2 thoughts on “Crisis puts Holcomb center stage—and that comes with risks, rewards

  1. It’s important for each citizen to take a strong stance on what they feel is important. A strong sentiment exists to get the economy moving which is subject to interpretation. Opening businesses too soon without adequate safeguards is risky business considering that heath safeguards do not exist for many industries employing public-facing employees
    who themselves are more vulnerable and, in turn, could effect further spread of infection. So, one can choose to err on the side of conservative and wear a mask; one can keep their children at home; one could dine outdoors with others nearby (free from virus-laded breezes of course); one may believe scientists. One may believe the administration; however, too little seems credible.
