The COVID-19 coronavirus has ground everyday life to a halt in Madison and in many cities across the country, as well as the world. 

I spoke with health and medicine reporter David Wahlberg, about the response from Wisconsin and Madison officials to the pandemic, and higher education reporter Kelly Meyerhofer, about the impact on Wisconsin's higher education institutions, via conference call.

Special thanks to reporter Emily Hamer who collected and contributed audio of her interviews with UW-Madison students.
