If your for seeking out the good amid the darkness these days, this episode's for you. The doctors are in! And while the prognosis ain't great, we're gonna do what we can! First up is our friend Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who keeps us up to date on all things CoViD. Then we're joined by Glenn Loury, the legendary Professor of Economics at Brown University and also the creator of one of America's most essential substack newletters. He and the guys discuss our country's disheartening racial climate, and yet manage to find some encouraging signs. Chin up and happy summer, everyone.

EGG-ON-FACE CORRECTION:
Toward the beginning of the podcast, I mention that the population of Gaza is about a million. Turns out I was off by 100 percent, not a small proportion: The correct figure is two million. Regrets.
