b'With COVID cases spiking across the country \\u2013 it\\u2019s important to understand why. What we know is that masking, social distancing, hand washing and avoiding face touching are proven strategies for preventing infections. How seriously are we taking these steps? Apparently not so. Penn State has been conducting a survey to find out why and what we can do about it. I speak with Robert P. Lennon, MD, JD, FAAFP Associate Professor of Family and Community Medicine, Penn State College of Medicine, Penn State Associate Professor Dr. LJ Van Scoy, Cletis Earle, chief technology officer for Penn State.
I also spoke with Dr. Ray Block, Associate Professor of Political Science and African American Studies, Penn State University and Director of the Research Project for African American Research Project ( AARC) and which along with the NAACP released a new poll revealing COVD 19\\u2019s Impacts on African American Communities.

But first I always love to share stories about people doing good. I speak with State Representative Jared Solomon, Lawncrest Civic Association \\u2013members Heather Miller and Billy Dolbow and Second Police District Community Relations Officer Maureen Ciamaichelo who partnered with Barbera Cares to help those in the Northeast community experiencing food insecurity during this coronavirus pandemic.
