Why this isn’t COVID all over again

from As It Happens

An infectious disease specialist weighs in, as more Canadians who were on the cruise ship that suffered a hantavirus outbreak return home. It's no secret Canadians have reduced their travel to the U.S. -- but a researcher tells us the boycott is hitting much harder than we can see from border crossings alone. Athletes ran the Palestine Marathon for the first time since 2023 -- and one Palestinian medalist tells us it's not easy to separate sports from politics in the occupied West Bank.A proposed ban on "bromated flour" in New York State would have a major effect on two of the Big Apple's most famous products -- because it's a key ingredient in bagels and pizzas. Amanda Suzuki is a busy hockey fan right now -- because one of her sons is playing in the AHL Calder Cup playoffs, and the other is the captain of the Montreal Canadiens. The black Trans Am from the '80s show "Knight Rider" gets a speeding ticket in New York -- which is strange because it hasn't left an Illinois museum in years. As far as anyone knows...As It Happens, the Monday Edition. Radio that appreciates a self-starter.
