Early life and education
Acton was born Amy Stearns and raised on the north side of Youngstown, Ohio, living "in 18 different places in a 12-year period, including in a tent when she was homeless." She described in a 2020 interview with Youngstown's WKBN having random neighbors give her and her brother breakfast "because they knew we were hungry" and also "people looking the other way, not wanting their kids to play with me because we were dirty and smelly." She described in a 2019 interview being neglected and abused while she lived with her mother following her parents' divorce. By 7th grade she was living with her father in a more stable environment, and at Liberty High School was a member of the National Honor Society and Homecoming queen.
She attended Youngstown State University and earned a medical degree from Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine in 1990, working to pay her way through college. She earned a master's in public health from The Ohio State University. She served residencies at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Career
Acton taught at Ohio State University as an associate professor of public health. She worked at the Columbus Foundation as a grants manager. She was director of Project LOVE (Love Our kids, Vaccinate Early).
In February of 2019, Ohio governor Mike DeWine made her his final cabinet pick as director of the Department of Health. The search process was lengthy, as DeWine had been determined to have the right person in charge in a crisis. Acton is the first woman in the post. The two previous incumbents were a lawyer and a marketing director; DeWine mentioned wanting to "rethink how we approach this department".
In 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, Acton advised Governor Mike DeWine, who became the first governor in the nation to shut down schools and limit gatherings to no more than 100 people, despite the fact Ohio at the time had only 3 confirmed cases. Ohio was also the first state to shut down bars and restaurants, done at a point when Ohio had fewer than 40 confirmed cases. Acton soon after estimated that Ohio's then 5 confirmed cases likely translated to 100,000 actual cases, making national news. In mid-March, she predicted cases could peak in late April to mid-May.
On March 12, she predicted of the coronavirus pandemic that "This will be the thing this generation remembers." Ohio House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes called her "the real MVP of Ohio’s coronavirus response." The Dayton Daily News called her "Ohio's trusted face during the pandemic."
Acton was key in the decision to postpone Ohio's 2020 primary and issues election, which was slated for March 17, 2020. The day before the scheduled election, Governor DeWine declared it canceled, only for a judge to rule that he did not have the authority to do so. Acton then ordered polling places closed due a public health emergency. It was later determined that the election would be conducted entirely by mail-in absentee ballot for those who had not participated in early voting.
In March 2020, Ohio T-shirt manufacturer Homage released a t-shirt that paid tribute to her. CNN in April 2020 called her "the Buckeye state's version of the straight-talking Dr. Anthony Fauci".

The Urban Dictionary describes a 'Karen' as a pejorative name associated with middle-aged women, typically blonde, who make solutions to others' problems an inconvenience to them.
For example, a Karen refusing to wear a face mask for her 5 minute trip to the supermarket during a pandemic. She will harass the workers, demand to see the manager and threaten to sue.
I cleared my browser cache and returning to YouTube some new 'Karen' videos were suggested. I would have thought by now these women would have calmed down, but it's done the opposite way!
The attached video has some Karen's found at the airport and a woman who wants to purchase alcohol and pay with her Platinum American Express but refuses to show I.D.
All that fuss for something required by law.
any strange person meet for the first time and ask him or her so tell me your dark secrets.

....have now raised the level of concern over the spread of the Novid 19 virus, one of Donald Trump and Bubba Bush's biggest nefarious creations yet, to "Very High". I'm placing positive air flow plastic protective barriers around my tree house love nest. I know how so many CS beauties were getting concerned. Fear no more, ladies. And as always, you can trust me, your own little Vierkie, I'm not like all those others.
Some 84 year olds just putt putt around the house.

...My favorite had to hit us right during the peak initial homonal surge years---8th grade. Which incidentally is also the toughest 5 year period for most liberals. Miss D. The name rhymes with deadlips, and boy did she have some pairs, of these and others, way before Brazilian collagen injections. We used to joke that they weren't there from sucking on lolly pops. But I digress. her first year teaching, tall (for us Azorean midgets), stiff, and very proper, with her English accent to match. Always in red (F-ck me) high heels. What the hell was this immigrant perfumed tasty prize doing in our proletarian neighborhood? God could she conjugate verbs and decline gerunds, as our English school marm par excellance. She was mostly a bobby soxer, but rarely, just to titillate, she'd show up with those silkies, the ones with the sewed stripe down the back, probably from marmar's collection during the war. a decade erlier. When we yanks were over paid, over sexed and over there. And oversexed we all were, oh those nearly see through loose button up blouses, tucked into that neatly ironed pleated Scottish plaid skirt. Buttoned, never belted. Did this prude image cultivating dream boat really have to wear black lace brazzieres? When she'd bend over to help, with those snarly dangling participles, and other danglers, all were praying to the Lord for a failure in button thread. Her wheels? British of course, but this was years before my becoming a car guy, so who knew, ---but it was a green sports car? Like mine now---go figure, the unconscious.Until I write these words, I've always wondered why foreign chicks turn me on. As do all those accents, even those from out Southland. Religiously always ate her lunch at her desk, brown bag of course, very much a holdover from those days of ration coupons. She still appears in an occasional dream, bringing on the now rare midnight stiffie. Armacord. Y'all know how dreams work, perhaps she'll be there between me and Bravo tonight. Get away big dog.
