Two hours ago, I was fighting with the rest of the administration of my school to try to get them to be more proactive in encouraging practices to slow the growth of COVID 19. I was losing that battle - but this gives me more ammunition.

(I know the cases are here in Ohio, all this does is make it real - which will encourage people to be more cautious.)
