Summary

In this episode, I welcome my friend Joshua Melching who currently resides in Shanghai to hear from someone who is beginning the return to normal life after Coronavirus. He shares his story from when the virus first began in December, his experience traveling to the US and back, and the quarantine/lockdown provisions in place in Shanghai. Then, he offers some optimistic and experience-based advice for lockdowns to bring light to the uncertain weeks ahead in the US.
