The Green - April 17, 2020

Listen to this edition of The Green or individual segments below:

Early projections of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Delaware used by public officials have not panned out - with cases numbers and hospitalizations lagging behind what models suggested.

Gov. John Carney maintains Delaware’s situation continues to worsen, with infections and hospitalizations trending up.

But at the same time, Delaware and other states look toward developing plans  “reopen.”

To help sort out what’s going on and what’s next, Delaware Public Media’s Sophia Schmidt brings back University of Delaware epidemiology expert Jennifer Horney for her insights.

Education in the First State faced a number of issues before the coronavirus pandemic upended everything.

But those pre-COVID-19 issues have not disappeared.  And work to address some of them is continuing.

One example is Redding Consortium for Educational Equity –which has been developing plans to achieve educational equity for schools in Wilmington and northern New Castle County.

Contributor Larry Nagengast checks in on the group’s progress this week.
