The Coronavirus pandemic is still here. And it’s raging at levels higher than when we were locked down.

With nearly 14,000 COVID-19 cases since Friday and almost 130 deaths – not to mention the rising hospitalization and outbreak numbers – we need to be careful. 

What’s the situation, what’s next, and what are some answers to listener questions? [Dr. Paul Thomas from Plum Health Direct Primary Care](https://twitter.com/PlumHealthDPC?ref=dailydetroit.com) joins us to dive in. 

Some topics include:

- Where we’re standing now
- State considering reactivating field hospitals in Detroit, Novi
- Rochester Hills mayor has it; Warren City Hall shut down due to it
- Mask best practices
- Bars and restaurants are prime places to pick it up, especially indoors
- Importance of ramping up testing, we’re woefully behind
- Hope on the Pfizer vaccine early trials, but it’s still going to be awhile
- Putting doctors and public health people in charge of the Federal response
