In this episode we discuss with Pete Adeney a tweet of his that has sparked controversy and an outcry in the personal finance community.

Interesting discussion. I'm not on twitter, but one thing MMM is missing out on from the fatality statistics are people who have been permanently affected in other ways by COVID(lung damage, stroke, etc.) Similar things could be said for lack of exercise, sugar consumption and poor diet. I was once told that diabetes was the worst disease you could catch, because it was expensive and it won't immediately kill you.

Good reminder to make sustained efforts to stay healthy overall and wear a mask.

I see you've had no replies. There was a little bit of discussion on this topic at page two of this thread:
