Hi, my name is Anne McElheny. And I'm Phelan McAul here. Welcome to the Ann and Phelan Scoop Daily Virus. What do we do, Phelan, on the Anand Phelan Daily Virus? Did I just say that right? Yes. What do we do? What is it about, Phelan? You don't know by now that. Oh no, I know, but I wanted to give you an opportunity to do the awful voice that you do.

Where we discussed there's news, views, advice and madness of the pandemic.

Okay, that's enough of that. It's Thursday, September the 10th. It's week 25. That's six and one week of the two week flatten the curve. Six sorry that's a good one actually thank you six months and one week of the two week flatten the curve lockdown 25 weeks a 26 weeks that'll be a half a year is that right oh yeah 52 weeks no look at you've been smart about that. Funny, I talked to somebody today and we pondered whether this could go on for a year.

And we both felt a little uncertain that it wouldn't.

Anyway, well, you know, I mean the science on, the science.

It's all science film.

We're going to be looking at a lot of that today.

So tell us film today, well, the first story, I have to just sell this.

Today, we have... These are the teasers now. Oh, these are the teasers, exactly. Don't be... Don't be... You must tease the teasers. And teasing the teasers. Halloween is cancelled or is it in Los Angeles?

And in the US, COVID has worsened an already awful opiate pandemic.

And despite the lying headlines here and around the world, the US is doing OK.

And Sweden is not the basket case that lockdown zealots and lockdown pushers had hoped it would be.

And we have a really great story from Ireland where one man who had found a rather unique solution to the COVID pub rules

and a picture a photograph of him doing that has gone viral and we have a lovely letter from

our friend in North Dakota who sent us a present and a lovely letter and we we're looking at that as well. Tell us what Halloween fell. We woke up this morning to be told Halloween is cancelled in Los Angeles. Well, that was no. Actually, that was yesterday. So yesterday, actually, yesterday we were told we started yesterday thinking it was when we cancelled. And here's what actually I received because I get this so I have this citizen app on my phone don't get the citizen

app don't get the citizen app because it'll make you think that you're living in a in a

hell home in Mogadishu although by the way I would I would I would proffer that people

in many parts of America if they downloaded citizen Citizen, would have nothing but, you know.

Cowloose on highway.

Yeah, Cowlose on Highway.

Storms expected.

Yes.
