![]() Despite thinking it might be good to catch the virus now before hospitals and services are overloaded I find myself avoiding people and washing my hands.

What we need to do goes beyond keeping people from getting it - we need to not swamp the healthcare system. My daughter has a trip to NYC scheduled with 80 students the first week or April. Now administration is saying that probably won't happen. Getting the money back is going to be problematic and this type of situation will no doubt clog the courts for a while. All the major Ohio universities are going to online instruction until April 12 at least. The public schools will be following suit. The governor has already shut one large event down and will likely issue an order similar to Inslee's. Is all this a good idea? I don't think anyone knows for sure. But we will know a lot more after we see if it is successful. The Ohio status? Confirmed Cases in Ohio: 3 Persons Under Investigation(PUIs)1 in Ohio: 15 Negative PUIs in Ohio: 14

This is so important for people to understand. I think there can be the perception that if anyone needs medical support, it will be there. Reality is that resources are limited and we could exceed capacity. Italy is the best example. And unlike the Chinese, I don't think we'd be capable of building 16 hospitals on the fly to increase capacity.
I've said this before here. It's like insurance. You hope that you're left wondering if your premium was well spent when you don't end up using the policy. Far preferable to the alternative.

Insurance is exactly how I've been describing our precautions. You pay the premium for risk reduction. | |||
