Manifest Density: Episode 1
COVID-19 and Data Privacy
Welcome to the very first edition of Manifest Density, a new podcast devoted to the myriad challenges facing the global economy as we all struggle to safely manage the COVID-19 pandemic, sponsored by Microshare. Hosted by Michael Moran, Microshare’s Chief Risk & Sustainability Officer and a veteran broadcaster and author on risk, politics and technology issues, Manifest Density will explore the fuller implications of COVID-19 to global business and the people who are its most valuable assets. In coming episodes we’ll speak with some of the world’s leading authorities on pandemics, on the changing relationship between workers, tenants and landlords in commercial real estate, on the impact of the pandemic on urban centers and even how COVID-19 may change global economic and political relationships.
Episode One tackles a the difficult balancing act between privacy and personal safety and how COVID-19 is changing the debate. Would you have passively submitted to a stranger taking your temperate on the threshold of a restaurant or shopping mall six months ago? Should we be concerned about allowing contact tracing apps to be downloaded on our smart phones? What kinds of rights do I retain in the workplace if I get COVID symptoms? We tackle these and many more questions with “All Things Data” podcast host and Black Hills IP CTO Tom Marlow and Microshare’s own data geek, Chief Technology Officer Tim Panagos.
