Default Staying ahead of the infection curve...

I posted the following message on the Villages Word of Mouth FB page a couple minutes ago, but was told they only wanted "positive" messages, so deleted it. But, FYI, these are the measures Ohio is taking. They started implementing when there were only 3 cases diagnosed in the state:

Just to let you know what we might expect in the next few weeks: In Ohio extreme measures were put into place when they only had 3 diagnosed patients. Looking back, the first patient had symptoms on Feb. 7. Now in Ohio all schools are closed, bars and restaurants closed except for takeout as of 3/16, barber and beauty shops and tattoo parlors were closed on 3/18, large crowds forbidden, doctors' offices are closed except for telemedicine. They expect the peak there to be in 8 weeks, so schools will probably be closed for the year. They started their containment measures last week. Stay safe, everyone!
