00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,800


2
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,160
MATT FORTE: There--
maybe I'm cynical,

3
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,470
but I believe there's
got to be more than that.

4
00:00:04,470 --> 00:00:05,730
DREW PINSKY: Oh,
way more, way more.

5
00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:06,990
MATT FORTE: Should I be
panicked about the idea

6
00:00:06,990 --> 00:00:08,100
there's clearly more cases.

7
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:08,900
DREW PINSKY: No.

8
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:10,690
Let's say there are
5,000 in New York--

9
00:00:10,690 --> 00:00:11,490
MATT FORTE: Let's say--

10
00:00:11,490 --> 00:00:13,030
DREW PINSKY: --reasonably.

11
00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:15,850
That does not get anywhere
near the number of flu cases

12
00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:17,280
that you could be exposed to.

13
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,960
And you are more
likely to die of flu.

14
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,370
You're as likely.

15
00:00:20,370 --> 00:00:22,515
We don't know the fatality rate
yet fully from the coronavirus,

16
00:00:22,515 --> 00:00:24,580
but it's going to
be around the flu.

17
00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:28,203
You're more likely to die
of that statistically.

18
00:00:28,203 --> 00:00:29,070
MATT FORTE: Statistically.

19
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:30,670
DREW PINSKY: Now, if you
get one or the other,

20
00:00:30,670 --> 00:00:32,610
they have about the
same fatality rate.

21
00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:35,130
Let's say corona ends up
twice what the flu is.

22
00:00:35,130 --> 00:00:36,330
A young healthy
person-- that's not

23
00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:37,363
going to make a big difference.

24
00:00:37,363 --> 00:00:38,880
MATT FORTE: Fair enough.
DREW PINSKY: So don't panic.

25
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,970
MATT FORTE: OK, well, there's
plenty of other things

26
00:00:39,970 --> 00:00:40,770
for me to panic about.

27
00:00:40,770 --> 00:00:42,180
DREW PINSKY: You
have panic disorder?

28
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:43,117
We can talk about that.

29
00:00:43,117 --> 00:00:44,650
MATT FORTE: I don't know
if I have a disorder.

30
00:00:44,650 --> 00:00:45,330
DREW PINSKY: Well,
it's sounding like it.

31
00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:46,663
MATT FORTE: Well, I'm
in my 30s in 2020,

32
00:00:46,663 --> 00:00:47,640
and shit's about to hit.

33
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,660
That's just the world.

34
00:00:48,660 --> 00:00:50,250
DREW PINSKY: Well,
this is-- so this

35
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:51,670
is another 20-minute
conversation,

36
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:54,400
which is panic is--

37
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,150
everything is hysteria,
everything today.

38
00:00:57,150 --> 00:00:59,880
And I'm very
concerned about that.

39
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,370
This little outbreak
taught me something

40
00:01:02,370 --> 00:01:03,920
about the general tone here.

41
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,630
I did a-- I had an AM radio
show for about five years.

42
00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:08,250
And towards the last
couple of years,

43
00:01:08,250 --> 00:01:11,040
every day I was saying, what's
your hair on fire about today?

44
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,540
Your hair's always on
fire about something.

45
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:15,540
Every time I turn on
cable news, hair on fire.

46
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:18,120
I can't remember what any
of it was, because nothing--

47
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,890
none of it was anything.

48
00:01:19,890 --> 00:01:23,890
And this is having real
effect on people's lives.

49
00:01:23,890 --> 00:01:25,560
We are losing supply chain.

50
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,370
We're losing jobs.

51
00:01:26,370 --> 00:01:27,610
We're losing businesses.

52
00:01:27,610 --> 00:01:30,310
And that is unconscionable.

53
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:31,410
It's reprehensible.

54
00:01:31,410 --> 00:01:33,030
So we got to get
control of the people

55
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:34,390
that are fanning the hysteria.

56
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:35,190
MATT FORTE: Yeah.
