This week we release three conversations featuring guests who have been very involved in this community's ongoing struggle with Covid 19 at both the government and health response levels.  During our third and final conversation, director of Eagle County public health Heath Harmon returns to the show along with Dana Erpelding from Eagle Valley Behavioral health to discuss the current spike in Covid cases and how that will effect us as a community on both the personal and economic levels. 

During our conversation Heath outlines the trend we continue to see with this virus, the personal responsibly we must all take to keep our community healthy, and the potential change in regulation we might see take place at a state level if the numbers continue to rise.

This week we release three conversations featuring guests who have been very involved in this community's ongoing struggle with Covid 19 at both the government and health response levels. During our second conversation, Molly English, who is the clinical manager for our in-patient and patient care units at the hospital, as well as the ICU, joins Chris Lindley for a discussion on what they are seeing at the medical level with the current rise in Covid numbers and their preparedness for a possible second wave. 

During our talk, Molly and Chris break down some of the statistics they are currently seeing and how that could effect our local health care workers, what they have learned from the first wave that we saw in the spring and how that helped prepare them to face future challenges, and the positive message they would like to get out to hopefully ease some of the community's current fears.

This week we release three conversations featuring guests who have been very involved in this community's ongoing struggle with Covid 19 at both the government and health response levels. During our first conversation, Eagle County Emergency Manager Birch Barron joins Chris Lindley to discuss the current spike in cases we are seeing in the Eagle Valley, the continued severity of this virus, and how that will effect this community at the economic and social levels as we move forward.

During our conversation Birch lays out what could possibly change with government restrictions, what we can do as individuals and as a community to try and take care of the overall health and well being of everyone as a whole, and how that will allow us to remain in control at a local government level of managing our own decisions.

Finn Mott joins Gerry Lopez on this episode of the community stream podcast to talk about his struggle with cancer at a very young age and how that affected his life and gave him a glimpse of his own mortality and a true sense of gratitude for everyday existence.

He has since gone on to try and give back to other young people who might be struggling in the valley, working with organizations like Mountain Youth. During our conversation Finn talks about the challenges of getting through High School while also undergoing chemotherapy, the amount of depression he went through as a young person dealing with the heavy burden of a cancer diagnosis, how he chose to see the positivity in his struggle, and how he found a new outlet in sports like track and mountain biking and in giving back to the youth.
