Summary

How do we know when something is wrong with us? I want to understand the testing process we have for COVID19. I want to understand "symptomatic" cases vs. "asymptomatic" cases. And who's data should we trust? So I called David Sinclair. He runs The Sinclair Lab at Harvard Medical School and is the New York Bestselling author of “Lifespan: Why We Age―and Why We Don't Have To.” I also want to know how do I build up my immune systems? What steps can I take RIGHT NOW? And how do I keep this going over time? And what's going on with testing for COVID19? What are the numbers? And why are they off? David breaks this down. And he explains which coronavirus tests are bringing us into the future of science and biology. He'll also help you understand who's at risk (everyone). And how to protect yourself. AND how to protect others. Because we're in this together. Also, I’ve been getting great feedback on how these episodes around the coronavirus are helping people make sense in a really confusing time. So thanks for your support.

This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host.

Today on the James Altiger Show.

0:15.0

Our species has never been united globally against one threat.

0:21.0

And it's incredible to see from my perspective we've got scientists who used to fight with each other

0:25.0

or who never talk to each other coming together on panels, on phone calls to try and solve this.

0:32.0

And that's why I'm optimistic that even though this is going to be bad over the next say six months,

0:37.0

we're going to have the scientific breakthroughs and hopefully never let a pandemic like this happen again.

0:42.0

For anyone who's stressed out about this, it's understandable.

0:47.0

I want to go back to what I said earlier James is that humanity is never in its history of going back

0:54.0

500,000 years or more, been united against one problem.

0:59.0

And when we do that, we solve everything.

1:02.0

So we can conquer this. We just need time.

1:04.0

And that's why we need to spread the rate of infection out until we can come up with more of these treatments and eventually a cure.

1:10.0

And James I want to thank you while we're on talk about social media.

1:13.0

I'm following you all the time and I think doing your guests are an invaluable resource.

Thanks. Keep doing what you're doing.

1:19.0

Oh, thanks. Thanks David. I really appreciate it. I've ever since this started.

1:23.0

I've been kind of being in touch with immunologists and doctors and economists on the economic side and just trying to look at both sides of the issue to counter the media hysteria.

1:37.0

Because even if there is a worst case scenario, you kind of don't want to have a hysterical scenario. It's my point of view.

1:44.0

Because I'm always afraid of hysterical eventually turning into historical and I don't want that to happen.

1:50.0

Well, exactly. Well, there's no reason to panic as long as we just do what we're all being told to do.
