COVID-19 Good News and Bad


December 18, 2020 – Gene Grant and The Line opinion panelists weigh good news against bad in an update on the pandemic’s effect on New Mexico. While COVID-19 vaccines have started to arrive in the state and case numbers have started to ease, there’s still the holiday break to get through and hospitals remain overwhelmed. Panelists also look at the Governor’s “red-to-green” COVID restriction system and whether it seems to be working as intended. 

Host: Gene Grant  

The Line Opinion Panel:     
Merritt Allen, Vox Optima  
Dede Feldman, former state senator   
Serge Martinez, professor, UNM School of Law
