Update on Covid-19

Testing is available in our office

For anyone who is interested in getting tested for the corona virus, testing is available in our office as well as in the labs: Quest and Labcorp, if you don’t want to go to the testing stations.

It is highly recommended that those who took part in the totally justified demonstrations last week get tested this week, just to err on the side of caution.

Healthcare workers suffer major losses

In the US about 600 frontline healthcare workers died from the corona virus. According to the Kaiser Foundation and The Guardian most of the workers identified as African American or Asian/Pacific Islander. The CDC notes 375 deaths among Healthcare “Professionals” but acknowledges that this is probably an undercount.

Worldwide, according to the International Association of Nurses more than 600 nurses lost their lives to Covid-19 as of June 3rd.

Its not over yet!

Its been a rough 3 months so far and we are almost there. Don’t lose patience.

We in Maryland are lucky to have a Governor who relies on science and commonsense to lead, he has saved many lives with his precise directions.

Please don’t quit while we are ahead.

Our hospitalization numbers and deaths are down even though in 19 states the number of cases are still increasing. Currently Maryland has 902 people in hospital of which 358 are in ICU. Nationally there have now been in excess of 112,000 deaths.

Even though things are ‘opening up’ please be cautious and don’t go overboard. Just because you can sit inside in restaurants now doesn’t mean you need to.

Buyer beware! Your nails can wait another two weeks
