When This is All Over

When this is all over, I will never turn down an invitation to a party.
When this is all over, I will never complain about having to go to work.
When this is all over, I will always wash my hands.
When this is all over, I will sometimes think, "You know what? Maybe it wasn't so bad. After all, falling down into a really big hole and not being able to get out for what has been a few weeks on account of the even bigger rockthat rolled down a hill and got stuck on the top of what could have been my exitwill actually be a good story to tell my grandchildren someday.
When this this is all over, I will remind myself  . . .

 If you want to see the rest of this article, send me an email and I'll send it to you!

Breaking News: Important News about the Transmission Factors for COVID-19

NPR announced today that 250 Scientists all throughout the world wrote a petition to the World Health Organization (WHO) about the  fact that the COVID-19 virus can be t ransmitted not only by mouth droplets but also by breath aerosols.    What does this mean?   It means that when you are out and about someone walking by you might have COVID-19 and their just breathing out of a non-approved mask the virus has the ability to "aerosols" or stay in the air for a period of time.   This changes everything! If I am going to be teaching face-to-face in the Fall (and it looks like I may), I am going to have an industrial sized wind fan in front of me. Not kidding! It will be the only way you'll get me in the classroom. The scientist who was being interviewed said that he has submitted his finding to a medical journal about this so it is based in fact. When I get more specific facts I will update this with those facts! Just wanted to get this important information o...

Is the Indoor Air You Are Breathing Safe?

The following article is a summary of what was written by Camila Domonoske on WAMC.org and originally published  on Aug 24, 2020.   (Source:  https://www.wamc.org/post/we-return-work-and-school-during-pandemic-can-air-inside-be-kept-safe ) Across America, buildings are opening back up — offices, schools, theaters, stores, restaurants — even as evidence mounts that the coronavirus circulates through the air we breathe.

The Stress Solution

I have been either walking or biking every day since all of this Coronavirus has started. Because I have been doing daily aerobic activity I have been sleeping better, having better daily blood sugar results, and less anxiety We all are going through daily MSDs ( Micro-Stress-Doses ) every minute of every day due to this virus. Human beings are not constructed to deal with MSDs in a pro-longed state. When that happens it can turn into chronic diseases like arthritis, cardiac disease, diabetes 2, depression, high blood pressure and other chroniuc conditions. That being said there are things that you can do to minimize the effects  of MSD's.  I have been reading the book, " The Stress Solution ," by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, and I am totally supportive of buying and reading this book, and I get no payback on this. It's a great book and I guarantee you would benefit from Dr. Chatterjee's sage advice. In this book Dr. Chatterjee talks about a complete re...
