Hello and welcome to episode 239 of the Thinking All Set podcast in Los Angeles I'm

Nathan Fox with me in Vienna

Virginia Ben Olson Ben any updates from the quarantine yeah we just got notified

yesterday or the day before that the Virginia governor has

shut down schools for the rest of the year it's not that much of a surprise but it is

final now yeah seems like everything's shutting down for the foreseeable future.

The spread of the virus is really not slowing.

And even if it does start to slow, all that does is indicate that we need to keep doing what we've been doing to keep our health care system from being overrun.

Yeah. I had to go in for an emergency root canal the other day and yeah and I was in like a

lot of pain and does that mean you have a cavity in your root?

I don't even know.

Yeah, it just means that you, the cavity got deep enough that it like got to the

root or your tooth basically died. It was actually a tooth that I had a crown on already.

And apparently what happens is they sometimes just die, like your tooth just dies.

And so then it gets like infected and then it starts to hurt like a lot and I needed to go in for like an emergency you know dental surgery.

Yeah and I immediately was feeling the importance of keeping things, keeping this virus under control.

The dentist already was only seeing one patient at a time, you know, so normally they got

multiple chairs going and you know they can prep people at the same time as they're

working on other people, but it was much harder to get the appointment, it took longer to get the appointment.

It took longer to get the appointment, you know,

and then everybody in there is like on red alert

about not getting the virus.
