I just listened to a good Joe Rogan podcast interview with Michael Osterholm, a specialist in infectious diseases,
http://podcasts.joerogan.net/podcasts/michael-osterholm .
It is an interesting wide-ranging informal discussion, not just about novel Covid-19, although there is a lot about that. It is apolitical, an on-topic statement of facts and some personal opinion about the entire area of infectious disease, a strategic overview. For example, Osterholm pointed out several years ago that 95% (or some high number) of the world’s IV bags were manufactured in one place in Puerto Rico. He questioned the wisdom of that, what if a Cat 5 hurricane hit the island? Well, it happened and there was a sudden world-wide shortage of them. He points out other failures of strategic planning to do with lack of stockpiling of some equipment. It's a widespread problem as hospitals and such adopt just-in-time inventory management, which works fine until it doesn't. Osterholm has personal experience with SARS, MERS, etc., he knows the field very well. Towards the end, there is an interesting discussion about Lyme disease and tick migration, about which I knew very little.
It is not a "heavy" scientific talk, it's very conversational, easy to listen to. Just one warning, they are both critical of anti-vaxers.
