Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

Fall in Ohio is an absolute dream. When the leaves start to change and the horizons start popping with color, our charming little state transforms into quite the scenic beauty. And when the air is a little crisp and you've got your favorite warm drink in hand, there's nothing quite like a ride through the countryside to admire it all. It's almost time to load up the car and hit the road, friends!

Coronavirus Updates 💊

Not every American response to coronavirus has been a trainwreck. Early on, the Navajo Nation Reservation struggled mightily with the pandemic, but they recently saw a day without a positive case. How did they do it? Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez says they listened to public health officials: "All we did as leaders and public health professionals is we accepted [the] recommendations from the CDC, NIH," Nez says. "We took one step more, putting those recommendations into public health emergency orders, making them law."
Meanwhile, in Ohio, Governor DeWine said yesterday that "We just can't seem to get the number of new cases down." 1,067 new cases, 65 new hospitalizations, 25 new deaths. Click here for a trend graph.
We're now six months into this pandemic, and we know so much more than we did back in March. This is such important info that I'd argue it's something everyone should consider sharing with friends and loved ones.
