Our special edition of Houston Matters weekdays at 3 p.m. addresses your questions and concerns about coronavirus as a public service to our listeners.
In the first segment, host Ernie Manouse is joined by Dr. Vivian Ho with Rice University’s James A. Baker III Institute to talk about our society’s response to COVID-19 and the current models and strategies for a return to relative normalcy. She also co-writes a blog detailing the latest updates on the pandemic. Today’s blog update contained a link to a video showing how people emit microdroplets when sneezing, coughing, or simply talking, and how long those microdroplets can remain suspended in enclosed surroundings.

Then, joining us to address the latest health concerns and listener questions about the virus is UH Downtown's Dr. Gabriela Bowden:
