Dear Members,
Last week I attached a video to my letter from a physician on the front lines in treating Covid-19 patients in a New York hospital. Although most of his information was valuable, the medical world's knowledge of this new disease is evolving. At the time it was filmed, it was believed that very young people were not susceptible to the illness. We know now that, although still in small numbers, this population is at risk at well.
Information that we receive changes on an ongoing basis. Initially, we read that the wearing face masks was not needed unless we were contagious, and very recently it was recommended that everyone wear one outside, especially in stores or any environment where we would be in close proximity to others. The "6 feet" distance between people is still recommended.
For ongoing information, the most accurate and updated suggestions can be found on the CDC website.
Thank you, and stay safe.
Beverly Graham
