Oakland County Medical Director Dr. Russell Faust, West Bloomfield Fire Chief Greg Flynn and other news-makers discuss the latest COVID-19 information on this full edition of the Oakland County Megacast!
Dr. Russell Faust, Medical Director at the Oakland County Health Department, talks about the recent spikes in COVID-19 case numbers throughout the state, including some traced back to points of origin in Oakland County, and tells us why this is NOT the time for people to let their guard down regarding COVID-19 preventative measures.
Chief Greg Flynn talks about the community’s “fatigue” regarding COVID-19 safety measures and why that may be the reason that some people are not following guidelines such as physical distancing and wearing facial coverings, as well as what community members can do to ensure a safe holiday weekend on the beach, in the water, on the boat, and while using consumer fireworks.
Additionally, West Bloomfield Library Director Clara Bohrer talks about moving library services to digital during the pandemic, how the Library’s Summer Reading program will be modified to fit the pandemic times, and how Library materials are screened and cleared of COVID-19 before being re-stocked and providing to the public, and Lynn Suftin from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services discusses why COVID-19 cases from East Lansing, while rapidly increasing, are not resulting in many hospitalizations.
Plus, Geri Rinschler from the League of Women Voters Oakland Area talks about preparing voters for the upcoming elections, providing candidates with an outlet to talk about the issues to the community, and why preparation is key for the elections during a pandemic, and West Bloomfield Township Clerk Debbie Binder tells us about some key differences between this summer’s primary elections and the general election in November, and provides an update on U.S. Census response in the local area.
