Something we should all read

As the state is trying to slowly reopen I highly recommend you read “The Risks – Know Them – Avoid Them” by Erin Bromage, Ph.D.   This essay covers the risk of contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus in various situations, and is written in clear language.  Though I have touched on many of these points in my writing, I am impressed with this collection of thoughts and information to consider before venturing out into the grocery, the restaurant, a park, work, a public restroom, or church.  These mental tools will help to protect you from COVID-19. I wish everyone would read and understand what is being said in this article by a well-credentialed expert.  Dr. Bromage is an associate professor of biology at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and teaches courses in immunology and infectious disease, including one on the SARS-CoV-2 virus.  Please do yourself a favor and read this heavily circulated discussion.  At the time I referenced it today, the link had nearly 13 million views.
