> Greetings friends, and family. I hope this note finds everyone healthy, with a cool place to be, and safe. I wanted to share the below podcast resource for your future reference. Though this is not specifically oriented to blind and visually impaired people I thought this resource may be something that could be helpful to you as you make decisions when traveling, attending public events across the country, etc. Though the map is not accessible there are places to acquire accessible  covid DATA and other information you would need to make an informed choice about yours and your families continued safety. Should you be unaware of these resources, or need direction to the data please don’t hesitate to reach out directly.
