Friday, February 25 will mark two years to the day that health officials with the CDC said the coronavirus was heading towards pandemic status, as it had already met two of the three criteria needed to be considered a pandemic. The required factors were illness resulting in death, sustained person-to-person spread, and worldwide spread.

This week, listeners want to know about where to find face masks, 2nd booster shots, and possible heart complications in patients who had COVID-19.

  • Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System and a current member of the state's COVID-19 task force
  • Dr. Laura McGeorge, St. Luke’s System Medical Director, Primary Care
