Emergency episode: Rob & Howie on the menace of COVID-19, and what both governments & individuals might be able to do to help

  Hours ago from home isolation Rob and Howie recorded an episode on:

  1. How many could die in the crisis, and the risk to your health personally.
  2. What individuals might be able to do to help tackle the coronavirus crisis.
  3. What we suspect governments should do in response to the coronavirus crisis.
  4. The importance of personally not spreading the virus, the properties of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and how you can personally avoid it.
  5. The many places society screwed up, how we can avoid this happening again, and why be optimistic.

We have rushed this episode out to share information as quickly as possible in a fast-moving situation. A rough transcript is available below.

See our ‘problem profile’ on global catastrophic biological risks for information on these grave risks and how you can contribute to preventing them.

We are also preparing a COVID-19 landing page on our site.
