Nat Geo Explorer Spencer Wells Returns; We talk virus mutations and his view on how much the world is about to change

from The Vance Crowe Podcast · host Vance Crowe

National Geographic Explorer and population geneticist Spencer Wells is back.  I respect him tremendously but I love interviewing him because I can't wrap my head around how big his predictions of doom and gloom are regarding Coronavirus.  We talk about the economy, the mutations of the disease, and how society will change.  National Geographic Explorer in Residence and world renown population geneticist Spencer Wells joined Vance Crowe from his hideout in Indonesia where he has decided to wait out Coronavirus.  We discuss if blood types matter, how past civilizations faced pandemics, when to lift the quarantine and what will happen if hunger spreads as a result of the disease (or the cure).During our first jarring discussion, I made personal decisions about preparing for the future- following this interview, I am really starting to wonder what the world will look like.  To follow Spencer check out his blog: https://medium.com/@spwells/the-moyo-diaries-1-d14c0cd10aab Spencer Wells on Twitter: https://twitter.com/spwells Vance Crowe on Twitter: @VanceCroweThis is the 41st interview in the ongoing series of Coronavirus perspectives. I believe that society will have the rules re-written when we come out of this global pandemic and it is important to hear how various individuals and industries are handling themselves amidst the crisis.  This series seeks to reveal many perspectives that will otherwise be ignored by both mainstream media and you might not see on your social media channels.  I believe that the Overton-Window will be wide open and new rules are going to be created about how we operate in a post Coronavirus world.
