5 interesting coronavirus reads for March 30th.
You can be forgiven for living in the Perth coronavirus bubble, especially considering most are living the ISO life, that is why we thought we’d bring you regular interesting coronavirus reads to get you across what else is happening in the world of coronavirus.
We’re almost there guys, we’re almost through with March.
But, things are not slowing down and today was no exception.
Here are the top five must-read/watch pieces of news from around the world.
1) Trump flip flops.No way, right?

Yeah. Not the same man.
