Today on Colorado Edition: Latinos in Colorado have been deeply and relentlessly affected by the pandemic. We look at two big issues facing their community, including mental health and contact tracing. And with restaurant takeout bigger than ever, we take a look at solutions to the large amount of packing waste that’s being generated. Finally, we’ll hear from KUNC’s film critic about the film Ammonite.

Today’s guests include: KUNC’s mental health reporter, Leigh Paterson; senior Colorado correspondent for Kaiser Health News, Markian Hawryluk; director of Resilient Restaurants Colorado, Robert Bogatin; and KUNC film critic Howie Movshovitz.
