But Raj is taking aim at shortening the path to a post-Covid world.  He partnered with Clara Health to create www.worldwithoutcovid.org.  The site let\u2019s people register to help researchers worldwide accelerate their race to find better testing, treatments, and vaccines. Raj has been a venture capitalist (Mayfield) and a entrepreneur (SnapFish).  He is currently the Chief Strategy Officer at Lyft.  In this episode we discuss Raj\u2019s journey from contracting to recovering from Covid.  We also discuss the path to finding a treatment, and the why\u2019s and how\u2019s of California\u2019s lockdown.  We also discuss (Caifornia Governor) Gavin Newsom\u2019s \u201c6 Criteria for lifting quarantine\u201d, and the current state of the US Presidential race. We turn to Lyft, and the future of transportation (the original topic of this episode):   How Lyft is faring during the Covid crisis, how will change cities, and how Lyft affect climate change.
