Alert

It is absolutely critical that citizens follow the guidelines for slowing the spread of COVID-19.

It is absolutely critical for the American people to follow the guidelines.  According to medical professionals, it is now a matter of life and death.

The new “30 Days to Slow the Spread” guidelines are an extension of the strategy implemented just over two weeks ago and include guidance on social distancing, working from home, washing hands frequently, and avoiding any unnecessary travel.

This is going to be a very bad two or maybe even three weeks. 
 

The extension of the social distancing guidelines comes after Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and other public health officials on the White House coronavirus task force ominously warned that even if the U.S. were to continue to do what it was doing -- keeping the economy closed and most Americans in their homes -- the coronavirus could still leave 100,000 to 240,000 people in the United States dead and millions infected.

Without any measures in place to mitigate the contagion's spread, those projections jump to between 1.5 and 2.2 million deaths from COVID-19.

Following these guidelines is imperative and should be taken seriously by all citizens.
