COVID 19 - What have we learned?

Over 70,000 new cases were reported today in the US. It appears that social distancing is still the key factor in reducing your risk of illness and the rate of spread, or at a minimum keep the rate from rising.

It has been 4 months since Covid has changed the way we interact in society. It is time to look at some research and dive into what scientists have learned about the Corona Virus during this time.

There are 3 new insights or theories reported in the New England Journal of Medicine this month regarding the new Covid:

1. Among doctors, the initial thought was that Covid attacked your body as a lung disease. This was modeled after other influenza-like viruses that already exist, but it turns out Covid is quite different. Covid gets into the body through the lungs (and the gut), but it does not stop there. It infiltrates into the blood vessels, attaching itself to the lining of the blood vessels making it a Vascular Disease.

2. It is suspected that the virus is mutating approximately every two weeks. Most of these mutations are of little consequence; they have not changed the function of the virus. With one exception... they have now classified two strains due to mutation: The Wuhan strain and the Italian strain.

3. We have confirmation that is safer (less likely of transmission) outdoors than indoors.

Next week I will break down these theories individually, how they may impact you, talk about how to reduce your risk, and how to reduce your chances of serious complications of infection.

With businesses opening back up, it’s important to take the necessary precautions in order to stay healthy. Our office is offering COVID-19 antibody testing. While it does not detect an active case of COVID-19, it does detect if you have recovered from COVID-19 regardless of the severity or lack of symptoms. The antibody test that we use has been approved by the FDA.

If you are interested, know someone interested, or have questions regarding testing please email [email protected] and we will contact you to set up a test date.

If you’re looking for more ways to protect yourself and your loved ones, check out the CDC website. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html

We are preparing to reopen on Monday, May 18, 2020. We are very excited to see you again!!

We are taking precautions before you arrive very seriously. All touchpoints are disinfected as well as the entire treatment table, bathroom, counters, pens, and even the doctor.

We want to inform you of some of the changes that need to take place in order to keep you safe while you're here in the office:

1. Masks will be required during the entire treatment process. This not only helps to keep you protected from the patient before you but also helps protect the patient after you.

2. Please leave all of your personal belongings (i.e. cellphones, purses, backpacks) at home or in your car. This reduces the amount of cleaning time between patients thus reduces your wait time.

3. You will be required to have your temperature taken prior to treatment. Any temperature above 100.2 will be asked to reschedule their appointment for another day.

4. You will be required to wash your hands before entering the treatment room and lying down.

5. We are encouraging touchless payments through Venmo, Paypal, and Zelle.

6. Appointment times are limited to one patient every 1/2 hour to reduce face to face exposure and allow for proper cleaning.

I know that it will seem a bit different but I promise you my hands and my love for helping you feel better has not changed.

If you or someone you know is interested, I am still testing for COVID-19 anti-body's.

Stay safe!

Copied from a post on my timeline:

Timeless! History repeats itself.
Came across this poem written in 1869, reprinted during 1919 Pandemic.

It was written in 1869 by Kathleen O’Mara:

And people stayed at home
And read books
And listened
And they rested
And did exercises
And made art and played
And learned new ways of being
And stopped and listened
More deeply
Someone meditated, someone prayed
Someone met their shadow
And people began to think differently
And people healed.
And in the absence of people who
Lived in ignorant ways
Dangerous, meaningless and heartless,
The earth also began to heal
And when the danger ended and
People found themselves
They grieved for the dead
And made new choices
And dreamed of new visions
And created new ways of living
And completely healed the earth
Just as they were healed.
