Anthony Fauci MD
Video
Fauci urges cities, states to be prepared to deal with increase in COVID-19 cases as economy reopens
More COVID-19 infections are inevitable as people again start gathering, but how prepared communities are to stamp out those sparks will determine how bad the rebound is, Anthony Fauci told the senators.

Here’s what Fauci said about college students returning to campus in the fall
“Even at the top speed we’re going, we don’t see a vaccine playing in the ability of individuals to get back to school this term.”

Anthony Fauci:
Doctor Fauci disagrees
The US epidemiologist Anthony Fauci is considered the voice of reason in the White House. Now he's supposed to testify about the government's corona mismanagement - a tightrope act.

WEBINAR: Why Cybercriminals Love WFH and What Boards Should Do About It

  •   
https://www.svdx.org/calendar/2020/5/11/webinar-duty-of-care-now-and-forevermore-addressing-cybersecurity-and-privacy-for-a-new-normal

My question from the text chat:

Thank you, Antony! Short question: What are the cybersecurity risks in cryptocurrency for Board members per your or Orrick’s thinking? Thank you. Long version: Here’s a question on the horizon: what’s your or Orrick’s view of the cybersecurity risks emergent in a potential single cryptocurrency in all ~200 countries backed by some number of central banks (post Euro in 19 out of 28 countries)?; I follow MIT Digital Currency Initiative Director Neha Narula in this

https://twitter.com/neha/status/1258795026206859269?s=20
- but also realize that the Stanford-created “Mine Pi” cryptocurrency may become a significant digital currency player. What would you recommend Board members do, hypothetically, if their company was faced with a question of adopting a new single cryptocurrency, with a whole set of cybersecurity risks, for example? Thank you, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)

Dear Tony,

Thank you again! In a brainstorming way, am curious about both the coding of a single cryptocurrency - in Wikidata's 300 languages (Wikipedia's 'backend'), then for speakers of all 7,117 known living languages (a goal of MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch), then, conceptually, for all 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item # or Pin# and then even distributed via UBI experiments (where CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, of which I'm the founder, donated itself to Wikidata for co-development in 2015).
And how would, hypothetically, and risk-wise, a Stanford-coded 'Mine Pi' could come to be adopted by some number of ~200 countries' banks. And in what ways could MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch's planned online law schools' faculty - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - help to code for this ... a trillion$+ prospect? ... and possibly even listed on the emergent Silicon Valley's long term stock market (which has passed one SEC phase)?

I think the MIT DCI will have worked out the technical and security issues, and some main economic questions, - by the time some nation states' central banks would be ready to adopt it, like the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (post Euro).

When might be some good times to talk? Before or after WUaS Monthly Business Meeting this Saturday? Looking forward to talking about risk questions per your great Stanford Law SVDX session yesterday. (FYI, I'm in communication currently about some of this with both MIT re - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/dear-mit-president-rafael-reif-possible.html?view=sidebar - and Alphabet Chairman John Hennessy, and former President of Stanford, whom I met one of the first times in a Stanford Law SVDX meeting). 

Best,
Scott

For your interest today, Yo Yo Ma will also be playing at this free online MIT Media Lab event at 2:45 pm ET, 11:45 am PT:

This open MIT conference today at 2:45 pm ET features Mary Teresa Makela Barra the CEO of GM and the president of MIT Rafael Reif (who WUaS just emailed, and as a consequence WUaS/ I videoconferenced for 30 minutes with the MIT VP /head in the Office of Digital Learning, Sanjay Sarma). Also, Mary's on the Board of Stanford.

Here's the Solve at MIT 2020 Closing Plenary Livestream -

I just registered for free, and it looks interesting.
