Texas Standard For May 22, 2020
Potter County in the Texas Panhandle is seeing more than its share of coronavirus cases, at least population-wise. We’ll take an on-the-ground look. And: What’s voting going to look like in Texas come November? Turns out folks have very strong opinions about this. We’ll hear from some. Also: We’ll hear again from our go-to doctor for answers to your questions about the coronavirus. One question for today? The risk of sending kids back to childcare. We’ll explore.
