1 - The New Normal?

from Social Distance Happy Hour Hosted by Reanna

Hello and welcome to the inaugural episode of the Social Distance Happy Hour! Meet Reanna, Stephanie and Melissa, three friends in Northeast Ohio who are facing down the prospect of a strange, new normal ushered in by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Governor announced on March 12 that schools would be shutting down for at least three weeks, and today (right after we recorded) announced the closing of restaurants and bars across the state. Every episode, we'll check in with our guests on how they're holding up and what strategies they've put in place to cope through COVID. Today's recommended readings for the Apocalypse Book Club The Testaments by Margaret Atwood California by Edan Lepucki Gold Fame Citrus by Claire Vaye Watkins and the real-life apocalypse tales spun by @Aslavitt, former Medicare, Medicaid & ACA head for Obama. We also worshiped at the altar of Dr. Amy Acton, director of health for Ohio's department of health, who's leading us through this crisis with poise, aplomb and wisdom wholly foreign to any national response to this crisis. Join us for our pilot episode! We appreciate your patience as we figure out the audio. We don't know what we're doing, but it's feeling like a real smoke 'em if you got 'em situation with any passion projects we've been putting off. Find us on Twitter at @DistanceHour
