Mayor's Weekly Update - October 7, 2020
A
Weekly
update
with
the
mayor,
kyle
johansen,
won't
be
joining
me
today.
He
has
had
a
conflict,
so
I
am
going
to
be
walking
you
through
the
weather.
It's
it's
it's
great
outside.
If
you
haven't
been
outside
70
degrees
is
our
high.
Today
our
low
is
going
to
be
chilly.
It's
going
to
be
down
to
44
degrees,
10
chance
of
rain
going
into
thursday.
Our
high
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
lower.
It
will
be
69
degrees
with
a
low
of
43.
A
A
So
it
looks
like
it
might
be:
a
wet
one,
come
sunday
into
monday,
73
degrees,
a
high
of
a
high
of
73,
a
low
of
58
a.m,
showers,
tuesday,
a
high
of
75
and
a
low
of
54
degrees
with
partly
cloudy
skies
and
a
20
chance
of
rain
and
then
going
into
wednesday
of
next
week.
71
degrees
is
the
high.
The
low
is
48
with
partly
cloudy
again
and
20
chance
of
rain
covet
19
updates.
I
have
been
tracking
since
early
march
if
we
can
get
the
graphic
up
on
the
screen.
A
I
I
just
really
wanted
to
point
out
the
increase
that
we
saw
back
in
the
july
time
frame
to
where
we
had
a
high
number
of
active
cases,
which
is
the
blue
line.
Blue
line
indicating
active,
the
gray
bar
total
and
the
orange
or
gold
line
is
recovered
cases.
The
active
cases
peak
in
july
was
176
cases.
A
A
A
Seventy
three
two
thousand
cases
plus
almost
173
000
cases
with
4970
deaths
in
the
state
of
ohio
for
athens,
county
we're
at
887,
confirmed
or
probable
cases.
Two
deaths
are
related
to
covet
19.
The
current
active
cases,
as
I
may
have
mentioned,
is
176,
so
we're
up
in
active
cases
by
two
from
yesterday,
so
we're
on
were
that's
the
same
level
as
we
experienced
at
the
peak
in
july
and
709
recovered
cases.
A
A
You
know
it's
the
one
thing
that
we
can
certainly
do
to
protect
each
other
and
reduce
the
spread,
as
well
as
frequent
hand,
washing
social
distancing
and
just
being
mindful
of
of
maintaining
all
of
those
from
face
masking
to
social
distancing
to
hand
washing
stimson
avenue
columbia.
Gas
is
still
working
in
the
the
stimson
avenue
corridor.
A
Today
they
are
working
