This summer’s relative freedrom been such a relief for millions of cooped-up Michiganders. But the pandemic isn’t over yet, folks. Today on the pod, we’ll talk to a public health officer for a county that’s seeing cases rise—including ones associated with the more contagious delta variant—even as vaccinations continue to lag.

GUEST:

Rebecca Burns, health officer for the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency
