COVID, It Ain't Over!

When I wake up on Memorial Day weekend and see that it is 48° outside, I think God is tryna' tell us something about COVID. It ain't over! Slow your roll and stay home! 

Despite the push to tell us otherwise, our thirst to resume normal living is being manipulated in the interest of politics and the Benjamins. It has little to do with protecting us and/or our health. 

It is no coincidence that this relief nor the convenient "gas shortage" arrive just in time for summer and this long awaited holiday weekend. 

Folks understandably were looking to rush to the shore and other parts to enjoy family and friends and kick off summer in a fun way. The merchants, airlines, restaurants and hotels await your dollars. If you know what I believe to be true, you'll take this chilly weekend as a sign to just chill... 

Have fun this summer but with precaution. Still mask up, still practice social distancing, have hand sanitizer in reach and be mindful of not  touching common things in common areas, wash your hands regularly, avoid large crowds especially indoors and don't be hugging and kissing up on one another, especially babies and Granny! A simple hello will do. It ain't personal, it's practical...

This message is for everyone, but if you are not vaccinated, this message is especially important for you. Your vaccinated friends have been encouraged to let their guard down. Receive their less guarded behavior as all the more reason for you to be more guarded...

Just be smart folks! There is nothing magical about sun, summer nor Memorial Day weekend. COVID is alive and well. It ain't over!
