LAST MINUTE moM’S day gifts she won’t wanna return!

For the Tech Savvy Mom

APPLE GIFT CARD

A recent survey says, 9 out of 10 Mom's are super tech savvy or have the aptitude for learning how to use the latest devices.

Ok, I just made up that statistic but it sounds good for those of you who need the stats to be convinced that upgraded tech gear for Mom is a brilliant gift idea.

Apple gift cards can be instant and broken down into any denomination. The thought here is very REAL. I'm sure your Mom could use an upgrade from Zooming off of her iPhone 5. How about replacing the 2012 laptop with Apple's latest iPAD or smart watch? Update her old headset for wireless AirPods? Apple gift cards can be used for anything and everything under the brand umbrella including Apps, Arcade and Music. Mom has no excuses. Apple recently reinstated their "in person" tutorials so she can spend hours learning how to navigate on any of Apple's latest gear. No time like the present!

HOW DOES THE CORONAVIRUS SPREAD and WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

March 06, 2020Gina Giordan

UPDATED FACTS on the CORONAVIRUS. THE SYMPTOMS and how the virus SPREADS…

1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold.

2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.

3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.

4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.

5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.

6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. Normal laundry detergent will kill the virus.

7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.

8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.

9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.

10. Can't emphasize enough - Drink plenty of water!

THE SYMPTOMS

1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days

2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.

3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.

4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.

As Coronavirus Spreads, Here’s What You Can Do

As coronavirus, or COVID-19, spreads globally, public health experts suggest these 5 vital steps to take now for prevention:

Wash your hands

Experts agree that washing your hands frequently is one of the most important acts in preventing virus spread. During an outbreak, proper hand-washing is your best defense against a virus. So, follow the evidence-based advice to wash for 20 seconds or more using soap and water. In addition, you may want to forego hugging and hand-shakes, and embrace "low-touch" salutations such as the elbow bump.

Self-quarantine if you feel sick

Stay home if you aren’t feeling well, and encourage your friends and coworkers to do the same. Keep your distance from other people. As for what constitutes far enough, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends maintaining at least “three feet of distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.”

Should you start to feel ill, stay out of public areas to avoid spreading the sickness. But if you develop more than mild symptoms, particularly if you have any trouble breathing, then seek immediate care.

Refrain from touching your face

Don't touch your face, eyes, nose, and mouth since you can transmit a virus in a single touch. While coming into contact with a contaminated surface won’t immediately confirm the spread, infection occurs when you touch your eyes, your mouth, or the inside of the nose. Another solution is to wipe down your surroundings with disinfectant wipes before coming into contact with them.

Carry hand sanitizer

Although washing with soap and water is king, coating hands with hand sanitizer is a handy on-the-go method. The CDC recommends an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol (for example, Purell has 70%).

Stock up on essentials

Beyond hand soap, make sure you have at least a little food in your house in case you decide to stay at home for a few days. When you’re doing bulk buying, remember that surgical masks do not need to be top of the list. The standard paper surgical masks on the news have virtually no protective value for healthy people. Masks are most important for health care workers taking care of sick people.

CORONAVIRUS 101 - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...

March 04, 2020Gina Giordan

From Dr. Wang Zhou and his colleagues at the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention comes a must-have guide for preparing for an outbreak of the coronavirus virus (OCID-19).

AS THE CORONAVIRUS CONTINUES TO SPREAD ACROSS THE TRI-STATE, it’s important to remain calm and arm yourself with the most basic information at hand.

You could invest in this timely handbook, “101 Science-Based Tips That Could Save Your Life,” By Wang Zhou or just familiarize yourself with these basic facts, don’t panic and be sure to sign up for daily updates from the CDC.Gov.

What is coronavirus?

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals. COVID-19 Novel (meaning “new”) coronavirus is a virus strain that has only spread in people since December 2019. There are thousands of confirmed cases in China and additional cases being identified in a growing number of countries internationally, including the United States.

How does novel coronavirus spread?

The virus that causes COVID-19 probably emerged from an animal source, but now it seems to be spreading from person to person. Since this virus is very new, health authorities continue to carefully watch how this virus spreads. Other coronaviruses spread from an infected person to others through:

The air by coughing and sneezing
Close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands
Touching an object or surface with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes

How can I prevent getting novel coronavirus?

Currently there are no vaccines available to prevent novel coronavirus infections.

Steps you can take to prevent spread of flu and the common cold will also help prevent coronavirus:
Please be aware that we have hand sanitizers in all training rooms as well as soap in all 5 bathrooms.

Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands
Avoid close contact with people who are sick
Stay home while you are sick and avoid contact with others
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
Push doors open with elbows when possible.
Use tissues to open bathroom doors when leaving.
Instructors will avoid handshakes and high fives to students and parents as a safety measure as well.

How severe is novel coronavirus?

People infected have had illness that has ranged from mild (like a common cold) to severe pneumonia that requires medical care in a hospital. So far, deaths have been reported mainly in older adults who had other health conditions.

What are the symptoms?

People who have been diagnosed with novel coronavirus have symptoms that may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after exposure to the virus. Symptoms may include fever, cough, and shortness of breath.

How is novel coronavirus treated?

There is no specific treatment for coronavirus. Most people with mild coronavirus illness will recover on their own by drinking plenty of fluids, resting, and taking pain and fever medications. However, some people develop pneumonia and need medical care or treatment in a hospital.

The best ways to prevent the spread of any virus is to make sure children stay home if they are exhibiting any symptoms.

Here are symptoms to look for in the Corona Virus:

*Occur 2-14 days after exposure

- Fever

- Cough

- Shortness of Breathe
