Guest: Matthew Ramsey, spokesperson for UBC
Chapter 3: A lot of countries around the world have reopened schools already with mixed results. Switzerland and Denmark were kind of the gold standard for reopening as time went by and it seemed like they had it all figured out, experts there are now calling for stricter rules as more and more classes are reporting positive cases.
Guest: Shane Woodford, Freelancer in Denmark, former CKNW.
