Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

It's official. Ohio will begin the slow process of reopening throughout May. Over the next few weeks, more businesses will reopen as the state ramps up testing and contact tracing. The process is delicate and it will require all of us doing our part for this soft reopening to be successful. We've got all of the details for you below.

The state may be reopening in a few days, but there are still new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths every day.

I love COSI so much and I always have, which is why I'm pretty excited to share this deal with you. In an effort to make up for lost admissions, COSI will be offering one free year of admission with the purchase of an annual membership. Two years of COSI for the price of one? Heck. Yes.

It's not every day you get to find out what it would look like to have a life-size tiger in your living room... or is it? Thanks to Google's 3D animals, a very cool augmented reality experience is just a quick internet search away. 

Talking Points ❤️ 

Best Friends 🐶

The Columbus Zoo has paired a labrador / golden doodle mix puppy with cheetah cubs, joining other experienced "cheetah dogs". The Zoo shares the fact that cheetahs are normally skittish animals, but dogs can help raise their confidence. A fun fact but mostly I'm sharing this for the photos, as you probably expected.

A Shrunken Map 🌎

I really love the maps readers at CityLab have drawn to display their worlds during coronavirus. My favorite might be this one:

What would your map look like since the stay-at-home order was enacted?

The world is going to feel a little different over the next week. Peeking ahead I see some 70s in the forecast, hopefully to stay for a while this time. Cold weather and gray skies are hitting a little harder than usual right now, so I'm looking forward to some warmth. ☀️
