Summary

The Remnant’s British invasion continues as Economist deputy editor Edward Carr joins to provide a perspective on how the pandemic has affected nations beyond the United States. Together, he and Jonah examine how issues such as vaccine skepticism, excess deaths, and pandemic-related insanity vary between countries, all while kvetching vigorously about teachers’ unions and the politics of marmite. Can we trust China’s COVID statistics? Are things as weird in Russia and the U.K. as they are in America? And are we in the early stages of a new Roaring ‘20s? Show Notes: - England prepares to drop COVID restrictions - Boris Johnson’s latest scandal - “There’s no such thing as learning loss” - Steven Brill: “The Rubber Room” - The Remnant with Paul Bloom - Jonah: “Fear and Loathing in the Time of COVID” - Apollo’s Arrow, Nicholas Christakis’ book on pandemic madness - The Remnant with Matt Ridley - The Remnant with Michael Shellenberger Learn more about your ad choices.
