(Interview: John McAfee) Dualities of Destruction

BLOGGER NOTE: This is a mind-blower
It's about 30 minutes of thinking from a different perspective that seriously questions the status quo . . . John McAfee and David DuByne of ADAPT 2030 talk economic damage during the CV, who is benefiting from the lock down, historical cycles of societal change, the media controlling minds of the populace and the Grand Solar Minimum.

How to build and deploy coronavirus testing at unprecedented scale

THURSDAY, APRIL 23RD 2020

Editor’s note: The Economist is making some of its most important coverage of the covid-19 pandemic freely available to readers of The Economist Today, our daily newsletter. To receive it, register here. For our coronavirus tracker and more coverage, see our hub
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes covid-19, is an unobtrusive piece of biological machinery. It spreads parasitically through the respiratory tracts of human beings, often without provoking symptoms in those who carry it. Yet for some, particularly the old, it is deadly. This combination of properties make the pandemic both dangerous and difficult to stop. As of April 22nd it had killed 182,000 people.
