| 0:00.0 | We've got a must watch episode for you today. |
| 0:03.1 | So we've got an all-around genius, a biophysics expert from Silicon Valley, who has worked with some of the top immunologists in the field over the past many years. |
| 0:12.7 | And he's going to bring us through the immune system and how it pertains to this current coronavirus issue and explain how it's not as people are viewing it at the moment, |
| 0:24.1 | even the experts. So how the immune system works, how we become immune, and what that means for |
| 0:30.2 | this elusive concept, vilified concept even, of herd immunity. So the only thing we'd ask as usual is you could download or stream and certainly share |

| 1:24.7 | Anyway, and I think it's only June 5th here, where I am, we're many |
| 1:29.1 | hours apart right now. And anyway, so yeah, I am going to be talking about immunology today, |
| 1:36.2 | but I have to caveat this with, I'm not a professional immunologist, although I have |
| 1:40.2 | collaborated with several of them. I am a professional applied physicist and aerospace engineer. |
| 1:46.4 | I worked at NASA for over 35 years on a whole variety of projects, |
