And say it he does over at this week's episode of Big Picture Science podcast. Lots of relevance for these times, his recent PSA with his dad Mel, and some discussion of his upcoming book Devolution, which will be out on June 16th. He talks a lot about the current crisis, comedic salve to help people cope, zombies, bigfoots ("bigFEET!" comes a deep voice from the woods behind the backyard*), and a long-existing yet tragically neglected government plan for dealing with these sorts of situations. BTW, if you're interested in actually reading these plans so briefly mentioned just after minute 25, here are the links: National Response Framework and Biological Incident Annex. Noted, downloaded, loaded onto the kindle... perhaps more commentary later.
Anyway, it's Max Brooks speaking his mind. That's always worth a listen.
