Thursday on Political Rewind, we are joined by the chief executive officer of Grady Health System John Haupert to discuss the response and preparedness for the coronavirus in Georgia.

Several models show a surge of virus patients in mid-April, do hospitals statewide have the resources to respond?

And Gov. Brian Kemp is expected to formally declare a statewide shelter-in-place order today after months of pressure. The order restricts residents from non-essential travel, but allows room for outdoor activity given social distancing is respected.

Panelists:

John Haupert – Chief Executive Officer, Grady Health System

Kevin Riley – Editor, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Carrie Teegardin – Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
