Valley Edition - July 10, 2020 - Racial Inequity And COVID-19, Changes To Civil War Reenactment

 

On the this week's Valley Edition: Are Valley hospitals prepared for a surge in COVID-19 patients? We talk with a local doctor about how they’re staying on top of growing patient loads. And a palliative care doctor tells us why he wants to change people's minds about the coronavirus.

 

Plus, we look at Fresno’s Civil War Reenactment. The Fresno County Historical Society event is cancelled due to COVID-19, but when it returns next year, it’s going to look very different.

And we explore the intersection of race, ethnicity and the coronavirus. For these stories and more, listen to the podcast above.
