mmunications and little stuff. Will the next two weeks be as bad as Trump suggests? Well again doesn't it really depend if this hydroxychloroquine works? Because if they started giving it to people I guess three days ago and I don't know what percentage of people are getting it and then at what phase of their symptoms but if we started going a little bit more aggressively on that the next two wee…

you would want we have. So if you can't get it done now you know when can you get it done? So but I am skeptical that you know we could create a lot of jobs that way but it might make people feel like things are going in the right direction. Yeah that whole shovel-ready thing that never seems real to me.

Simulation question. Do other people exist in your simulation or are they just simulated persons to entertain you? Well of course there's no way to know the answer but let me speculate. If we are a simulation we either just live independently as you know you're a simulation and I'm a software simulation too but we could also be avatars that some other creatures are using to experience our game-like world. Now if it's that one where there are avatars who are inhabiting us it could be that some of us have an avatar or some of us have a creature inhabiting us and some of us don't. So that's one possibility. The other possibility is that only one of us is real. Even in the simulation there's only one sort of main character and then everything else is scenery. So that's possible. Or that some of us are real and others are backgrounds and NPCs as they say. So I think any of those are possible. At least you can't prove they're not true.

Mike says can you give us an update on Interface by WhenHub? Well here's the thing it's sort of a perfect tool to be using in this situation. One, my startup has an app called Interface where any expert can sign up to take a phone call and charge for it or not charge for it. So it's the not charge for it if you want to part that's important. So it's a video call with somebody that you can easily find in the app who has expertise and is available for a certain thing. Now it's exactly what you need for telehealth. Experts of all kinds in this situation. But I've just not felt commercial these last several weeks. The thought of selling something even if it's something that people want and just my I don't know I don't have the fire for anything that's just commercial at the moment. My focus is more on the emergency. But that said it is also a perfect tool. So if there are any individual doctors they can just sign up and just you know if they could tweet it out and say I'm on this app and they could charge zero if they want or if they'r

e already socially isolating and you know maybe they tested positive themselves they could just keep being a doctor from home and you wouldn't need any approvals or anything. Just sign up for the app. It's called Interface by WhenHub. All right why haven't you talked about career millionaire politicians who have sold us out to China? I guess the implication being that they're on the payroll or so…
