    Ethnic Media Services Covid Report Aired on KPFK Rebel Alliance News

    Ethnic Media Services Covid Report Aired on KPFK Rebel Alliance News

    Ethnic Media Services briefing will examine the rise in cases, the new variant, the new boosters, strategies their expert panelists are taking to prevent infections, as well as the phenomenon of paxlovid rebound.

    This Ethnic Media Services Covid Report aired on KPFK Rebel Alliance News as Covid19 cases are rising once again and several folks I personally know have gotten it, including me!

    I received negative feedback from a couple of folks who wrote my news director about this report. So I am putting it on my SoundCloud to continue keeping folks informed. Covid testing sites are not easily accessible as stated in the report. I could not find any on a Saturday in Los Angeles to determine if I had Covid or not.

    Anyhoo chew the meat and spit out the bones...don't choke.
