KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross and reporter Aaron Granillo discuss the mental health of kids heading into an online-only start to their school year. Are schools, parents, and teachers prepared?

Plus, some important updated guidelines:

The World Health Organization changes their recommendations for young children wearing masks.
The Food and Drug Administration retracts some of their confidence in convalescent plasma therapy and clears up a misleading statistic.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has new guidelines for how to travel safely.
