Summary
You can't go to church and you can't have a funeral for your loved one . . . but politicians can! The late Representative John Lewis' funeral was a shocking display of how the left will break their own rules and edicts when it is convenient for them. Packed pictures of the funeral showed little to no social distancing and D.C.'s Mayor Muriel Bowser even made quarantine exceptions for funeral attendees.
Last week we brought you a story of how a public housing apartment building in California led to a China-style quarantine of the building's residents. Something similar is now happening in Australia where cases have begun to grow.
Today we also take a look at the New York Times which appears to be finally admitting that there is a cost to lockdowns and we examine how the Catholic Church is handling the pandemic.
Also -- Phelim explains his interesting new haircut . . .

| 0:30.5 | The idea was that, you know, we'd all go into lockdown. |
| 0:31.7 | We'd all stay indoors. |
| 0:40.0 | We'd do these extraordinary things so that the hospitals would not be overrun with people and overcome and over exhausted. And we'll have ICU beds. |
| 0:41.8 | We were flattened in the curve that everyone would get the virus eventually or whoever's going to get it was going to get it. |
| 0:48.2 | And that the health system would be able to cope because we would have elongated the virus spread. |
| 0:56.5 | But that, the only thing that got elongated is that that narrative, well, I suppose that's not the right word. |
| 1:02.0 | I was hoping that might work out actually linguistically, but it didn't really. |
| 1:05.6 | But the only thing that really did happen was that we segueed into a completely new narrative. |
| 1:11.3 | Crushed the virus. |
| 1:12.5 | Now it's crushed the virus. |
| 1:14.2 | And crush the economy. |
