About this episode
Spain is one of the European countries struggling to stop the spread of coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. Right now, Madrid is on lockdown: Residents can't leave their homes unless it's for something essential, such as getting medicine or food. You can't take walks for no reason. Only one person per household is allowed to go to the grocery store, to cut down on crowding and contact. Police enforce these measures and fine violators. Kate Trinko's sister, Therese Trinko, a high school teacher in Madrid, shares what it's like, what she's hearing from the Italians she knows, and how Spaniards are keeping their spirits up. We also cover these stories: President Trump suggests the coronavirus pandemic could last into the summer. More states close restaurants, bars, and other businesses. Some European nations are tightly restricting their borders. The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts , Pippa , Google Play , or Stitcher .
