Summary
Biochemical Engineer and Complex Problem Solving Specialist Ivor Cummins talks about the conclusions he's come to based on Covid data. At Spartan, we do the hard things. Today that means tackling a difficult conversation. Joe De Sena invited Ivor to share his information with you. Please, listen all the way through, give it some thought, and then let us know what he got right, and what he got wrong. Two things we can ALL agree on - we need to have open discussion and review of the data, and we should all be getting exercise, eating healthy, and getting outside.

| 1:29.2 | open mind. What we're going to focus on is his guest I had Ivor Cummins. I found him on the |
| 1:35.2 | worldwide web. He sits over an island. He is a biochemist. He's a big thinker. He's done a bunch of analysis over the years for large companies to solve complex |
