On this week’s Truth To Power, we gather folks into the virtual studio for a community conversation about the COVID-19 pandemic. As of July 25th, Jefferson County has 6080 confirmed cases and 218 deaths from COVID. But the story is much bigger. On today’s show, we talk about the many issues raised by the pandemic - psychology, causes & prevention, U.S. compared to other countries, impact on musicians and other gig workers, public health, mental health, the health care system, economic impacts, government’s response, impacts on education, the science and ecological issues behind it all. Forward Radio’s Justin Mog (Sustainability Now!), Jeff Levy ("Outbreak: The Science, Policy and Treatment of Coronavirus"), Ruth Newman (Election Connection), and Lonnie Griesbaum (Back Tracks), join special guest Scott LaJoie, a professor of Health Promotion & Behavioral Science at the University of Louisville School of Public Health & Information Sciences.
