BACK to School and COVID

Season 1, Episode 161,   Aug 09, 2022, 05:00 PM

Parents and students continue to ask what can they do to prepare themselves for school. Let's face it COVID is not over and it keeps changing. Today we will discuss what we are sharing with our patient family. We hope you will subscribe, like and comment on your favorite platform.


It's not Back... COVID NEVER left!
COVID strains continue to change, similiar to how we prepare for flu season, we know approximately 6 months prior what the strains may be and are predicted based on what is known in the moment. COVID is no different.
 What we are sharing with our patients is to continue to carry that hand sanitizer, remove yourself from an area that a person is coughing. Just recently, a patient traveled to a meeting, their VP gave a seminar and shared while blowing their nose that they have a summer cold, never testing for COVID  and never taking precautions to protect those that were in the small conference room. Guess who all got COVID: yes yes those in the conference room.  So teachers, and business owners and personnel, if you think someone is ill ask to move to a different place in the room, if they won't take precautions.  Offer Over the Counter Covid tests, if you haven't ordered your free supply, order at COVID.gov/tests or call 1-800-232-0233   Illness has led to a shortage of employees, and we want our children to have the opportunity to learn so let's prepare them the best way we know how, which means eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. Remember some children do not have that opportunity. Our grandchildren bring an extra sandwich because at 9 they already see the differences some children do not have and they want to help. Ask the teacher what you can help with, while many teachers are unable to publicly ask for supplies through amazon, consider dropping off sanitizer, tissue and paper towels and ask what else they may need.
 
Let's encourage vitamins in your children, keeping their immune system up is the best way to learn and stay healthy.  We adults need to do the same. For a list of vitamins take a look or listen at our podcast comments on COVID - Recovery 101
