High Stakes Poker & the Zero-Sum Game: COVID-19

You can’t have a win/win scenario in poker because of the way the game is designed. In economic and game theory we call this a zero-sum game. 

Poker is a game that has winners and losers. You play your cards and put your chips on the table: if you win then you take it all. Our global strategy for COVID-19 acts pretty much the same way.
