Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Dr. George Savage is the Chief Medical Officer / Co-Founder at Proteus Digital Health, Inc (full disclosure: he’s also a member of Ricochet’s Board of Directors) and has been closely watching both government’s management of the Corona crisis, the evolution of the testing protocols, and the search for a treatment and ultimately, a vaccine. In this conversation with Rob Long, Dr. Savage takes us through where we’ve been, the current situation, and most importantly, where we’re going later in the year in terms of opening the economy and the chances of a resurgence.

Thx for the pleasant and hopeful tone.
This was great. @roblong, you make a great interviewer. Thanks, @georgesavage.
After that, I feel much better!
Not to open a big Star Trek discussion here (that would be boring), but it occurred to me that when we used to watch Bones detect all kinds of medical info with his portable scanner and wonder how that futuristic device works, the answer is likely that the scanner was simply gathering accumulated data from the medical band aids or implants located on/in the patients.
It would be now. 😉
Didn’t he occasionally use it on aliens, or even animals?
Yep. That’s phasers on kill for that theory.
I say again: That would be boring.
Great interview. Acknowledging what we don’t know and admitting there are tradeoffs. As for Star Trek, shouldn’t we still be calling doctors ‘Bones’ if they’re still going to using the term in Star Date whatever??
It’s short for sawbones.
Indeed. Yet another thing that the “reboot” BS messed up. (Wherein McCoy says that after his divorce, his ex-wife left him with nothing but his bones. Really? In the 23rd century?)
Rob, thank you for the yoeman’s work of interviewing Dr. Savage.
What a great interview! Doc Savage should replace Fauci and Birx in providing us good information with no fearmongering or sensationalism . . .
