Triage tents are going up at local Detroit area hospitals. Beaumont reports that their facilities across the region are 90 to 95% occupied, and rising. The volume of patients there is higher than last fall.

Plus, the Johnson and Johnson vaccine was paused for review. So what does that mean? And what’s next?

To help sort this unfolding crisis out and make us smarter, Dr. Paul Thomas from Plum Health Direct Primary Care joins us.
