Summary

On March 11, 2020, people all over the world were thrust into a new reality when the coronavirus was declared a global pandemic. It was as if the globe had ground to a halt as businesses closed, schools shuttered, and stay-at-home orders emptied city streets. Thousands of lives have been lost; all lives have been changed.

Over the past two months, despite these uncertain and unprecedented circumstances, there have been shining examples of goodness and triumphs of the human spirit solidifying the fact that we as a species are both adaptable and resilient. Scientists around the globe have aligned their focus to find solutions to this challenge of historic proportions, and groundbreaking discoveries have been made. Everyday, we continue to make progress in quelling the impact of this virus and protecting our loved ones at risk.

Unfortunately, much of the COVID-19 news comes to us clouded by the business of mass media which built momentum selling us a narrative of fear.

In this episode, Tony goes on a journey to uncover the truth about coronavirus with a 7-person panel of highly qualified researchers, an experienced epidemiologist, a Nobel Laureate, and M.D.s testing and treating patients on the frontlines. Together, they reveal the evidence-based research that has come to light and the emerging facts that you're not hearing in the headlines that are absolutely crucial in shaping decisions about how to move forward.

This is one of the most important interviews that Tony has conducted in his 40+ year career. It reminds us to stand guard at the door of our mind, practice discernment when determining trustworthy sources, and think critically for ourselves in order to stay flexible and maintain the ability to pivot in light of new information – especially when lives depend on it.

Podcast panelists in this episode include:

Dr. Michael Levitt, PhD, Nobel Prize – Chemistry; Professor of Structural Biology, Stanford University
Dr. Eran Bendavid, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Stanford University
Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D., Chief Wellness Officer Emeritus, Cleveland Clinic

0:00.0	Hi everybody, it's Tony Robbins. This may be one of the more important podcasts we've
0:09.7	done. We all know we're living in extraordinarily intense times. The most intense and most of
0:14.5	us have experienced at least in our adult lives. And I first want to put a shout out to
0:19.4	all the first responders, all the doctors and the nurses, all the truck drivers, all the
0:25.1	people that are working in food service, all the people that are allowing us to function
0:28.1	in this country and around the world and I put themselves on the line. I know you
0:32.4	aren't, I am all grateful to them and they're in our prayers every single day. The challenge
0:37.1	that we're experiencing today or intense as we've ever seen and you know the the challenges
0:42.3	not only people are dying but people are dying alone. Families can't visit with their
0:47.1	family members because of understanding of the virus and our concerns about how it could
0:52.2	spread. And we're living in a world where quite frankly we've made decisions that are
0:56.8	also affecting not just the people that have already passed away but also are going to
1:02.4	affect people in the future and also the ways we've responded to this virus are having
1:08.5	gigantic effects around the world. Most of you know that I work in helping people to be
1:12.5	fed primarily because I'm such a good person but because when I was 11 years old and we
1:16.4	had no food and Thanksgiving my family was fed so I fed two families and four and eight
1:21.3	and over the years grew to millions of people and in the last five years we fed a half
1:25.2	a billion meals to my partnership with eating America. I committed to a billion meals over
1:28.9	10 years. I'm doing that but I bring that up because hunger is not a concept for me.
1:34.2	And most people focus on for short time whatever the media focuses on right now obviously
1:40.4	it's it's COVID-19 but there are people over the world that are having all kinds of challenges
