Description
After a tiger in New York was diagnosed with COVID-19, there are concerns the virus could wreak havoc if it spreads to wild ape populations, and perhaps even destroy an already endangered species. We discuss the risks.
Then, retired Lt.-Gen. Romeo Dallaire thinks we need to adjust our mindset about the pandemic, and has a message of support for health-care workers on the front lines.
Plus, Nova Scotia kitchen parties have moved online; and the Globe and Mail's André Picard discusses the latest advice on wearing masks in the pandemic; and we check in on the bread baking trend that’s keeping Canadian occupied in quarantine.
