- Sharon Otterman, covers health care and the pandemic for the New York Times Metro desk, talks about case numbers in the listening area, NYU's move to cancel non-essential events, and listener calls on whether a winter surge means you're changing your behavior in the coming days, like not going to indoor parties before flying home for the holidays.
