糖心传媒淥ne of the basic take-home messages we had was that we糖心传媒檙e right on track in terms of our preparing for our own community,糖心传媒� Miglani said. 糖心传媒淯RMC has done a phenomenal job of really learning from all the places that have been hit very hard, very quickly糖心传媒攁nd taking that knowledge into account and planning ahead since we potentially have that little bit of lead time.

糖心传媒淚t was amazing how everyone rose up to meet the increased demands,糖心传媒� Allen-Thompson said.

Having experienced the dire situation in New York City firsthand, Miglani is unequivocal when it comes to the need for everyone to continue social distancing.

糖心传媒淚 cannot stress enough how important this is for every member of our society, and for every member of our community to be looking out for each other and maintaining those social distancing practices,糖心传媒� Miglani said. 糖心传媒淵ou may not know a loved one who糖心传媒檚 older, or at risk, or immuno-compromised糖心传媒攂ut one of your friends does. That糖心传媒檚 the people we are doing this for.糖心传媒�
