Is It Time To Turn America Back On?

These days social media is a hot mess of disputes about the extent of the corona virus. Maybe it’s time to Turn America Back On. Who wants to be first? Learn more in Turn-America-Back-On-Bob Davis Podcast 918.

Corona Is A Partisan Football

It’s most noteworthy now that a virus which doesn’t care who you are or what political party you like, has become a partisan football.

Social Media Is The Real Pandemic

Especially relevant is the question of whether Social Media is the real pandemic.

Heavy Stress

Moreover we’re all under stress. I don’t feel anxious or depressed but one never knows.

Endless and Useless Arguments

Certainly our levels of anxiety and stress are amplified by endless arguments on Facebook and Twitter. Is there a cure? Could the models be wrong? Is this tyranny? Will the economy bounce back? Should we turn America back on? Everyone’s talking about it!

My Video Beats Your Meme!

No one really knows for sure. But that guy on Facebook does and he has a video from another guy to prove it.

Facebook Is Real Bro!

First of all I’m amazed that people who consider anything from the so called main stream media is fake news, completely believe a meme on social media.

End The Bickering

I think it’s time to end this ridiculous bickering.

End Social Distancing

Finally the only way we’ll ever really know if social distancing works is to end it. Fire up the lights. Action please!

Go Back To Work

Do you think it’s time to turn America back on, and go back to work?

Lock Down, Stress, Relax

First of all it is spring in the Upper Midwest. Even more that calls for a Walk and Talk Podcast. Just a short time ago we were living our best lives. Now we’re in lock down. Time to relax and think of it as just a game. Learn more in Relax-Its-Just-A-Game-Bob Davis Podcast 916.

Stress Levels Redlining

These days stress levels are through the roof.

Stress Can Be A Silent Killer

In addition as stress increases we might not be aware of it.

Crisis From Distant Shores

I think it’s hard to believe just a short time ago we were running around doing our thing, oblivious to a silent crisis making its way to us from distant shores.

Social Media Isn’t Real

Certainly we’re spending way too much time with all kinds of media. Especially social media. The angst and intensity flowing through our veins isn’t real though. At least it doesn’t feel real on a warm spring night. I talk about how to dial down the stress in Relax-Its-Just-A-Game-Bob Davis Podcast 916.

Trump Changes Tone

In contrast the president suddenly says the first few weeks of April are going to the toughest on us, as a nation.

Worst Effects Haven’t Hit

Furthermore the economic effects of the corona crisis haven’t hit yet. Some analysts are predicting steep drops in economic output. Others are predicting huge increases in unemployment.

Human Costs and Sacrifice

Above all there will be human costs to the sacrifices we have had to make, and to the economic slow down. I’ve detailed what it might look like on a recent podcast you can find here.

Pretending It’s A Game Might Help

As the result of all these present and short term future difficulties I know I have to shift gears and prepare for the worst. It may not feel like a game, but it’s easier to parse it out and remain calm if we play it like one.

Additional Thoughts and Observations

Covid-Chaos-Denial-Observations-Bob Davis Podcast 914 consolidates some thoughts and observations from the earlier podcasts in the series.

What I have Not Said

I certainly will tell you in this podcast what I have not said in the series.

So Far Very Little Bloviating

I think it’s most noteworthy that I have not bloviated on medical and statistical explanations the way some media charlatans have. On the other hand I will share some stories.

Details On Spreading Dread

In conclusion the second half of this podcast explores some of the details about the spread of Coronavirus and the potential economic effects. One of the things I’ve noticed is despite the tools we have, many people are at a loss when it comes to fact checking what is being said.

I’d like To Order A Miracle Please

Above all I will say that I believe we are just at the beginning of a nationwide crisis only a miracle will save us from.

As I have said from the get go…Time Will Tell

(Editor’s Note: This is obviously a fast moving story. Every now and then I misspeak or get a fact wrong. It really bothers me when I do, especially when it comes to arithmetic or something I should have known. I apologize for those mistakes in advance. I think right now, it’s better to get the content up than to be worried about everything being exactly right. On the other hand I’m pretty confident of my observations in general.)
