As many of you know, I live in southern Ohio. Franklin county, the home of Columbus and OSU are reporting these numbers as of today.
Confirmed cases-88,447
Hospital- 3,154
Deaths-700
I have not been given the number of cases as of yet to day. I get a daily update for school purposes. COVID is rampant in our state. The little county that I live in with a population of about 29,000 people had 98 confirmed new cases yesterday, 10 hospitalizations and another death. Most places to eat are doing carry out only, masks are required and enforced when you are outside (doctor statement is an exception) but rarely do I see anyone without a mask on. I HAVE LOST 6-7 PEOPLE THAT I KNOW PERSONALLY FROM THIS VIRUS. If you really want numbers, check out Channels 10, 6 o 4 news and see what they are saying.
I do not think for one second, OSU is trying postpone the championship game. If Bama players come up ill in the next few days, we are going to be in the same situation. Hopefully, for BOTH teams and staff they will not have any outbreaks and the game can be played as scheduled.
