E38: COVID-19 Roundtable Update - 7/21

Buckle up, pour yourself a beverage, turn up your speakers and/or get those headphones secured and get ready – because this COVID roundtable really packs an informative punch. Round for round, pound for pound, this is the episode for analysis, perspective and even for hope.

 

For one thing, Arizona appears to be doing a lot less worse according to the numbers. That doesn’t mean we don’t have a long way to go, but the trend is no longer going the wrong way. And that’s because, among other things, people are doing more of the right things. So don’t stop now. Stay-at-home as much as you possibly can; wash up; mask up; maintain social distancing, and keep a heads up for your fellow Arizonans. We need to be in this together in order to get out of this together.

 

There’s much more to get into. So, here we go. It’s time to talk numbers, systems, policies, gating criteria, school reopenings, collective community goals, economic and social supports, and health insurance. And we’ve got a robust and detailed vaccine discussion for you today. In other words, in this, our fourth month of the roundtable, we’ve got a lot to share.
