To be caught off guard by Covid’s first wave was misfortunate. To be caught off guard by its second looks like carelessness.

Allison and Jonathan look at how Doug Ford’s bungling of the pandemic’s resurgence has squandered any earlier benefit of the doubt. And they talk to Dr. David Fisman, a U of T epidemiologist, whose pointed online criticisms of Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer have softened of late — but not because he thinks he’s doing a better job.

Additional music: Phase 4 by Xylo Ziko.
