Three segments today:

First, local Coronavirus news. Cases are up, gyms are angry they can't open, the DIA is reopening, a local drive-in movie theater takes top spot in the nation, and the city of Detroit is going to crack down on n'er do wells when it comes to bars and restaurants.

Then, Eater Detroit's Brenna Houck joins us to talk about progress with To-Go cocktails as well as how restaurants are dealing with the Coronavirus and masks.

Finally, Nina Thekdi from Varnum talks about the impact of President Donald Trump's quick ban on H1B and some other visas, and how that's going hurt Metro Detroit's economy; especially since no alternative plans or supports were put into place.
