Go Enjoy Life, While Staying Safe

A lot of the things we would normally do, are not safe to do right now.  Gathering close with friends and distant family, being in crowds of strangers, is probably not the safest thing to do right now.  But there is still so much we can do.  We can take a ride, drive by and see the sights.  Take a walk, but keep your distance from others, wear a mask when you can't keep your distance.  

There was an article written by a Harvard Medical School professor in the Journal of the American Medical Association this past week, maybe not a perfect source, but a much more reliable source of facts than politicians, Facebook, or Twitter.  The article discussed COVID-19 transmission.  There is more that is uncertain, than there is that is certain.  Short of a pressure controlled hazmat suit,  nothing is 100%.  But, what they do know is that simple facemasks, the kind they describe as surgical masks, of paper or fabric, will prevent the majority of transmission.   It is more critical that the person who is contagious wear a mask, the impact for the person exposed is less, but there is still some protection.  Because you can be contagious, and not have a clue you have been exposed, the best advice is wear a mask whenever you are within 2-meters of other people.  This may not get risk to zero, but it significantly reduces the risk of transmission.  

I know the people that need to read that paragraph, are likely not my regular readers.  Maybe you can share this with those who need to read it.  If we do these simple things, we can reduce the risk, and get out, put the top down, and experience the adventure.  (The photo was taken on the Pacific Coast Highway in California, a group of car lovers had pulled in for a break from their slow ride up the coast.) I love the red leather interior.  

Are you ready for adventure?
