COVID-19 Tracking in YOUR community. April 2021

 
COVID-19 crisis.  A real-world event substitutes for an exercise, not like the past ‘Zombie Attacks’ that were the focus during the highlight of a major television show still in syndication.
 
After-Action reports, Case Studies data and information must be constantly updated for improvements, not blame.  A total quality management (TQM) approach. 
 
Gather the data for your community.  The CDC  COVID Data Tracker should be helpful for all.  
 
Improve and expand on what we call in BEMA International the C5&P (Cooperation, Collaboration, Communication, Coordination, Community engagement, and  Partnering), or we may just return to business as usual with the same results.  Unnecessary loss of lives.
