The Observation Deck

Testing is now available for everyone. Right now there will be pop up testing areas located through out the state based on hot spots. They will be there for 4-6 hours a day and locations will change. You do not have to live in a hot spot to get tested.

COVID-19 in children. Most will do just great. Children are no where near as effected as older citizens. Recently though we have been seeing an increase in children testing positive for Corona Virus. Now some can be attributed to more testing, but what is troubling is the percentages have shown a steady increase in children. An uptick of 5-10% in children needing hospitalization as well.

Be smart, be safe

Meanwhile in NYS, the covid situation has improved to the point where Gov Cuomo will no longer do his daily briefings after Friday. The number of daily deaths from Covid, a lagging indicator, has decreased to 17 from 800 about 100 days ago. Perhaps Ohio should be asking what they could learn, or maybe it's a case of NIH (not invented here).

Thank you, Jim! Excellent link!
