0:21.1	ExpressVPN.com slash Ben. All righty. So, as always, we begin with our coronavirus numbers update,
0:29.5	because that's, of course, what everybody needs to know. Right now, the United States stands just
0:32.7	over 6,000 deaths from coronavirus yesterday. Was a day in which we lost, according to worldometers. Dot info, which is the same as the Johns Hopkins map. All these stats are basically the same. A little bit under 1,000 people yesterday. That was a little bit fewer than the day before. The day before was like 1,039. So hopefully we are going to start to see this flatten out rather than escalate, although the model suggests that this thing is going to escalate rather wildly up until mid-April, particularly the University
0:58.3	of Washington model suggests that April 15th, and they've now related to April 16th, we'll see

1:33.2	many variables in these equations. And that's not the fault of the people who do the modeling.
1:36.5	The biggest problem here, of course, is that we have to rely on models that have extraordinary
