Sacks notes FDR was reelected in 1936 during the Depression because he was seen as a man of action.
“We're still in the Great Depression in 1936 when he gets reelected, you know, and because he's seen as a man of action, he does these fireside chats and he's doing things.”
Sacks proposes a separate czar for creating an exit strategy from lockdown without retriggering viral spread.
“I think that there should be a separate team, kind of a czar for the 2.0 response, which should be focused on how do we create a new system that gets us out of lockdown but doesn't re trigger the exponentiality of the virus.”
