Republican state Rep. Randy Fine, who recently was discharged from a hospital after battling COVID-19, tells Ybeth and Gary about the harrowing ordeal he and his family went through. All four of members of his family contracted the coronavirus.
"It's not the flu," he says.
Despite his ordeal, Fine doesn't think a mask mandate is necessary and explains why to Ybeth and Gary.
In the second half of the podcast, former Democratic state Rep. Dick Batchelor talks about the difficulties of campaigning during the pandemic and he says that mail-in voting will be a lifeline for people who don’t want to risk exposure while waiting in line to vote.
