Amanda and Maurice recap the week’s two top self-defense verdicts and discuss where criminal justice reform can go from here. (Quite a long way, it turns out.) Then we return to COVID news from all around the world: Austria becomes the next Australia; OSHA backs off of its mandate;  the FDA decides it will release Pfizer trial data over the next… 54 years; and a new variant leaves us contemplating the horrors of asymptomatically spreading an asymptomatic virus.
