From the Asgard Company Studios in beautiful Wichita Falls, Texas, from the finest mind in the modern fitness industry, the one true voice in the strength and conditioning profession, the most important podcast on the Internet.

Ladies and gentlemen, Starting Strength strength radio welcome back to starting

strength radio it's Friday and so are we and again we're here with our friend

John Horgan John's a science writer he writes occasionally for Scientific American

various other places.

Wherever they'll have him, he'll go.

And we had John on several weeks ago talking about cancer, and I enjoyed the discussion so much that I called him today, and I said, what the hell are you doing this afternoon?

And he said, oh, you know, several important things.

And I said, would you talk to me instead?

And he said, eh, all right, what the hell?

So here we are.

I don't, I haven't even discussed this with John.

So this might be a real interesting discussion. I wanted to talk to him about the current

situation with COVID-19. John being a science writer, is going to have informed opinions about a couple of different aspects of this.

And I want to know what he thinks about the disease,

and I want to know what he thinks about the economic ramifications of this thing.

So we're going to talk about the whole thing.

John, thanks for being with us today.

Sure.

My pleasure, Mark.

So we were just talking a minute ago about there is a paper been released.

It was last Friday, I think it was published, or the pre-publicate. It hadn't been reviewed yet.
