Amazingly it was four years next month that the first stories appeared in the

American news media about a virus spreading through a city in central China

Wu Han. The virus didn't have a name. Over time it was named COVID and it changed world history.

It wasn't that long ago, but we don't talk about it very much anymore in the way that you don't talk about traumatic things that happen to you. But that doesn't mean it's

over and it doesn't mean that huge decisions aren't being made right now that

will affect your life and the lives of your children.

Those decisions are being made. The story is not over and so we thought it would be

worth taking just a moment to explain what that looks like and there's no

better person to do that than Brett Weinstein. He's an evolution in biologist. He

taught at the college level for many years. He's got a fascinating bio which you

should look up because it's an amazing story.

He's now the host with his wife of the Dark Horse Podcast and the author of a best-selling and very excellent book that came out not long ago.

He joins us now.

Brett, great to see you.

It is great to see you.

So instead of peppering you with all kinds of pointed questions,

I want to guide you and sit back mostly

as you tell the story of COVID in condensed form.

What are the outlines of what we know now and where are we going?

What's the next chapter in the story?

Well first let me just respond to something you said up front.

Nobody wants to be thinking about COVID anymore.
