Gambling is no longer limited to Vegas casinos—today, it is as easy as a few taps on a mobile device.

In the Q&A, Bristow has an update on the number of measles cases in the U.S., if there is a link between brain damage and COVID-19, and whether or not a tech millionaire’s quest to live forever is realistic.
