KRWG News This Week - COVID Surge; Las Cruces Economic Development

Another busy week of news, and we have you covered.

We begin with the region’s in-depth coverage of the pandemic. We’ll get an update from New Mexico officials, who say cases are continuing to grow, as is the test positivity rate.  And then, we travel across the state of Texas, where the surge is a crisis.  Hospitals are running out of room, with more than 10,000 COVID-19 patients this week.  One study says the state is projected to have more than 15,000 COVID hospitalizations by next month, a new record.

And…we’ll hear about efforts to boost economic development in Las Cruces.

Plus…commentator Peter Goodman addresses efforts by some Republicans to block pandemic safety measures.

All that, plus the week’s other top stories, special reports, and more.
