Listen to "Play It Forward Episode 123 With Adrian Woodridge The Wake Up Call" on Spreaker. Hey it’s Arroe. This is Play It Forward. A look at the unexpected changes endured by entertainers, writers, camera people and all others affected but not infected by the global invasion of the Coronavirus. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward. Episode 123 with journalist Adrian Wooldridge: Americans have died from Covid at 4 times the rate that Germans have and 50 times the rate for the Japanese or South Koreans. The disease has killed at least 20,000 New Yorkers and 6,000 Londoners—but fewer than approximately 100 people combined in the equally huge Asian cities of Seoul, Singapore, Taipei and Hong Kong. The official numbers for Mainland China are even better. Covid has been a test that some countries passed triumphantly--and others, notably America and Britain, failed. The crisis has not only highlighted the failures of Western leadership; it has also shown how far Asia has sprung forward. Some say that Covid may mark the end of the American era and the beginning of a new world. So what went wrong? And can the West—and the United States—do anything to fix things? That’s Play It Forward. You can listen to the full conversations with these artists on three different podcasts.
