That was one of the themes that I kept coming back to, which is that like panic is potentially as big of a problem as the actual disease itself. And I guess I was kind of telling myself that.

You're listening to War College, a weekly podcast that brings you the stories from behind the

front lines.

Here are your hosts. Hello, welcome to War College. I am your host Matthew Galt. Normally I have a written

intro here up at the top or kind of go down points but we're living in odd times and I decided I kind of wanted to speak off the cuff to you the listeners.

As I'm sure all of you are aware we are in the middle of a pandemic, actually probably more likely at the beginning of a pandemic.

By the time you hear this, don't know how bad or how much better things could get.

One thing I do know is that a couple times in our life we are going to

live through moments of great change and I think we are in the middle of one of those organic at the beginning of one of those now

And we a lot of us don't know what's going to happen including stupid podcasters

There are smart people that think they know a little bit about what's going to happen but there's so many variables and so unknowns

with this thing that you know we don't know what our life is going to be like in a year and how it's going to have changed.

But I know that we'll get through it because we tend to get through these things.

And here to help us work through some of that panic and

some of that fear is Mike Pearl. Pearl is a journalist whose work has appeared in

vice, the outline, the all, and the Hollywood reporter.

He is also the author of the book, The Day It Finally Happens, Alien Contact, Dinosaur Parks,

and other possible phenomena.
