Meet the new COVID-19 variant, CAL.20C

Just as we were getting used to the idea of a European COVID mutation spreading to the states, scientists in California have found a new, domestic mutation of the virus: CAL.20C. We’ll talk about it, plus Parler fallout, Clubhouse and fireworks.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• “New California Variant May Be Driving Virus Surge There, Study Suggests” from The New York Times
• “Judge refuses to reinstate Parler’s Amazon account” from The Verge
• “Facebook Refers Trump Account Suspension to Oversight Board” from The Wall Street Journal
• And, of course, this ode to Janet Yellen

Finally: We need your voice memos! Tell us what you think of the show or ask a question for Kai Ryssdal and Molly Wood to answer! Here’s how to do it.
