Bandwidth in the Cleveland Plain Dealer  (Sunday, July 19th)

"We Need to Re-Close.  Our Brains Can't Handle Re-Opening." - Tina D. Bhargava

Given this, basing the success of Ohio’s reopening plans on the expectation that people will make sensible choices in a pandemic is a recipe for disaster.  (Plain Dealer, E2)
