    Review of mask guidelines by Health Canada underway and two doctors interviewed agree for situations where physical distancing of 2 meters can't be maintained that masks, if worn properly, can help reduce transmission of the virus in public.

    Keep watching for the segment that follows discussing Sweden's approach and probable abandonment of their more casual guidelines.

    footballers, teams, and managers in UK are squabbling over pay cuts, perhaps they are missing the bigger picture? is a footballer worth more than a nurse?

    UK landlords suing for rent

    landlords think they are immune? it is one type of business, but they continue to demand rent irrespective of crisis, too many over-leveraged loans? Governments remain silent. although CE has already said Government will not pay bar/restaurant rent
