Hi, I’m Alexandra Jennerjahn for Mornings on the Hill. I’m coming to you from my hometown, where we are currently under state orders to avoid large groups. Even though our on campus semester has come to an end, Mornings on the Hill is still dedicated to our main mission: reporting the news. For the next half hour we’ll be bringing you stories about life around the country for Syracuse University students. How are they managing? What’s happening in their homes or neighborhoods?
With a climbing number of people infected with Covid 19, New York State has the largest number of cases reported in the U.S. so far. Whether it’s downstate or upstate, people are dealing with it in a number of ways. Our coverage begins with Marsha Augustin in Westchester County and Cole Johnson in Moravia New York—as Marsha tells us, the national guard is teaming up with another agency to help feed those in need.
