Question #1: Predicting the Pandemic ()[edit]

Since I am still a relatively new listener, I have been working my way through older podcasts. I just listened to podcast #117 (from 2007/10/17). That interview with Dr. Mark Crislip was downright scary. I had to consciously remind myself that it was over 10 years old, which actually made it worse. If I had that kind of presentiment, it would depress the hell out of me. - Jack, Chicago Area
