In this episode Chunks (Keith Phillip) and I discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and its possible implications for a post-pandemic world. In addition to being a Marine Corps Officer, Chunks is also a Lieutenant in a large metro-area fire department. Which puts him squarely on the front lines in this crisis. Not surprising to me, since Chunks is the kind of person who has always sought to put himself on the front lines of crisis. Whether it’s the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, or running into a burning building, and now out there serving the public during a global pandemic. While most of us have been stuck at home, Chunks’ schedule has changed very little, in fact he’s gotten busier. We talk about the psyche required to go out every day and be in close contact with the public, knowing that the risk of exposure is so much higher. He is very candid about what he’s seeing and how that compares to the characterizations depicted in legacy media outlets. We discuss the response to the pandemic and what it means for us as a society. Finally, we discuss some of the future possibilities for a post-pandemic world, and we agree that this event will have major implications for humanity going forward.
