Show Notes

A new policy causing hours-long border wait times was meant to deter unnecessary crossings but it’s affecting essential workers who cross daily. Plus, Supervisor Jim Desmond, who represents a large part of North County, has questioned the county's COVID-19 restrictions. On his podcast, he's also invited controversial guests who have made false statements about the coronavirus without being challenged. Also, the first day of kindergarten is a rite of passage for children. But the inequities in how different families can approach virtual kindergarten could have some real life consequences for kids in the future. And, the San Diego Film Office is up and running again with new COVID-19 guidelines for filming in San Diego.
