Dr Cliff Martin joined WKEI on Tuned In to discuss the latest medical headlines regarding COVID-19. A topic that has left some scratching their heads is patients who turn up positive with no symptoms. These patients are considered Asymptomatic and while they are positive for COVID they aren't getting very sick, if it all sick. Why? And, what can we learn from patients who are Asymptomatic? Can Asymptomatic patients potentially tell those seeking a cure for COVID-19 something important? That topic plus, the number of children coming down with COVID-19 is on the rise. What does this tell us about COVID?

Dr Andy Petersen from OSF Saint Luke Medical Center joined WKEI on Tuned In recently to talk about exercise and your doctor.

What are some at home workouts that actually work? All these questions and more answered by Dr Andy Petersen from OSF Saint Luke Medical Center in our Tuned In Podcast.

The Greatest Comeback continues for local businesses including Flowers By Julia in Princeton. The business is marking it’s 40th anniversary this year. Owner Julia Cain says it was important they were able to help people with their flower selections even when their doors were closed, especially those who were choosing flowers for their loved one’s funerals. Their doors have been reopened since mid-May and Julia urges folks to stop by and choose an arrangement out of their cooler or pick up a plant or some balloons. She says people have been sending flowers more during this time, especially to nursing homes where residents are not allowed visitors. Customers can go online to flowersbyjuliaprinceton.com and place an order at their convenience. If you do stop by their store, be aware that social distancing is being practiced. In addition to their website, they also have a Facebook page. You can visit Flowers By Julia at 811 East Peru Street in Princeton or give them a call at 815-875-3819.
