Having something to look forward to is a nice change of pace during this pandemic.

It's quiet here now... but that will be very different tomorrow?

When aircrafts fly over this mayo campus between 1?35 and 1?50.

(show graphic) here's a look at the flight path from the minnesota national guard.

An ?16 flying falcon out of duluth and ?

130 hercules out of fort snelling will make the trip.

The path includes at least 10 communities across the state.

I spoke with mayor kim norton today who tells me residents should come out to watch the display... but do it from their yards... don't congregate together.

Of course that's to adhere to social distancing.xxx i think people are starting to understand that it really also is about protecting our healthcare system.

So that when people do get ill, which is invariably going to happen, that we so have the healthcare system in place in order to keep us safe and respond when they're needed.

I did reach out to the rochester police department who tells me they don't have any special preparations for tomorrow.

They're trusting the community will follow the guidelines.

Live in rochester, calyn thompson, kimt the flight is part of a nationwide effort to recognize health care workers?

Emergency responders?

Food industry?

And other essential workers./// assisted living facilities continue
