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?

  1. Your right. Well said. Certain thing you can still do...but must be done carefully. I'm more than ready for my usual summer adventures!!!!! If not for my reader pearl in Ptown and my friend in the woods I might not got out any where. They were both good options because it was in my control to not be near huge crowds or anyone for that matter. But I miss Rehoboth, visiting one friend on FI, and my huge summer trips. Most places just can't control the crowds that show up.

    1. The article went on to talk about respiratory droplets, the heavy stuff we breath out, and aerosolization - small more easily remaining airborne. This second group hangs in the air for longer, in still air, is less likely to be stopped when breathing in by a mask, but is also the smaller category of cause of infection. Aerosols are the reason to stay out of the bar, the enclosed space with strangers.

  3. Oh goodness, yes I'm more than ready. Masks are pretty predominate here these days. I wear one everywhere I go. We have the double whammy of excessive heat along with the virus. So walking these days is out of the question but, I can get out in the car and I do.

    Often when writing blog posts you are speaking to the already converted, that is people with similar views to your own.

    We would call that car a hot rod here.
