What is it actually like to be physically quarantined with the Corona virus? We speak with someone quarantined in Spain. Mike Sweeney was on vacation in Spain when he was diagnosed with the Corona virus. He was, and still is, quarantined there. We call him and get a first-hand account of his experiences: how was his virus discovered, what did Spanish health authorities do once it was discovered, how has the disease impacted him, and what has his life been like in actual physical quarantine?
THen, what is the real deal on the U.S. Census? We speak with a former Director of the United States Census. Census Director. Most of us got Census notices this week. Why should we respond?

He answers the above questions and more. Including, how people like Mike Sweeney, who is currently quarantined in Spain will be counted in the Census.
