Hello and welcome to the Americano podcast. This is an election year. Will Donald Trump be re-elected?

What is going on with the Democrats? And has America gone even more crazy? We'll be discussing all of these things and more, more than once a week, because

we don't feel you have enough Americano in your life. And I have a special offer for Americano listeners.

If you want to subscribe to the Spectator's US edition, which is brilliant, by the way, I edit it,

you can go to www.spictator..us forward slash subscribe and take advantage of our special

Americano offer. If you insert the code Americano in capital letters like Donald Trump on Twitter,

you will get 5% off. Please do so. I'm joined today by Amber Athe, who is the Spectators Washington editor,

and we're going to be talking about America and the coronavirus. Amber, first of all, I hope

you're well. I'm doing great. Thanks for asking. You are, you're sort of self-quarantining at the

moment. Yes, I have been in my apartment for three or four days now

without leaving, so I'm getting a little bit stir crazy, but I have my cat here. I have plenty of

food, so I'm hanging in there. Good. Glad to hear it. I understand that the White House has actually

started telling reporters, because you have a White House press pass, but I think they've issued a list.

Are you, have you qualified?

Unfortunately, I have not made the exclusive list.

So they started last week actually taking the temperatures of every reporter that came onto the White House complex.

One Chinese state reporter was actually turned away after he was tested three times

in 15 minutes and every single time had over 100 degree fever. He was sent home. Now this week,

he was a reporter for who? He was with a Chinese state media outlet, which is somewhat

concerning considering the origin of the coronavirus.

Yes, yes.

Let's not make racist remarks.
