KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross and reporter Aaron Granillo discuss the fall wave of new coronavirus cases that’s sweeping the country, and compare red and blue state policies. Is another lockdown ahead of us in Washington?

Governor Inslee did issue some restrictions earlier this week, but only for college campuses. With 35 outbreaks statewide, the message to students is: stop socializing.

And, local health officials released an early version of their plan for distributing a vaccine throughout the state. But have they factored in our trust issues?

Ross: Does the right to protest outweigh the right to learn?

When does a protest cross the line? I can answer that. When it devolves into violence, obviously it crosses a line.
