All right, everyone, bringing in Pat mail. You guys are probably listening to this show on his podcast, but you also could be listening to this on the take cast podcast feed as well.

I am here with Pat. We're doing the corona cast. I think is what we call it. We're on Thursday, Friday, afternoons. We just we link up, we chat, we check on how each other are doing. We see how things have progressing. Where is this is a question I've been asking some of my buddies, just like where's your, where's your panic meter or where's your, your optimism meter. So one is completely optimistic. We're going to get through this. 10 is full on. This is the end of Western civilization.

We're one to 10. Where are you? Oh, I'm a one on the panic meter. I think that we're going to get through this. Everything's going to be fine. It's just going to take some time.

It's going to take some time. This is true. Like this is a, I mean, I'm not a one for sure. Like this isn't a, it's better in two weeks kind of thing, but you know, four months from now will come out of it and they just have to make sure not to blow it by celebrating too early. It feels like I mean, one of the topics I had written down to talk to you about her.

It's like twofold one. You see all these doctors out there tweeting stuff, but then you get like confused about like who's a doctor and who's an MD. Like I believe in MDs on this sort of stuff, but there's a lot of people like I have a, like if it was basically if cussed was out there tweeting cussed is exactly like political science.

Like I don't really care about the political scientist medical advice, but you put doctor in front of people's names and they're like, oh, they're a doctor. They must know what's going on. And that's a lot. Not the case. And I get really confused about like what I should be doing what I don't do because I read so much stuff.

And then at the end of the day, I can't parse was a good information or bat like was it some random dude saying it like they say that if you lose your ability to smell and taste things that could be a sign of coronavirus.

Now I don't know if that's true or not. I can't remember who told me.

That seems to be something that people who.

Like people who have given firsthand accounts of having had coronavirus like that seems to be something that they report like I don't know if that is if medical doctors expected like MDs.

I don't know if they expected it to be a symptom of the coronavirus, but it seems to be like like Rufus. I believe set like what Rufus P body who is actually a former guest of the take cast had the coronavirus.

And I believe that he reported that he also reported a weird symptom where he had like extreme sensitivity to light like extreme light sensitivity headaches, which I thought was.

I thought that was just like a really bizarre symptom. There is of course though like loads of misinformation out there. There's always ways for people to profit on misinformation.

And I got to say this this gal doctor doctor berks out out on her out on her. She she doesn't know anything. I thought maybe for a while she was a voice of stability, but yeah, just she doesn't know what's going on.

So when they do these daily press conferences from the White House doctor doctor.

The Italian last name I don't want to say it's I'll say I don't know if it's doctor Fauci or whatever they banned him. He doesn't get to come out anymore because he was too doom and gloom.

And then so doctor berks was a little bit less doom and gloom. I think her name is Susan. And she was getting to speak to the people as the you know the official doctor of the White House or whatever.

And then yesterday during her press conference, she was like, oh, actually, you know, Donald Trump, he's got a he's got a great mind for for data and numbers and science coming from, you know, how successful he was in business.

And it became clear that the only reason that this woman is allowed to come to these press conferences and you know on TV is because she somehow found a way to make Trump feel important, right? Like that's that's that's our only skill.

And so I just we can't we can't trust her anymore.

Yeah, I I don't watch those. So I'm I'm out of the loop on what's going on with Trump press conferences these days.

I try and I try and watch a few minutes of them just to get a sense. And I mean, as we mentioned the last time we did the show, they they seem to have a huge impact on the stock market like literally like every time every time he talks it.
