Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.
I hope you all enjoyed the weekend. I don't know if any of you had the chance to
on Thursday night
but I finally got around to watching it this weekend and it was a great way to spend an hour. I laughed, I cried,
I got outraged that Zac Efron didn't actually sing in the High School Musical reunion,
the whole gamut of feelings really. It reminded me of something sort of important though which is that life used to be pretty normal and that eventually, we will get there again. I wanted to kick off the week with something fun, so feel free to fall down this rabbit hole of amazing home renovation deals that you can now shop online at Habitat for Humanity's MidOhio ReStore. So much furniture, so affordable, and it's a great way to shop sustainably just in time for Earth Day.

Ohio's prisoners make up 21% of COVID-19 cases in the state. This weekend, it was announced that over 1,800 inmates from the Marion Correctional Institution tested positive, surging Ohio's case total to over 11,000.

Michigan and Ohio both followed similar timelines in issuing social distancing and Stay-At-Home orders. So why does the state up north have so many more cases and deaths than Ohio?

Zombie Invasion 📸
You've probably seen the famous photo of "protestors" in downtown Columbus by now (hit the link below if you aren't sure what I'm talking about - major "
The Walking Dead"
vibes), and I found this interview with the photographer very interesting. Photojournalists are on the front lines of this in a way many media aren't, and I think you'll find this compelling reading.
