Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they appreciate the calm exuded by Queen Elizabeth II and and try to wrap their minds around the fact that her first national broadcast came 80 years ago. They also cheer evidence that the number of Coronavirus cases is flattening in New York and California, and getting a bit flatter throughout the U.S. - even if the number of deaths haven't yet done the same. And they react to a White House reporter asking President Trump why he hasn't closed anything, including grocery stores.
