How can we return to work without spurring a second surge of coronavirus infection? Biologist Uri Alon shares a thought-provoking strategy: four days at work followed by 10 days of lockdown, a cycle that would exploit a weakness in the virus's biology and potentially cut its reproductive rate to a manageable level. Learn more about this approach — which has already been adopted by both companies and countries — and how it could be a key to reopening the economy responsibly. (This virtual conversation, hosted by head of TED Chris Anderson and science curator David Biello, was recorded on May 20, 2020.)

Office space is becoming obsolete
That’s a good thing. It’s over priced anyway.

I will never open my business until I get immunity against law suits by shark lawyers who are all lining up. I have had to battle enough BS litigation.
How about instead we discussed the connection between agenda 21 and event 201
You got that straight.
I am surprised that this comment has not been deleted.

Uri attack’
I think it is good idea!!!
Could you please interview Neil Ferguson of Imperial College, London?
I am so sick of this quarantine
Seems sensible and in line with latest research, to me. Listen, guys, we want new ideas! Don’t be down on an idea just because it’s novel. Some comments on here strike me as just rude, which to me isn’t helpful.
What’s the evidence that coronavirus can’t spread for 3 days. Can literally anyone provide a scientific reference that isn’t an article for this?
yes.
Could have followed this 3 months ago? Oh right, no one follows anything, thats why we are still here.
Economics is a fascinating subject!
