Troy, Ohio Fire Chief Is Concerned About Negative Effect of Governor’s COVID Policies
November 20, 2020 Jack WindsorTroy Fire Chief Matt Simmons has watched Ohio’s COVID response and the statewide statistics since Ohio began responding to the virus.
“We had the local health department come in and talk with us back in the beginning. What they were saying was pretty grim,†said Simmons.
Fast-forward to November and according to the state website, COVID cases have gone up exponentially in previous weeks and hospitalizations for COVID patients have climbed to all-time highs.
But the statistics that Chief Simmons keeps mulling over are that Miami County (where Troy is located) has seen overdose calls increase by 137%, while suicide calls have spiked an alarming 500%, according to the Chief.
