“War” on coronavirus cases at New Orleans’ jail, the COVID slide for schoolkids, and musicians’ commentary on surviving the crisis.
This week on Behind The Lens:
- “It’s a War”… that comment from a top New Orleans jail official. New testing shows widespread infections at the jail.
- Meet the “COVID Slide,” a real problem for educators and school kids as they settle in for a long summer.
- The governor extends the stay-home restrictions in Louisiana to May 15th… we’ll look at some of the state politics in play as leadership grapples with the COVID-19 crisis.
- What will it take to reopen, finally and safely? Our health reporter chimes in.
- And we’ll talk with two veteran musicians about the impact of this crisis on live performers in New Orleans.
