Episode Synopsis
The new novel coronavirus again dominates our Access Louisville podcast this week. We chat with health care reporter Chris Larson about what is possibly the scariest aspect of this pandemic: Hospital readiness.Larson recently penned a story about how the Louisville area's three largest health care systems are getting ready for the outbreak, which you can read here. On the show he talks about some of the figures from that story including daily hospital census counts.It's a difficult topic but one we feel like we should discuss, considering the strange times in which we're all living.As always, we don't just address one topic, however. We also talk about our plans for after the quarantine ends. And we chat about the different language states are using in this situation. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, for instance, doesn't like the phrase "shelter in place."Design/Multimedia Editor Brooke Timmons, Digital Editor David Mann and Reporter Marty Finley join Larson on this week's show.Here's the time stamps: • 1:05 — What we're gonna do when the quarantine ends• 8:05 — Hospital readiness• 15:28 — "Shelter in place" orders
