The Daily Signal - What Life in Madrid Under Lockdown Is Like
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.

Opening Arguments - OA369: Humanist Invocations & LED ZEPPELIN
Today's episode features two deep dives: first, we have an interview with David Williamson of the Central Florida Freethought Community to discuss their successful (!) five-year lawsuit to permit humanist, atheist & non-clergy invocations before the Brevard County council meetings. Find out how this case developed and learn some strategies for successful grass-roots activism even in the age of Trump!
We also take one more deep dive into the amazing Spirit/Led Zeppelin lawsuit, this time taking a look at the recent en banc decision by the full 9th Circuit that reverses the earlier panel opinion (and is a win for Led Zep). The 9th Circuit has some interesting things to say about the "inverse ratio" rule that really brings out discussion from the past two weeks (see episodes 365 and 367). We know you'll enjoy it!
After that, it's time for the answer to #T3BE 170, which matched Thomas up against the dreaded REAL PROPERTY QUESTION. Can he slay the beast? Listen and find out!
Patreon Bonuses
If you're a patron at any level, you can ask a coronavirus question to be answered on the next two episodes, and if you're at the $2 level or above, we have an amazing new Law'd Awful Movies featuring the Larry Klayman/Roger Stone deposition that must be heard to be believed!
