Bob Wachter, MD and Andy Slavitt, MBA, on the Past, Present, and Future of COVID-19
i think we're really early on our path,toward transformation and disruption and,so the hope of the day is you get a,sense from really some world leading,speakers what's happening why it's,happening where life is going to take us,and leave with a sense of a little bit,of disquiet because there's going to be,a lot of change but also some optimism,that that we can actually reach a better,place and that's the goal,so um,with andy i thought we would best uh,divide our time half,covid,and half sort of non-coveted and the,system beyonce is that all right half,monkey box,no no,very little monkey pucks and by the way,andy you had coven a couple of weeks ago,yes it is i assume your rapid test is,negative because here i'm sitting next,to you without a mask i'm all good good,okay terrific never better all right so,welcome thank you for thank you for,coming great to be here and you know,like i came here,uh a big admirer of bob's i think bob's,what i call,a health care citizen meaning he doesn't,think you don't just think for your,institution or for yourself,you do a great job thinking they have,everybody but now i'm a big fan of,richards because i think the um for,anybody had to do what he did this,morning,this sort of um,almost renaissance person's,perspective,on healthcare from high to low,with data,with truth with objectivity,um,is a really good grounding and i think,you know,at its basis,you know the the biggest pandemic we,have going right now is probably,misinformation distrust disinformation,and so,i'm attracted and i think we all should,be to reliable,high integrity,people in conversations like i think you,guys started so hopefully we'll continue,it yeah good good i think you called,that right i've learned a lot about,leadership from working with richard for,now close to a decade so you got to see,a slice of it today,uh,once you so you had covid you you dodged,it for two and a half years you had it a,couple of weeks ago what'd you learn,from the experience of having it that,you didn't know i think a couple things,one is that,you know ba 5 can find a hole in all of,our stories,so there's the the variants that are,getting,increasingly more clever if you could,put human terms on these variants um it,makes it,incredibly hard unless you're going to,live a completely risk-free existence,which you know except in the most,extreme cases i don't recommend i don't,think any of us recommend um,the second thing is that with all of the,biotechnology that's occurred over the,last couple of years it is very,different,to have coveted today than it is two,years ago it's extremely different uh,you know we're talking about things like,bounce backs we're talking about very um,narrow optimization fields as opposed to,a couple years ago when we're talking,about overcrowded hospitals and and the,like and i think we are on a path,where,where it will get it will get,increasingly like that um,still i think and i wrote a piece in the,atlantic last week um that we are in a,rut,uh this is like relates a little less to,me than to everybody where where we,don't we don't see,how the egg how the path improves,dramatically from here and there's a,couple of ways that that could happen,and then i learned,as you as you know,that the practice of medicine on this is,still very early,and there's a huge variation and,um the i went to a wonderfully wonder,wonderful doctor who sees lots and lots,of covert patients,who prescribed me about five things of,which um i think i needed one of them,and the other four,were either,and i called i called bob actually and,said bob hey what do you think i'm,getting,these things prescribed to me i don't,know whether they make sense and you,said in the kindest possible way you,know they don't make sense don't take,them,and that was a bit of a surprise uh at,this stage and in fact you and i just,did an episode which we released,yesterday with a checklist on,you know what actually the evidence says,to do,when you get coveted and it's amazing,how many people out there just don't,know,where to go and what to do yeah,you mentioned that it's increasingly,hard to hide you're still being pretty,careful at least you were until you got,it,do you think that's a waste of time and,energy at this point and it's it's it's,you know because a lot of people are,fatalistic about this a lot of people,maybe,maybe most of you,without the requirement are going in,indoor places without mass and sort of,like maybe not even worth trying to,dodge it what do you think about that,now maybe one of the best things we can,do,is to adopt a posture there's no wrong,answers,for individuals i mean look if you're,putting someone else at risk and you're,being reckless i think that's wrong,that's my own value judgment but,but other than that i think we ought to,take a step back,and stop saying,you know we gotta stop with the sneering,stop with the dirty look stop the she's,wearing a mask he's not wearing a mask,and and and,arriving at value judgments,um let it
