After a few glorious months where it looked as if the worst of the pandemic was behind us, a new surge of Covid-19 is now bearing down on Louisiana with a vengeance. A new enemy variant called Delta is coming after us - and this time, it’s after our children. With cases projected to peak sometime between September and November, elected officials and business leaders are weighing new measures to stem the outbreak. On this episode of Louisiana Eats we look back to how life was in the spring of 2020 and then fast forward to the current Covid situation in Louisiana. Medical reporter, Dr. Corey Hebert tells us how the Covid game has changed and what the situation is for our children today. Then, Amanda Toups of Toups Meatery joins us to talk about her family’s recent trip to France and how she’s struggling to keep her children safe after returning to New Orleans, the Covid hot spot she calls home.
Finally, we have a quick word with Laveau Contraire, Drag Queen Story Hour Queen extraordinaire with a special message for her littlest friends about keeping safe.
We’re all together in this, on this week’s Louisiana Eats!
