This is the audio version of\u00a0The Reason Livestream<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>which\u00a0takes place every Thursday at 1 p.m. Eastern.<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic and the government’s response to it cost\u00a0millions of lives<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0trillions of dollars<\/a>\u00a0and resulted in a major hit to\u00a0global freedom<\/a>. What should governments, private companies, and individuals do differently next time disaster strikes?<\/p>\n

Alec Stapp, co-founder of the\u00a0Institute for Progress<\/a>, has assembled a team devoted to analyzing and applying the lessons of the pandemic. The institute has published papers\u00a0arguing<\/a>\u00a0that Operation Warp Speed was a success that should be duplicated, for greater investment in\u00a0indoor filtration<\/a>, and for better\u00a0biosurveillance<\/a>. Stapp joined\u00a0Reason’<\/i>s Zach Weissmueller and Liz Wolfe\u00a0for a live conversation about how to prevent the next global catastrophe.<\/p>\n
