Hi, my name is Anne McElheny. And I'm Philem Agalear. And welcome to the Anne and Philem Scoop. Daily Virus, where we discuss the latest news, views and advice of the pandemic. And the madness. Don't forget the madness. Oh, don't forget, for God's sake, don't forget the madness. You know what, you can't forget the madness because it's all around. It's all around. all around.

Tuesday.

7th of July, week 16 of the two-week flatten the curve lockdown. And guess what's happening now? Well, I know what's happening now. We're still on week 16 of the two-week lockdown. Don't forget that. This was to flatten the curve.

It was going to be two weeks. And now it's turned into, we have to stop a surge in cases.

We have to stop a surge in cases. We don't have to stop a surge in cases. It was always about
