Doctors and nurses mask up to treat COVID-19 patients at St. Luke's Health System in Boise.

As parts of Idaho continue to be under crisis standards of care and the state's test positivity rate is at 34%, could we be seeing a decrease in the current surge?

Idaho Matters looks at this question and more from listeners with former St. Luke's Health System CEO Dr. David Pate and Dr. Kenny Bramwell who is the System Medical Director for St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
