The Combat Crew have Carlos Thiedeke from Mexico on again to talk about the current situation in Mexico and their Covid problems leaving 1 in 3 gyms shutting down, Carlos work hours down to 10% from pre-Covid and little to no federal/sate government assistance and himself getting hit hard with Covid. Yet, he is still staying positive, training people to the capacity he is allowed and reminding everyone there is light at the end of the tunnel. This was a great chat to highlight how lucky Australia is during this pandemic compared to other unfortunate countries that have been hit super hard.
