Here are the 6 conditions we should strive to meet before we begin relaxing Safer at Home during #COVID19.

There are important details under each of these items.

I’m currently most concerned about testing/tracing capacity, PPE availability, and informed vulnerable communities.

As we slowly, carefully work our way back to normalcy, many things will still not be normal for awhile.

Expect:

* #PhysicalDistancing to still be in effect, meaning limits on numbers of people in buildings, elevators, etc. Dinner parties and other gatherings still on pause.

* #Masks4All guidance will still be generally applicable, so for the first time, expect to see lots of people wearing masks. 😷
* May 1 should not feel like a flood; it should feel like a trickle. Not all businesses in all areas can safely reopen.

* We should still generally #StayHome and avoid contact with others until serious progress on testing/tracing and antivirals/vaccines is made.
* There will still be a lot of tough headlines, and the risk of secondary spikes of infections will be high.

* Working families will continue to struggle as long as there is no or limited access to schools, camps, and other forms of childcare.
* Plenty about the economy will still hit personal finances very hard even as the economy emerges from restrictive orders.

All of these things are a departure from what most of us have known as normal.

But we learn, we adapt, and we work together.

Through it all, our #NashvilleStrong spirit will prevail.
