Dr. Osterholm, welcome back.
Thank you very much.
Very good to see you again.
Good to see you.
It's been basically two years from the day and I think when you were on the podcast for
a lot of my friends, that was the first real fear that they felt about the pandemic.
You scared the shit out of a lot of people.
Well, you know, my job is not to scare anyone out of their wits, to scare them into their
wits and to do what they can to deal with the situation.
As you know, at that time, March 10th of 2020, no one wanted to believe this was going to
be a pandemic.
Yeah, there was a lot of denial about how it was going to play out and people were thinking
that it was inflated or it was not that big of a deal.
And then, like I said, when you came on the podcast that like I got a bunch of calls from
friends like going Jesus.
Yeah, I think the understanding of where we've been, where we're at and where we're going
still, I think isn't really completely clear.
Where we're going in particular, right?
