdote I forgot about it so I guess I might have been in the day before yesterday Bernie Sanders was asked by CNN's Manu Raju and asked his time frame for a decision about you know whether he'd stay in the race or not and this quote doesn't work nearly as well without the full swearing because Bernie used a curse word but I'm not going to tell you to tell your kids to leave the room because I'm not going to use the word but I want you in your mind to substitute that that

[28:04]

you in your mind to substitute that that word because it makes it all funnier because is coming from Bernie Sanders and he's talking to Manu Raju or CNN so Maharaja says acid for his time frame for a decision and reportedly Bernie look at them said quote I'm dealing with an effing global crisis right now I tried to do my best to make sure that we don't have and that can have a meltdown that people don't die is that enough for you to keep me busy for today birdie the only thing I'm gonna like better than Bernie running for president is Bernie knowing he's not going to be President you know Bernie Unleashed you know once he knows he doesn't have to do things or say things that are gonna make him president because that's not going to happen it looks like you know at least internally one could imagine that that he's made that decision who knows you know I can't read his mind but but what but if you say to

[29:04]

his mind but but what but if you say to the CN and if you turn to the CNN person say I'm dealing with an F of global crisis right now I'm trying to do my best to make sure to leave we don't have an economic meltdown and the people don't die is that enough for you to keep me busy today Trumpy Trump has never dealt with CNN that well alright here's some more potential good news it's good news that emanates from a horrible news so let me not underplay the horribleness of what I'm going to say I don't want to be for Nessa Hudgens and yeah and be viral tomorrow because I said anything positive but there was a apparently a family of seven members who all got it and three of them died now that's the tragedy obviously so you know things can't get worse for this family and you know and so we feel for them but if three members of the same family die

[30:06]

three members of the same family die there's a little flag that goes off in your head this has genetic there's a genetic now it's too early to say yes although there's strong reason to believe that there might be but this family and I don't mean to be unkind but they they did show a family picture and I'll just say that they're they don't look like they go to the gym a lot they'll just say that okay so you can't rule out that it was an unusually non health-related family I just don't want to be unkind so you can't rule out that there was just something about the family they they weren't taking care of themselves and that had something to do with it but I'm not suggesting that I'm just saying that we don't know this situation I'm definitely not suggesting that just saying it's in the it's in the list of things you would look at the other possibility is and again this is very non-scientific what I'm going to say just something that would be in the hypothesis category maybe a little bit

[31:08]

hypothesis category maybe a little bit more than a hypothesis which is that the viral load makes a difference so if somebody in your family gets it and you're in close quarters you may be getting a you know big dose of the virus and then maybe three people in the family have it and you're getting a real big dose so the entire story could be that once the family got it they were just too close and didn't have enough ventilation and so they just stood in it until they got the worst possible degree of the infection in the same way that a nursing home it got got it worse in the same way that the cruise ship got it worse because the marinating in the extra virus might make a difference and you could kind of common sensical ecy that would make sense even if your common sense doesn't match actual science so this is just a question but I said this before if you had a if your virus got into you just one way let's say you touch your mouth

[32:09]

one way let's say you touch your mouth after you touch something is that a slow building virus that gives your your body time to build up some defenses versus you know if I walked up to you with a firehose full of virus and just sprayed it all over your body and it was getting in every crack and hole in your body at the same time would you recover just as quickly now my common-sense informed by exactly Oh science and zero medical knowledge is that I think it would be worse if you got the firehose of virus versus the little pinprick of virus as your your initial infection right I mean maybe somebody can tell me if that's just crazy but I think there's some at least some medical intuition that people have had about that so anyway we're going on this is that there are people looking to do genetic testing if they can give samples of this family samples of other people who have had good experiences and bad experiences

[33:10]

good experiences and bad experiences there's a very strong feeling that there's something about the genetic lung composition of some people that makes them more susceptible and we have we have the companies that can do that we certainly must have enough samples that exists you know getting permission to get those samples getting permission to test and then getting enough of them that you have you know a useful thing could tell us a lot so remember this is an information problem disguised as a health problem and if we could take everybody's DNA imagine imagine we could test you test you a home here you spit in the test tube just like 23andme and then but you put a lot more resources against testing wouldn't you like to know
and and in my case I've already done the 23andme so I don't know if that means

[34:12]

23andme so I don't know if that means they could just use what they already have that would be big so somebody has to answer me this question please those little tests that are exist 23andme and such if you've already taken that did 23andme and and the other companies that do that sort of thing do they keep a full profile of your DNA or do they just pick out the parts that they know how to deal with and then literally you know delete the rest or not test the rest I don't know how that works but do we already have pretty big database that's a full it has to be a full spectrum right you'd have to look at the whole DNA do we have that already because if we do imagine you find out that your your lung you know receptors of the type that are the bad kind or the you know the kind that you're most likely to so people in the comments are saying that they have the full DNA I can't guarantee you that's true but a lot of smart people

