Oregon announced it could double its COVID-19 testing capacity, and the President called his bout with COVID "a gift from God." Those events happened within hours of our last weekly COVID Q-and-A session.
Clearly, there's always something new to talk about.
Dr. Jim Shames is the Medical Director at Jackson County Health and Human Services. He visits once a week to catch us up on COVID-19 issues and current concerns.
This week he's joined by Dr. Patrick Luedtke, Senior Public Health Officer for Lane County, which is seeing a spike in cases with college students back in Eugene.
