This is not the place to look for updates about COVID-19. As I have said before, things are changing so fast, it is much better to get information from trusted news sources and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I have made mention though from time to time, and will do so again this morning.
Please trust the people who know. Please. It's important. This isn't political. This isn't a hoax. This is very real. When the CDC issues guidelines, it's because they KNOW. It isn't a game. I know it is terribly inconvenient. I realize too that folks are lonely and holidays are upon us. We still need to stay safe and we need to help others be safe.
One thing I have heard over and over is "My body is strong. I can fight the virus and win." Perhaps. How about your 86 year old grandmother that you went to see? How about that friend of yours who is a diabetic and just had her first round of chemotherapy in her cancer fight? The people you come in contact with might not have an immune system as strong as yours. Think about them too.
We are also now in flu season. Did you get a flu shot? While the COVID-19 vaccine is not yet available, the flu vaccine is. Protect yourself.
One more reminder about all the easy things we can all do to help protect ourselves and those around us. Wear a mask, stay at least six feet apart, avoid crowds, and wash your hands often. Let's all do our part. This will end, but hopefully when it ends, our friends and our family members will still be around. Let's all do our part.
