![]() To do that, we asked the fairs to discouraged congregation of large gatherings, gatherings of people on the County fairgrounds. So all kinds of projects, and our goal was to preserve the County fairs for that purpose, again, the essence of the fair. Fran and I know a young lady from Green County who, a number of years ago, that’s how she got interested in welding. The essence of County fairs is really the young people who are in 4-H, FFA, young kids who are competing, not just those who raise lambs, or steers, or chickens, or goats, but also those who might take in a project in rockets, a project in welding. And our goal this summer was in spite of the COVID-19 to try to hold these fairs, and our goal was to focus on our young people. We have great fairs in the State of Ohio, independent fairs, County fairs. Let’s turn now to the fairs, I want talk about our fairs. And I’ll come back and talk about that a little bit later. We saw some increase on Saturday or Sunday, back down again a little bit, but this early warning one that we have up here is a good sign. We believe we have started to see if a plateau in some of these numbers, certainly not in all the numbers, but if you look at the cases they have plateaued out for a while. And it’s always tough to tell exactly where we are, but we’re looking at these numbers every single day. Let me just talk for a moment about maybe where we are. Again, these are delayed numbers, but we’re happy to see them start down. The good news is that we’re starting to see a decrease in the emergency department visits in recent days, and we hope that that keeps up. We then had a steady increase for about one month, with a peak around July, 12th. And again, I would emphasize this, the number of covert related emergency department visits increased from late March through early May, and then steadily declined until around June 11th. ![]() This is displayed as a seven day moving average, and it’s also behind. And as you recall, this is an early warning indicator, and as you can see, it went up for some time. This chart shows the trend in emergency department visits. This is some good news, and this is good news, and we certainly hope this trend continues. So those numbers are certainly not going in the right direction for us.Įric, let’s look at the next slide. As of today, we have 1,144 individuals who are currently hospitalized compared to 1,024 on July 15th. Let’s look at the current number who were in the hospital, looking at the number of confirmed COVID-19 patients that are currently hospitalized in Ohio, we continue to see a consistent increase. New hospitalizations, 140, that is higher than the 21 day average, and ICU admissions is up. As you can see below that, tragically, the deaths were 38 in the last 24 hours that were reported, certainly is higher than the 21 day average. So we look at the look at the case numbers, we’re kind of hovering around 13, 14, 1500. Let’s go, Eric, let’s look at the look at the slides if we can. I won’t say his name, but we wish him all the best. Today, we learned another friend has COVID, and so we wish him all the best. As I said, last week, one of our friends, Pat Flanigan died from that. We wish her certainly all the best.įran and I in the last several weeks have had some of our friends who have come down with COVID-19.
