Veritasium is one of favorite YouTube channels, but it does not cover current events so I did not show many videos from them. Here is the latest video about epidemics from Veritasium, I hope that you find it informative and check out there other videos. I also included my favorite Veritasium video from the past.

Joe and Mitch
Regardless of what happens in the Georgia runoff, the future of this country may depend mostly on the personal relation between two 78 year old men, Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell. Remember from a previous blog post, Joe Manchin pledged not end the filibuster. So even if the Democrats win control of the Senate, they will not be able to do much without the support of 10 Republican Senators. If the Republicans keep control of the Senate, they may be more willing to work with Biden on moderate policy, which may be what Biden wants anyway.
