Hi, my name is Anne McElhill.

And I'm Philem McAleer.

Welcome to the Anne and Phelham Scoop.

It is week 103 of the two weeks to flatten the curve lockdown.

And in fact, if you think about it, next week is 104, week 104, which be two years.

And I think it might be fair to say that we need to stop counting because it may be just over. Because in the two most restrictive places in America, and we happen to live in one of them. And we happen to live in one of them. New York City and L.A. County, basically everything has been lifted. All of the restrictions have been lifted. Except for I think there's

still Magda, I'm just going to look at Magda here for this. Schools are skills, schools,

have they stopped wearing masks in schools here? But basically most of the, most of the restrictions

have been lifted. And that's just, you know, in movie theaters, in shopping, you know, attending school,

working out, all that kind of stuff. You're not

going to need masks and you're not going to need Vax passports. But I have to say this past weekend,

it's been kind of interesting. I was in Costco, I was in Trader Joe's, and I was in Ralph's. And

there are a very sizable number of people still hanging on to masks. And we were in a playground at the

weekend on Saturday with our favourite four-year-old.

And incredibly, we witnessed, I think most people in fairness, I'm looking at Magda, most

people I think in fairness in that playground were not wearing masks.

However, we did spot one cool dude dad, real cool dude dad.

And that doesn't narrow it down much around here.

Not around here, no, exactly.

With this little darling two-year-old and Magda and I both assess the child as being two-year-old,

wearing these huge massive masks.

And I looked at it and thought, how horrible, how nutty.
