The monthly board meeting of Lake County Community will not take place in July. This decision was made at the June meeting, due to the availability of board members. The next meeting will be Thursday, August 17 at 6:00 PM, via Zoom.
Warning: we are a small County, so just a few cases (one household) could move us from one level to another.
Also see CDC Communty Levels and CDC Community Level Map for details on the current status.
The station is periodically reviewing new Covid19 studio protocols. Subject to programmer agreements we can now have two people in the studio at the same time, and one live show can follow another.
Note : web sites are changing the pages about COVID-19 often, so we are just giving the top-level address.

The best way to prevent illness is to be fully vaccinated. In addition, because of breakthrough cases, avoid being exposed to this virus. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet), and as aerosols, throughout a poorly ventilated area. This occurs through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person breaths, talks, coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the nose and lungs. Your best protection indoors is a well-fitting surgical or N95 mask. Cloth masks are better than nothing, but give only slight protection. Older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness. Every person has a role to play. So much of protecting yourself and your family comes down to common sense:
Unofficial but reputable sites
New York Times: Charts and Maps down to the county level
San Jose Mercury News : Map of cases by county (updated daily)
Washington University : Cases and Hospital Capacity for USA and State (Right now California has the capacity, New York does not)
ncov19.live : Cases worldwide, with USA by state This site was created by Avi Schiffmann, a high schooler in Washington State, USA. (Updated continuously with data from official sources)
For the technically inclined, very good graphs (international and US states)

A celebration to remember the life of Ron Green will be held on Sunday, October 1, from 1:00 to 5:00 PM at Cache Creek Vineyards and Winery,.
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of a cherished friend and long time radio programmer, Ron Green.
