One host tests negative for the novel coronavirus. We discuss the news of Amy Coney Barrett being sworn in for obviously nefarious reasons, the climate continues to catastrophize, and COVID continues to expose the worrisome machinations of capitalism and wreak physiological, psychological, and economic havoc more generally. We also discuss the differences between the South Korean healthcare model vs that of the disastrous US variety.
