Joe McCann currently works in cloud and AI at Microsoft and has spent decades in tech, crypto, and open source communities. He recently wrote a piece called “A New, New World Order” all about the second and third order effects of Covid-19.

  • National healthcare as national security and why microbes are this decade’s terrorists
  • Proof of health, and why it’s likely to be implemented on a blockchain
