Summary
Just when you thought the pandemic and the lockdowns were almost over, countries throughout the world who were praised for taking stringent action against the coronavirus are now seeing new virus spikes. In Victoria, the second most populous state in Australia, a stringent new lockdown has been implemented that nearly prohibits leaving one's home for nonessential activities. Additionally, a 8PM to 5AM curfew has been put in place and police are enforcing compliance. Is a new wave of lockdowns on the horizon?
Also on today's episode we take a look at some mind boggling stories in the San Francisco Chronicle, destructive teachers unions, and how the lockdown will severely damage the mental health of our children.
