E47: COVID-19 Roundtable Update - 9/29

After a half-year of rapid response to what’s been going on in the previous two weeks, this episode takes time to take stock of the entire past six-eight months and what we’ve learned. From there, we spend time looking forward – based on what we're learning - to formulate a sense of what life might look like in the coming months. And of course, we can’t help but conclude this episode with a look at the vaccines, and some Vegas odds on when we will see those vaccines reaching Arizonans.

As our guests cover, masks are where it’s at. Be COVID Smart: Stay-at-home as much as you possibly can; wash up; mask up; maintain physical distancing, and keep a heads up for your fellow Arizonans. This virus doesn’t care what month it is or what holidays are coming up. If we want continued lower numbers 2-4 weeks from now, our actions today make that difference.

In a COVID Fall, Universities are models for testing, mitigation, and behavior change backed by enforcement, trick or treating is scarier than we’d like, and vaccines could be the subject of Vegas oddsmakers. Maybe. One thing we know about life with COVID is that you can’t be too surprised by new aspects of life with COVID. So let’s get to it. It’s time to talk about what we’ve been through, what we’ve learned, and what life with COVID-19 looks like as of September 29, 2020.
