Dr. Michael Corrado has been on the front line of the United States's fight against bioterrorism, having worked with BARDA for 15 years to eradicate smallpox. Dr. Corrado and Scott Melker discuss why a smallpox pandemic would be exponentially worse, the proper terminology for the coronavirus, how it infects humans, the difference between contamination, infection and disease, how COVID-19 progresses once you catch it, how long the pandemic may last, the issues with testing, and when there will be a vaccine (if ever).

Mark Yusko, CEO of Morgan Creek and Scott Melker discussed a multitude of topics in this whirlwind podcast. They talked about why Bitcoin is the only legitimately uncorrelated asset in the world and the only true free market, why the government should let "zombie companies fail," why Boeing should be shut down, the difference between Cronyism and Capitalism, the problem with stock buy backs, the culpability of the US government in the present economic situation, why stocks are more manipulated than Bitcoin, why Putin is the richest man in the world, and how retail should invest and why they fail. As Mark said, "Human beings do two things really, really well - we buy what we wish we would have bought and sell what we are about to need." They also howled together at the end... --- ROUNDLYX RoundlyX allows you to dollar-cost-average into crypto with our spare change "Roundup" investing tool, manage multiple crypto exchange accounts in one dashboard and access curated digital asset content and services. Visit RoundlyX to learn more about accumulating your favorite digital assets when making everyday purchases. --- VOYAGER This episode is brought to you by Voyager, your new favorite crypto broker.

From Scott Melker - "This episode is likely the most important and unbelievable that I will ever record. I had the honor and fortune to interview Gabriel Jiménez, the mind behind the Venezuelan Petro. Gabriel has always been an active member of the opposition and spent his life protesting the Chavez and Maduro regimes - so how did he end up on stage with Maduro presenting the Petro as it's architect!? I have the entire story and more, including why Bitcoin is essential to every day life in Venezuela. His story was made public recently after 2 years of research by the New York Times. He is still an "enemy of the state" in Venezuela, so he is just feeling remotely safe in the United States and can start sharing his story. This is the only podcast that he has been on. Buckle up." --- ROUNDLYX RoundlyX allows you to dollar-cost-average into crypto with our spare change "Roundup" investing tool, manage multiple crypto exchange accounts in one dashboard and access curated digital asset content and services. Visit RoundlyX to learn more about accumulating your favorite digital assets when making everyday purchases. --- VOYAGER This episode is brought to you by Voyager, your new favorite crypto broker.
