Dear reader,

The topic today is: Coronavirus - are we supposed to worry?

Unless you have been in a cave or under a rock the Covid19 coronavirus has been coming at you from every direction. Maybe your are scared to death. Or maybe you have tuned out anything to do with coronavirus because -- well, who knows why a person would do this.

I know today of a person who decided he and others would be safe in a large religious event because "Jesus would take care of him." I should point out that this person has many underlying health conditions, conditions for which he takes lots of medicine. But apparently Jesus isn't supposed to be protecting him from THOSE conditions. I find this reasoning to be confusing and suspect Jesus does too.

What I suggest is that you find out how to assess your own susceptibility for Covid19, and the degree to which you need to protect yourself and others. This link takes you to my most recent post on just that topic.

As you know, I usually write about health and diet. However, if you have arrived today with poor health, underlying health conditions, and immune compromised, it is frankly too late for a knee jerk "fix." It is thus very important that you determine what other tactics will give you the best chance.

Our economy and that of the whole world will be impacted by this pandemic in major ways. But not dying in a virus pandemic or contributing to someone else's demise is the most important.

As always, if you have questions, comments, or just want to talk more about this, please reply to this email. I promise to respond.
