Summary

Two good martinis and one very bad one as we head into Mother's Day weekend. Join Jim and Greg as they marvel at how well Florida has done thus far in warding off virus that's particularly rough on the elderly. They also shudder deeply as the U.S. lost a stunning 20.5 million jobs in April and the unemployment rate soared to 14.7 percent. And they welcome news that the percentage of positive COVID tests is declining at testing ramps up.
