Reuben was a college student when the pandemic hit, shifting his entire college experience. He drew from his experience of not being able to be social, online school, missing events, inspired the music he created during the height of the pandemic.
Dr. Stately would also like to remind listeners that they may believe they have a regular cold or allergies, but they can utilize the resources available, such as the free testing kits, to be sure you don’t have COVID-19. And, be proactive by getting the newly released vaccine. Minnesota residents who have symptoms or have COVID-19 can qualify to receive treatment at co-cost through the Test to Treat Program.
