COVID test kits and masks are handed out to Wallingford residents in the parking lot of the Oakdale Theater on January 4, 2022. The Wallingford Health Department held the Home Covid Test Kit and N-95 Mask distribution event along with the Wallingford Fire Department. The WPD assisted with distribution. One kit per car was allowed with proof of residency.

This hour, we discuss COVID-19: from the latest science, to communication about the virus, and its depiction on television.

GUESTS:

  • Brianne Barker - Associate Professor of Biology at Drew University and a co-host on the podcast “This Week in Virology.”
  • Aaron Blake - Senior political reporter writing for The Fix at The Washington Post. 
  • James Poniewozik - Chief television critic for The New York Times, and author of “Audience of One: Donald Trump, Television, and the Fracturing of America.”
