The CDC appeared to alter guidelines for COVID-19 testing last week, then walked those changes back. We look at the coronavirus in Wisconsin and when to get tested. We also find out how each party assigns its primary delegates. Plus, we get the latest on the special state legislative session on police reform.

  • Checking In On COVID-19 Trends And Testing Guidelines

    Last week, the CDC’s guidance that asymptomatic people who have been exposed to the coronavirus don’t necessarily need a test sparked backlash from medical groups. We check in with a doctor about when we should get tested and how case numbers are trending in Wisconsin.

  • Breaking Down How Each Party Allots Delegates To States

    We talk with a political science professor who explains the politics of how both Democratic and Republican parties allot their delegate numbers around the country, and how that impacts voting power.

  • A Look At Special Session On Police Reform And GOP Proposals

    State Republicans convened and quickly adjourned a special legislative session on police reform. We look at what took place, the competing proposals from Gov. Tony Evers and Senate Republicans, and what may happen next.
