Purchase a recording of the program HERE\n\nGood Morning SLO is going virtual! \nGrab breakfast and coffee (see offers below) and join us for our first virtual Good Morning SLO. \nTo preserve some community connection in this time of being apart\, you’ll have the chance to interact with speakers by asking your most pressing questions. \nZoom invite will be sent upon registration. \nThis month’s lead sponsors: \n \nThis month’s speakers include: \nCOMBATTING COVID IN SLO COUNTY\nDr. Aydin Nazmi\, chair of the medical panel behind SLO County’s reopening guidelines\, will provide a look back and ahead. He’ll address the panel’s considerations in determining our approach and outline the latest thinking on what lies ahead in the battle to combat and contain the spread of the coronavirus. \n\nFROM THE FRONTLINES IN NEW YORK CITY\nInstead of riding out the pandemic in our relatively quiet neck of the woods\, Jessi Norris dove right into the epicenter. She is one of several French Hospital ICU nurses who traveled to New York City to pitch in at hospitals overrun with Covid-19 patients. We asked her to share what the experience was like and the perspective she gained. \n\nTESTING\, TESTING\, TESTING\nTesting lies at the core of an effective coronavirus response. Another member of the medical panel in both SLO and Santa Barbara counties\, Dr. Kevin Ferguson\, will lay out how the region’s testing strategy is taking shape. He’ll also break down the crucial differences between diagnostic and antibody testing plus the value and limitations of each. \n\nNOVEL CHALLENGES FROM A NOVEL SITUATION\nThe pandemic has brought a host of new interpersonal tensions\, from that friend or co-worker who has a whole different take on social distancing to encounters with strangers over masks or distance. Creative Mediation’s Samantha Watkins will offer some tools and guidance on navigating the new social challenges of the coronavirus era. \n\nSTAYING MENTALLY TOUGH IN THE NEW NORMAL\nIt’s been a long couple months\, and all of us are feeling the strain. Gymnazo co-owner and pep-talk pro Paden Hughes will speak to the critical importance of adopting and maintaining a healthy mindset\, including top tips on staying strong both physically and mentally in this uniquely challenging time. \n\nGOOD MORNING SLO BREAKFAST SPECIALS FROM OUR MEMBERS \nCoastal Peaks Roasters\nYour choice of pastry and a\n12oz hot or 16oz cold beverage\n$5\n7-8 a.m. only \n3566 S.
