She was almost a mother to the nation. I listened every weekend from wherever in the world I was and never missed it. A sudden and terribly sad loss. I will miss her greatly. Condolences to her family and her colleagues at RTE.

Covid is not going away. Some will have to travel. We need to test at our airports - give results in a few hours or have people quarantine for 24hrs while they wait for results.

I love NY despite the covid;
1. Police hand out masks..
2. We drink outdoors, bars do takeout and police are reasonable
3. People hangout outside, buy food and don't pay crazy prices...
