Ohio hospitals are still ramping up for a coming onslaught of COVID-19 cases as the governor and state health director continue the push to slow the spread of the coronavirus so hospitals are not overwhelmed. Governor Mike DeWine yesterday ordered an inventory of ventilators so they can be deployed where needed most. We'll get the latests and look at Ohio's handling of the crisis from its beginning.
On this special simulcast edition of the Sound of Ideas on 90.3 WCPN and 89.7 WKSU, we're joined by WKSU News Director Andrew Meyer, Ohio Public Radio's Statehouse New Bureau Chief Karen Kasler.
We'll also get insights from the summit county health department, the Cleveland Clinic, and our reporters.
