The first official case hospitalized in my suburb was announced last night, 6 so far in my city (up from one Tuesday). Undoubtedly many more but the lack of testing makes it invisible.
The top health official of Ohio estimates they probably have 100,000 cases undiagnosed!
I will be running a couple necessary errands today (office is closed Friday) but with my mask and hand sanitizer at the ready.
Btw if you need a mask ( let’s say you were around someone with a cough and now you need to go attend to an elderly relative and want to protect them from your droplets) I did see a handy video online on how to make a mask from parchment paper. Basically you cut a rectangle, accordion pleat it, lay a rubber band over each end. Fold the end over the rubber band and staple it. It’s not ideal but might be helpful for some.
