00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.800 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:02.160 align:middle line:84%
MATT FORTE: There--
maybe I'm cynical,

00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:04.470 align:middle line:84%
but I believe there's
got to be more than that.

00:00:04.470 --> 00:00:05.730 align:middle line:84%
DREW PINSKY: Oh,
way more, way more.

00:00:05.730 --> 00:00:06.990 align:middle line:84%
MATT FORTE: Should I be
panicked about the idea

00:00:06.990 --> 00:00:08.100 align:middle line:90%
there's clearly more cases.

00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:08.900 align:middle line:90%
DREW PINSKY: No.

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:10.690 align:middle line:84%
Let's say there are
5,000 in New York--

00:00:10.690 --> 00:00:11.490 align:middle line:90%
MATT FORTE: Let's say--

00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:13.030 align:middle line:90%
DREW PINSKY: --reasonably.

00:00:13.030 --> 00:00:15.850 align:middle line:84%
That does not get anywhere
near the number of flu cases

00:00:15.850 --> 00:00:17.280 align:middle line:90%
that you could be exposed to.

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:18.960 align:middle line:84%
And you are more
likely to die of flu.

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:20.370 align:middle line:90%
You're as likely.

00:00:20.370 --> 00:00:22.515 align:middle line:84%
We don't know the fatality rate
yet fully from the coronavirus,

00:00:22.515 --> 00:00:24.580 align:middle line:84%
but it's going to
be around the flu.

00:00:24.580 --> 00:00:28.203 align:middle line:84%
You're more likely to die
of that statistically.

00:00:28.203 --> 00:00:29.070 align:middle line:90%
MATT FORTE: Statistically.

00:00:29.070 --> 00:00:30.670 align:middle line:84%
DREW PINSKY: Now, if you
get one or the other,

00:00:30.670 --> 00:00:32.610 align:middle line:84%
they have about the
same fatality rate.

00:00:32.610 --> 00:00:35.130 align:middle line:84%
Let's say corona ends up
twice what the flu is.

00:00:35.130 --> 00:00:36.330 align:middle line:84%
A young healthy
person-- that's not

00:00:36.330 --> 00:00:37.363 align:middle line:90%
going to make a big difference.

00:00:37.363 --> 00:00:38.880 align:middle line:84%
MATT FORTE: Fair enough.
DREW PINSKY: So don't panic.

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:39.970 align:middle line:84%
MATT FORTE: OK, well, there's
plenty of other things

00:00:39.970 --> 00:00:40.770 align:middle line:90%
for me to panic about.

00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:42.180 align:middle line:84%
DREW PINSKY: You
have panic disorder?

00:00:42.180 --> 00:00:43.117 align:middle line:90%
We can talk about that.

00:00:43.117 --> 00:00:44.650 align:middle line:84%
MATT FORTE: I don't know
if I have a disorder.

00:00:44.650 --> 00:00:45.330 align:middle line:84%
DREW PINSKY: Well,
it's sounding like it.

00:00:45.330 --> 00:00:46.663 align:middle line:84%
MATT FORTE: Well, I'm
in my 30s in 2020,

00:00:46.663 --> 00:00:47.640 align:middle line:90%
and shit's about to hit.

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:48.660 align:middle line:90%
That's just the world.

00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:50.250 align:middle line:84%
DREW PINSKY: Well,
this is-- so this

00:00:50.250 --> 00:00:51.670 align:middle line:84%
is another 20-minute
conversation,

00:00:51.670 --> 00:00:54.400 align:middle line:90%
which is panic is--

00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:57.150 align:middle line:84%
everything is hysteria,
everything today.

00:00:57.150 --> 00:00:59.880 align:middle line:84%
And I'm very
concerned about that.

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.370 align:middle line:84%
This little outbreak
taught me something

00:01:02.370 --> 00:01:03.920 align:middle line:90%
about the general tone here.

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.630 align:middle line:84%
I did a-- I had an AM radio
show for about five years.

00:01:06.630 --> 00:01:08.250 align:middle line:84%
And towards the last
couple of years,

00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:11.040 align:middle line:84%
every day I was saying, what's
your hair on fire about today?

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.540 align:middle line:84%
Your hair's always on
fire about something.

00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:15.540 align:middle line:84%
Every time I turn on
cable news, hair on fire.

00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:18.120 align:middle line:84%
I can't remember what any
of it was, because nothing--

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:19.890 align:middle line:90%
none of it was anything.

00:01:19.890 --> 00:01:23.890 align:middle line:84%
And this is having real
effect on people's lives.

00:01:23.890 --> 00:01:25.560 align:middle line:90%
We are losing supply chain.

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:26.370 align:middle line:90%
We're losing jobs.

00:01:26.370 --> 00:01:27.610 align:middle line:90%
We're losing businesses.

00:01:27.610 --> 00:01:30.310 align:middle line:90%
And that is unconscionable.

00:01:30.310 --> 00:01:31.410 align:middle line:90%
It's reprehensible.

00:01:31.410 --> 00:01:33.030 align:middle line:84%
So we got to get
control of the people

00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:34.390 align:middle line:90%
that are fanning the hysteria.

00:01:34.390 --> 00:01:35.190 align:middle line:90%
MATT FORTE: Yeah.

00:01:35.190 --> 00:01:38.840 align:middle line:90%
