Prolonged pandemic preparedness

It’s been half a year since Americans began hunkering down at home due to the coronavirus. With no end to the pandemic in sight, Dr Joe Alton describes steps we can take to ensure our continued safety and to prepare our households for the long haul. Plus, attorney and professor Steven Weisman gives advice to those choosing to take their “stay-at-home” lifestyles a step further, particularly those fleeing densely-populated cities for... greener pastures.

Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura is no stranger to being far-removed from the hustle and bustle, as he describes the steps he’s taken to get “off the grid.” While the pandemic has relegated much of our lives to digital platforms, Jesse reminds us how blissful it can be to electronically distance ourselves from time to time. Plus, the former governor gives us his take on Trump’s recent bashing of service members and what to expect in the fast-approaching 2020 mail-in election.
