                                            I spoke to a long time friend today who works at a community fitness center. She had family and friends NOT living in the same house and had NO contact with her. They were sick and one died of COVID. I suggested she post it on social media to let other friends and family know about the COVID affecting someone they know. 
She said she was afraid to be a pariah, that people would not come in to see her because they might think somehow she would have COVID! 
I THINK WE SHOULD SPREAD THE WORD that COVID SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, that we should listen to scientists and healthcare providers. Follow proper precautions to protect ourselves and others. 
At our facility, we observe very carefully all precautions and we test our staff when having any doubt at all. I think because we were carefully and thorough that we have not had any transmission within our company and patients.
Our patients have confidence in us and continue to come to a hygienic environment for their pain relief and functional improvements. They're happy and happiness does scientifically boost immunity through production on neuro chemicals within our bodies. 
I'm posting so that our patients, families, and friends will respect your health and take care of yourselves and your loved ones properly: 
Wash hands, use hand sanitizer, wipe down objects you need to touch, (I) wear double masks if not N95 or KN95, stay 6 feet apart, eat in hygienic places with minimal people around to reduce your exposure risks.
When in doubt, get tested at free centers in your community.
