The Rotunda #264 11/30/20 - With Rhode Island now in a two week pause, what can we reasonably expect as a tangible result of this preventative action? Dr. Luis Daniel Munoz calls in for the third segment to talk to us about this topic - also, with vaccines making headlines in the news, how soon can we reasonably expect distribution? With any vaccine totally eliminate this virus, or will bit become something akin to the flu - something that we have to watch out for every year? 

Another important topic - benefits fraud. With COVID ravaging the economy, state offices are being overrun and the possibility of fake claims have skyrocketed. I'm going to talk about what to look out for and what to do if you suspect, or if you confirm, that you have been a victim in order to limit any potential damage or liability to you. 

Amazingly enough, President Trump and his team still have not fully accepted the reality of their loss. I'll talk a bit bout some interesting interactions that I had this weekend on Twitter, and my thoughts on a pressing question: now that everyone questions everything that they do not like, can we expect every presidential election going forward to be this messy?
