We close this week with our 65th Episode and see the world showing how things really work as opposed to the false delusions.  Russian oligarchs try to stop viral spread to stay afloat while Mexico struggles to keep up with the body county, Brazil's political crisis worsens, and in Africa, a slow, steady and painful burn is forecast.  We try to understand why things seem to be picking up again with hints about reinfection, sexual transmission, long lasting samples in lungs, all amidst the backdrop of an evolving pathogen, a collapsing global economy, and acrimonious competition between America and China.
