Hello Readers,
I’m happy to be back after a busy spring where there have been good news and some bad news.
Five of my family members died within the last 7 months, and none of them died from covid. Cancer, Accidents, and Murder are some of the reasons for the death of these relatives. It makes you think that there is so much more to think about besides the Pandemic.
Yes, I’ve gotten 2 of my vaccines, but will they hold up for the new Delta virus. We don’t know quite, but what I do know and what has been seen lately is that you at least have some protection and if you do get covid, you won’t end up in the hospital and on a ventilator.
Many people don’t have the correct information about the vaccine and are fearful of taking it. I can understand that fear, but you don’t have many choices. Hopefully keeping up your immune system is vital. Encouraging your family, friends, and associates to get the vaccine can protect all of us.
It is a number game, but also a time game of the race to prevent people from getting and dying of this horrible virus!
We are truly all in this together and it’s good to be kind, wise, and watchful of any new updates. Masking up in large gatherings can be helpful as well as keeping your distance. Simple things like getting tested at intervals, even though you have gotten both or the one vaccine by Johnson, is actions you can do to make sure you are OK and prevent others from getting sick. The testings and vaccines are free, so get your vaccines, and encourage others to do the same.
Thank you for visiting this site and let’s keep fighting this virus until it is eradicated!
Thank God for the wisdom of Scientists and Researchers who have made living through this Pandemic with hope. We are truly thankful to the first responders and all associated who have given their lives to medically care and save others.
Your local Health Department, Primary doctor, internet, and your local state resource numbers, (In New Jersey it is 211-they also have many other informational resources) are places you can get information to make your appointments to receive the covid-19 vaccine. Many of the Drug Stores-Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, Urgent Care centers-are still scheduling vaccine appointments. There are Covid-19 apps you can download on your phone that will notify you of what’s new.
It takes all of us to do our parts to come out of this crisis for many people have lost love ones to this pandemic.
This Pandemic has taken a toll on many people’s lives and way of life as they knew it. Just to maintain a job and family is very difficult alone. The Pandemic has changed the way we do things in our daily lives. Good government leadership is now giving support to families and the community to assist some of the problems that this Pandemic has caused. Your planning is truly different now I’m sure. The Pandemic has made life different in many ways. Decisions in our lives are more prioritized. Especially when it comes to child care and safety for them in the home and outside of the home.

keeping several masks with you at all times and a spare for friends and family that travel with you is a good thing to do to keep prepared and safe.

Handwashing is the universal method to prevent the spread of germs. Twenty seconds is the suggested amount of time to wash hands. Know the symptoms of covid and follow up on any of the symptoms. Seek help as soon as possible If you have any of the symptoms of Covid-19!
