Review for this episode
4 stars for podcast overall so far just because this podcast was overall good and freakonomics gave it a good plug.

If you added up the amount lost from GDP (from the start of social distancing to October 1) would that be a good estimate of the fallout? Or is there more loss than that? And does all that loss add up to less than $8 trillion, which is what this podcast estimates the cost of social distancing to be from start until October 1?