[35:13]

that's true but a lot of smart people here suggesting that that's hard or somebody who say in the comments the saliva is the hardest thing to test for viruses but that's not what we're talking about we're not talking about saliva to test if you have the virus I'm talking about using saliva to test if you have the genetic makeup they would make you especially susceptible to the virus or in the best case especially non susceptible so that's another weapon so let me list these so we got the the virus the the medicines that appear to be a hundred percent effective in trials we've got test kits that you'll be able to test a home we just have to ramp it up we've got this genetic potential that I think is actually a really high potential to be to be something positive here and really really give us more information about who to protect the most we've got the indication that the the blood serum the thing should be

[36:16]

the blood serum the thing should be effective and we'll have more information soon with the test kit so who's recovered etc you can see it coming all together Kenya and I think we'll be making more massive in ventilators to apparently there I predicted that the drive-in theaters would have a route would start popping up now I don't know if anybody's actually popped up an actual drive-in theater just for the the crisis but apparently the ones that exist there still are some are doing good business I was somebody said that that was in the red new set you
if that's true it's not yes showing up on my stock ticker but there is a delay there so I wouldn't take that as true yet but keep an eye on them so think about all those things that are positive today you know I actually scouted a

[37:22]

today you know I actually scouted a location in my neighborhood there's a there's a what would you call it a strip mall that's closed so well the the banker stores closed so the small ones are still there but the parking lot is empty because the remaining stores are sort of onesie twosie customer situations so this is vast parking lot in the middle of my neighborhood with with nothing to do and how hard could it be how hard could it be to put up a temporary screen and then I don't know what technology it is but you should be able to stream to the car radios right if you have the right technology you can do a short-range FM situation correct me if I'm wrong but if somebody can tell me what product that is why is everybody saying that market is down when my ticker is not showing that is that that's like oh you have to turn down so

[38:23]

that's like oh you have to turn down so yeah there's a ticker delay so just turn down so here's what you're going to see today you're going to see news of the potential cure you can see lots of good news about lots of things but the market is also going to be seeing massive bad news so you're going to see more news today than you ever see in your life but like you know 80% of it is going to be bad because it's people having a bad time right now and that 20% is gonna be I think we get a handle on it I think we can get a handle on it all right so people are saying the Dow is down you should expect you should SPECT a lot of choppiness in the next two weeks
how are you how are you doing on your micro steps let me give you a way to get going because no matter what we're probably gonna be holed up for a few more weeks right best-case scenario we're still gonna be staying home a lot

[39:24]

we're still gonna be staying home a lot and best-case scenario we'll be staying home a lot no matter what and here's my recommendation and I'm using this process myself micro steps I talked about this before but it's a it's a real good time to talk about it again so my my new skill that I plan to pick up in the next few weeks it has to do with my studio equipment and there's some new software then I have to lower it and learn and have it use it all together etc so I've got it I have my body of learning that I need to complete now if I think about all of it it's easy to ignore it because like well this little it's gonna be a lot of work I really feel like doing a lot of work who does so it's easy to ignore it if I see it as this big hard thing so instead I say well I'm just gonna do one micro step so I did that yesterday or the day before I

[40:26]

I did that yesterday or the day before I talked to the person who makes the software and he explained how to use it and arranging - arranging to purchase it and etc so I have a so it's a very small thing I just made a phone call check some stuff so if you're thinking about doing and learning something do that do the smallest step if you're thinking about oh I'd like to pick up some skills and let's say marketing you know the smaller step is to find the online course that is offering it either there are a few so just do the smallest thing if you think taking a class sounds like a lot of work just find out where it is that's all don't commit to anything else just find out where it is and then the next day maybe sign up you don't even have to look at any of the course materials just just sign up ten minutes and the next day just say you know I'll sample it you

[41:28]

day just say you know I'll sample it you know I'll look at this for five minutes so that's that's the key you wanna you got you won't have many times in your life where you're going to have this much spare time that you can't productively do something outside of the house so we use it you know learn a skill fix up your house fix your space find a way to take advantage of this little coronavirus holiday we're having
that's saying I want to make sure that oh I forgot all about this too so I mentioned this yesterday but some of you only watched in the morning my Health and Human Services announced that telehealth doctors will be able and I don't know maybe it's other in general but doctors will be able to practice across state borders so the federal government has just overruled all the state boards that control the stuff and just said at least for the duration

[42:30]

just said at least for the duration duration of the emergency the doctors can practice across state borders effectively tripling the capacity in one day pretty amazing can somebody tell me the name of the M night Shyamalan movie in which I think Mel Gibson was in it and aliens aliens came down and they couldn't be stopped but it turns out that the solution was water so when they thought everything was was doomed there was no way to solve it oh it's called signs thank you very quick yeah so the movie is called signs and I got to tell you there from the very first start of this coronavirus crisis I couldn't get that movie out of my head and the part of it I couldn't get in my head it was just the specific part where there was there was the weapon that existed and it was widely available literally it was water and the aliens were killed

[43:33]

water and the aliens were killed and I thought to myself I don't know why I can't shake this I feel like there's an existing substance or something on earth that we just have to figure out what it is and I think we did that we we the public we the we these the scientists anyway I guess that's not we so I couldn't get that out of my head and it's this feels like the third act of a movie you know where we are in that impossible situation and then you realize that water kills the aliens and I feel like that was the movie that we just found ourselves in with this chloroquine chloroquine whatever it is stuff all right that's all I got for today I think it's plenty and and I hope you're all feeling better get your blanket and I will talk to you later
