Lee,
This seems to be something that is best done by the ACHD, although Alachua County communications may have to help them with the actual outreach and communication. I will talk to chair Cornell about getting Mark Sexton on this. The biggest barrier is going to be lack of coordinated and reliable information.

Stay well,
Lauren

Let me know how I can help. The uncertainty is the point of stress for people although I recognize that it’s part of the deal right now.

I wanted to offer my humble input that the city could play an important role in communication, perhaps another townhall or better yet some other easy to share online content to let people know what the timeline may look like, including being honest about what we do not know. Obviously the health department should be a part of this, but city may be better equipped to get the word out. For example, there is a sign-up sheet for age 65 and older, and everyone is signing up but there’s no details about when this might happen.
