34. During that time
Sat Dec 6, 2025, 11:10 AM
Saturday

I would stream the state's Dr. Levine daily (and then weekly) briefings, Philly's Health Commissioners (initially Dr. Tom Farley's and later, Dr. Cheryl Bettigole's) daily (and then weekly) briefings, and the Montgomery County weekly briefings (lead by County Commissioner Dr. Val Arkoosh, who eventually became the state's Secretary of Human Services).

In some cases, the briefing times were overlapping so I had 2 streams going.

ALL of that was helpful in getting through those early days.
