Sirius XM : Prepare for the new school year with words of wisdom & predictions from a panel of doctors

To answer some of these questions, Doctor Radio (Ch. 110) hosted a panel of medical professionals discussing Covid-19 safety, back-to-school stress for those entering preschool through college, parent and educator concerns, and societal inequalities.
