Video: Prof Michael Osterholm on the Coronavirus



I am in the process of watching this interview and sharing it as so far it is very interesting and certainly worth watching. There is a lot we do not know about the Coronavirus and the more we can find out the better. A friend who brought it to my attention recommended it as "It shows how much the capitalist class is down-playing the whole issue of Coronavirus, which on a world scale might have revolutionary consequences, or at least unpredictable political consequences".


Here in the US where the sports has been pretty much shut down, and the government has banned all travel from Europe to the US we are witnessing something I have never experienced in my lifetime. It will certainly lead to a slump and is already having an unprecedented effect on the global economy. Check it out for yourself.
