A thank you message from Carissa:
We will get through this together.
The spread of the coronavirus has introduced a great deal of uncertainty into all of our lives. In some ways, it feels like I am back in DC as a young Americorps volunteer on September 11. I share the same sense of unknown, concern for my friends and loved ones, and deep appreciation for our first responders.
I am also deeply appreciative of the community I am a part of, as each of us steps forward to do our part. Here are some basic things that you can do:
1. Share your appreciation for our janitorial workers, grocery store workers, delivery people, health care workers, and first responders.
2. Stay home and practice physical distancing.
3. If you have a cough, temperature, or other respiratory symptoms, please call your healthcare provider. Many clinics and hospitals have already set up systems to support you that don’t require you to come to clinic.
4. If you need an ambulance, alert them that you are experiencing respiratory symptoms.
5. Patronize our local businesses as much as possible while maintaining physical distancing.
6. Share data-based resources with people around you.
