“Thanks to the great forethought of Governor Mike DeWine, we are doing batter than many states.”
We are doing extremely well, but we are still in a battle.
Life will never go back to pre-corona virus. A vaccine would be a game changer. But that is not likely for a year or longer.
Paraphrasing Dr, Fucci “It is not like a light switch. It is not on and off. The first step is a step drop in the number of cases. Then and only then you ease back into it.” Masks, gloves, hand sanitizers will be part of everyday life. Testing is critical. Once we get that we will better know.
Crowds and crowded areas will be banned for awhile. We are not going to want people to congregate. Less seating, checking customers temperatures, dedicated cleaning staff.
Vulnerable populations will have to continue on for even longer.
Hopefully in the next to 4-8 weeks we might be able to re-open the country.
Dr. Amy Acton
We still do not have enough testing.
All health care modelers agree we must keep doing what we are doing. We cannot let up.
WE were one of the first states into this, now we want to be one of the first states out of this.
We are doing well but we must continue the course.
What you have done for our hospitals is that you have given us time and the ability to be mobile and agile in our responses. We are talking about not just how to build out physical structures, but also about getting experts and care to hot spots where "we can crush the virus."
It is vital for our religious leaders in this state to not congregate in any way that puts people at risk. Please, please, please…please celebrate, but do it in a way which keeps us all safe this year.
