What's up, folks? Welcome to the WIPP podcast. I'm your host, Will Lomit, the founder and CEO of Woop,

where we are on a mission to unlock human performance. This is a big theme right now. COVID-19,

unfortunately we're seeing a second wave, maybe a third wave, depending on how you look at it.

And we've got world-renowned COVID-19 expert Dr. Nicholas Christ we're seeing a second wave, maybe a third wave, depending on how you look at it.

And we've got world-renowned COVID-19 expert Dr. Nicholas Christakis.

He returns to share everything you need to know about this new wave, the vaccines,

and how long it's going to take until things return to normal.

Nicholas joined us in March, episode 66, to really predict a lot of what's played out with COVID-19. I mean, it's not surprising. He's dedicated his life's work to understanding

public health disease and how pandemic shape our world. So there's no surprise that he's been on

top of this. But it's pretty amazing just to see

how it's played out. And this conversation was really, really insightful. Nicholas also just

wrote the book, Apollo's Arrow, the profound and enduring impact of coronavirus on the way we live.

And I believe that's going to be one of the most important books written about

COVID-19 and this crazy time that we live in. Nicholas and I discuss on this podcast, the state of the

pandemic as we endure a spike in cases across the country. Just how many people could die from

this condition in the United States alone. He previewed 500,000 to a million

people, unbelievable. How many people need to be immune for us to reach herd immunity?

Reflecting on things that the government did well and didn't do well over the course of the year,

the development of vaccines, and why they're not an instant fix.

And what a post-pandemic world could look like, which for those of you looking for some optimism,

a post-pandemic world does sound really fun from what we've learned from previous pandemics.

I think this is a must-listen to episode.
