Nick Hudson, PANDA actuary who tells it like it is: SA has more to worry about than Covid-19. MUST LISTEN!

Nick Hudson, an actuary at PANDA, gives an update on their projection models from an interview in June and on how South Africa has more to worry about than Covid-19. In this interview with Alec Hogg, BizNews founder, Hudson paints a frightening picture of the wall of "institutional destruction" that is looming for South Africa as more businesses are unable to survive Covid-19 containment. – Editor

It's a warm welcome to Nick Hudson. He's an actuary, he's also the co-ordinator of PANDA. PANDA has been in the news for quite some time now because of the approach that it's taken towards modelling. We spoke last month and the podcast that we did then was our top listened to a podcast. I can tell you that takes some doing, given the number of podcasts we produce at BizNews nowadays, for the whole month. With tens of thousands of people downloading and listening to it.

There's a lot of interest in what you had to say then but you also said at that stage that you believed that we were going to peak probably in that month, and when we look at what's happening in Covid-19 at the moment, it certainly doesn't look like a peak from all of the other data that we get me in. I know you're going to tell me the real stories so provide us with a little bit of an update if you would.
