We have marked major milestones of the COVID-19 pandemic these last two weeks. We are coping with great loss, while catching glimmers of hope. We have lost over 514,000 American lives to COVID-19. On the hopeful side, Cases and deaths are down from their post-holiday peak, but even those numbers are plateauing. Over 51 million people have received at least one vaccine in the US. Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine has joined the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in the fight to immunize Americans against COVID-19. There is hope that most American adults could be vaccinated by the summer. Many more students are safely returning to school buildings. This is all great news that shows that vaccines, masks and avoiding crowds work to slow the spread of COVID-19. That does not mean that we let go of our our parachute mid-air, just because we slowed down. Yes, I am looking at you, Texas. Governments, communities, businesses, schools, families and individuals need to continue to take the precautions which slow the spread of COVID-19. Even if you are technically “allowed” to eat inside at a restaurant, travel or go to a gym or grocery store without a mask, please think twice. Spring break can wait. Get your vaccine when it is your turn and help a neighbor to do so as well. Listen to Dr. Fauci, Dr. Walensky and Dolly Parton. If we stay careful now, we can save lives and make it to the summer and a closer to normal life. Hang onto your parachute (mask) a little bit longer, friends. https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/event-planning-safer-vs-spreader monthly 0.5 2022-04-11 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/gb0no64exf3rjfutrue8joz2v52v25 monthly 0.5 2022-03-01 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/path-out-of-the-pandemic-september-9-white-house-update monthly 0.5 2021-09-10 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/back-to-school-2021-new-normal-or-the-delta-blues monthly 0.5 2021-09-09 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/m591tjxhuwtqr0vhk48vpcglqodkif monthly 0.5 2021-03-03 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/masks-make-people-and-communities-safer-the-cdc-updates-their-guidance monthly 0.5 2020-11-11 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/a-safer-flu-season-how-employers-can-keep-their-teams-safer-cnbtm monthly 0.5 2020-11-05 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/be-safer-when-you-vote-in-person monthly 0.5 2020-11-02 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/employers-are-an-important-part-of-covid-defense monthly 0.5 2020-10-30 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/m412w9c79q329ipb7n7q845grv136x monthly 0.5 2020-10-22 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/webinar-wednesday-october-28-100pm-et monthly 0.5 2020-11-02 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/blog/a-covid-safer-halloween-2020 monthly 0.5 2020-10-19 https://www.saferpublichealth.com/home daily 0.75 2021-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee44765b692483f1ed53098/1592057253695-3SUI7THV8BJQ7CO0K2KU/covid+image+jpg Home - COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has killed over 650,000 Americans and changed the way we live, work and learn. https://www.saferpublichealth.com/about daily 1.0 2025-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee44765b692483f1ed53098/1612563670308-TD9AIGUDTL8X25ZDSQTI/Rosche%2BHeadshot%2B12.22.20%2B%25281%2529.jpg About Claire Rosché Matzzie, PA-C, MPH, MSCP Claire an experienced, bilingual Family Medicine Physician Assistant committed to providing Menopause Care and Reproductive Health care to women and all who need reproductive health care.
