Another week, and we are allowing ourselves to talk about this lockdown again. We try and cover many sides of this debate, but desperately want to see those of us affected by this most to understand that despite our different views we are in this together. As always discussion is king for us, and abstract ideas are welcomed. The stories and circumstances surrounding this whole situation include some comical content, and that makes for some great topics. Join us as we discuss the seriousness of both the economics and health of this declared pandemic, but aren’t afraid to laugh and question things along the way. Yes, we still include shower thoughts, because those are pretty much the only sane thing at this point.
