Back to EpisodesWhy is PA Fighting the CDC? Plus: City Trash Contracts & Will Roosevelt Blvd Get a Subway
Description
Pennsylvania has reported four measles deaths in the past month, marking the first deaths in the Commonwealth related to once-eradicated disease in 35 years. But state health officials haven’t provided many details to the public. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by contributors Nic Esposito and Cassidy Leyendecker to discuss how information about the measles outbreak is being handled on local, state, and national levels. They also break down the city’s soon-to-be-expiring waste disposal contracts and share ways to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety on one of Philly's most dangerous roads, Roosevelt Boulevard.
