Tim mocks the CDC for walking back its warnings about surface transmission after months of frantic grocery scrubbing, then teases the upcoming Ray Kump interview.
- CDC reverses course on surface transmission, admitting the virus doesn't really live on surfaces after months of telling people to sanitize everything
- Tim describes the default CDC approach as making people terrified of everything—not just other people, but desks, elevator buttons, anything
- Surface transmission is actually rather unlikely, though the CDC had people frantically scrubbing groceries for three months based on that fear
- Tim recalls asking Ray Kump how he was doing during quarantine and getting the response: 'I'm no longer in the dark room, I have a sense of time'
