A naturalist and outdoors guide and educator explains what humans and ‘development’ have done to impact a significant number of Wisconsin’s lakes. Then we talk with a public health and epidemiology expert about what it could look like for the coronavirus pandemic to be downgraded to an ‘endemic.’

What would it mean for COVID-19 to go from pandemic to endemic?
A state public health official recently said COVID-19 could become endemic by the end of 2022, so what exactly does “endemic” mean? We talk to an epidemiologist about that, and the ways life will and won’t change.
