Happy Advent and Merry Christmas!
We have had lots of interesting blog posts lately! Here is a review of a few of the topics over the last week and a preview of what’s coming up in the next few days:
Some of the topics in the last week …
- NH and Cheshire County covid rates remain scary high (Dec. 8). It’s astonishing to me that the positivity rate is around 20%. So when you’re waiting in the line of cars for your PCR test at the hospital, there will be someone with covid-19 in one out of every five cars! Remember that earlier in the pandemic, they always wanted the positivity rate to be 5% or below?
- Important background info to our reports (Dec. 9). The full WHO recommendations including their fresh air ventilation rate. Our complete guide to HEPA air purifiers which remove the virus from the room air. And full info on the BinaxNOW home test including false negatives and positives.
- A current list of covid-19 symptoms to watch for (Dec. 11). It’s no longer simple, looking for a cough or sore throat or fever as the leading symptom. It could be a headache, or a feeling of unusual fatigue. When in doubt, test!
And in the days ahead …
- New tips for gathering 100% safely for the holidays.
- A research study that found that more than half of the covid-19 cases in the test cities were linked to inside dining in restaurants. Published Dec. 6th, this has received little play in the national news.
- Due to our first-in-the-nation level of covid-19 virus in our community, we have revised our company policy on covid-19 safety, and we’ll share this with you.
