Ep. 85: News Roundup Week of 5/24/21

Heart & Home

Here in the United States we remember the men and women who sacrificed their lives during this Memorial Day weekend. Taps will be played on Monday, May 31, at 3 pm for a moment of silence. We also remember the 14 people who were killed when their cable car fell 60 feet into a hillside above Lake Maggiore in northern Italy. A five-year-old boy is the lone survivor. The Wuhan Lab Debate on Covid-19 Origin resurfaces after a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report was released that three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care. China has repeatedly denied that the virus escaped from one of its labs, citing a World Health Organization-led team’s conclusion that a lab leak was extremely unlikely, after a visit to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in February. Melbourne, along with other areas of Australia’s Victoria state, will enter its 4th lockdown as Covid-19 returns with an Indian variant.
