Ask The Doctor, Trusting Public Health Officials, Duane Bratt, High River Harvest Party

Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Thursday, September 3rd.

We begin with answers to your COVID-19 questions – and myth-busting surrounding the virus. We’re joined by University of Calgary Infectious Disease Specialist, Dr. Craig Jenne.

Next we look at the work done by Public Health Officials through the Pandemic. We speak with a Professor of Philosophy about the importance of maintaining trust with the public – as the crisis continues.

Then we look at the question of whether historically significant statues and monuments should be removed when the subject turns out to have a controversial past. We get the thoughts of Duane Bratt, Political Scientist with Mount Royal University.

And finally, it’s a chance to hear some great music – socially distanced – while raising money for a good cause. We hear details on the High River District Health Care Foundation’s “Big Screen Harvest Party”.
