Summary
Nick Cordero, 41 years old and a major Broadway star, went to the hospital with Covid and ended up intubated for weeks during which time his leg was amputated. He's now recovering, but as he and many other Americans struggle to survive the corona virus, why are Rupert Murdoch's Fox News anchors telling everybody to get back to work... while they themselves stay safely at home?
And how can we stay motivated and hang on to a sense of purpose during lockdown? If you've always meant to be writer, Thom's shares his methods on how to get yourself writing.
Plus - can we trust any advice from a government that put a lobbyist for the chemical industries in charge of consumer protection and has worked to loosen rules on things like asbestos? Why are the latest CDC guidelines so lax?
