From the talk…

“I have followed the then called Wuhan Virus since the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) site listed less than 20 fatalities. The rise in numbers, together with my direct communication with Wuhan residents – reprogrammed my brain and gave me time to change. Still, I am not sure that my response, while being defensive (e.g., selling stocks), and offensive (e.g., re-aligning my business to 100% virtual) – created enough difference. How to react in such situations is a mental challenge that calls for readjustment of the “operating system.””
