Hi, everyone! Did you know that the deadly flu pandemic in 1918 came in 3 waves? Yep, and so far, we’ve only had one wave with specifically COVID-19.

 

I want to remind you that I am neither a doctor, nor medical expert, but want to share with you some important information we’ve gathered.

 

There have been some predictions from health officials, scientists and experts. With some potential reopening of places across the nation - local, state, and national agencies have warned to approach the reintegration of society with care. It has been recommended to continue practicing social distancing especially because:

 

1. The curve hasn’t flattened yet.

2. We still are not familiar with the behaviors of this virus, its capabilities, how it is spread, etc.

3. We do not have vaccines or the cure for this virus yet.

4. It has been predicted that COVID-19 would come again and overlap the flu season, this fall or winter.

 

For more information on history of past pandemics, especially the 1918 flu pandemic, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) website.

 

Stay home, stay safe, stay healthy!
