Ray Horner Show

:17 - Was the virus we know as COVID-19 formed in a lab in Wuhan, or was it due to bats inside a wet market? These are the theories going around, with “did China purposely spread this virus” being another, as discussed by the morning show panel.

4:42 - If indeed Ohio slowly starts to reopen, how will this affect Akron? What needs to be done to ensure the safety of the businesses and citizens? These questions are on the desk of Mayor Dan Horrigan, as he is communicating daily with the governor’s office as to what the next step is. The mayor also talked about the sewer program, which was put to good use recently with the heavy spring rains and snow.

13:40 - Dr. Hazel Barton from the University of Akron has been studying and teaching coronaviruses for two decades, and she shared her expertise with the Ray Horner Morning Show.

Though he has residences in New York and California, Corbin Bernsen is an adopted Akronite. Not only is Corbin an actor (LA Law, Major League, Psych, among others), he is also a filmmaker, and that industry has definitely taken a hit during the Coronavirus outbreak and the corresponding lockdown.

:17 - While many have thrown blame towards President Trump and his administration for a lackluster response to the COVID-19 outbreak at the beginning, Trump has thrown it back on the World Health Organization, even halting funding to the WHO. The morning show panel touched on that subject to kick off the show.

5:00 - Foodbanks all across the country have been slammed with folks in need, and the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank is no exception. Dan Flowers is the executive director, and he tells Ray Horner they have had a 100% increase in first-time visitors to the foodbank since the economic lockdown fell in place. He said they are not in need of volunteers, but gave the opportunity for folks to donate.

10:23 - Play ball? Kind of, for the Akron RubberDucks, as they will have their “opening night” on Friday. With the help of MLB The Show, the Ducks are able to have a virtual home opener, according to owner Ken Babby, who also touched on the business side of baseball these days.

18:06 - Finding yourself skipping the healthy foods these days for a box of cookies? Maybe a full carton of ice cream? Rella Rotondo from Summa Health is a nutritionist who shared her expertise in proper nutrition and portion control.

18:12 - If Google and Apple developed technology to test one’s blood for vaccines, would you participate? Or is this a George Orwell, 1984-like thought experiment?
