Well we’re on the roller coaster now. What a great community to be riding it with though! Yahee!.
Down & dirty-Stay home, kick back and get ready to do your bit by staying fit (with Denise, full week’s schedule below). The Health Department is asking anyone who can stay home to do so, particularly those at highest risks-60+ and/or have a pre-existing condition. The longer we delay, the longer we stay, so do the right thing. Oh and please you can have all the TP you want but if there’s a run on chocolate, I’m taking names.
Oh yeah, and there’s this weather thing happening. Nature is pitching in this week to make sure you get the message to stay home. Please be sure to call neighbors and friends to check on them though. This can be a particularly tough time for anyone who is in quarantine. Oh, sorry kids. No more snow days now that remote learning is in place. Gee could that be one of the lasting changes from this pandemic-remote days instead of snow days?
1.WHAT’S HAPPENED IN THE LAST 24 HOURS:
• Important Notice-No burning: Fire Warden Roger Sheehan said there will be No burn permits issued. This is to eliminate the Fire Warden from having to go to someone’s property to inspect the pile to be burned. It will also eliminate added chances for firefighters to be called out for uncontrolled fires creating possible exposure issues for firefighters and working in close proximity to each other.
• Yup you can have a slice of Lyme with your Corona. Already receiving reports that the ticks are out and about. Stick to the roads and paths if you are out walking.
• So they’re bringing back the shag and ditchin’ the tats: All close contact businesses are ordered to close today. This includes salons, gyms, spas, fitness centers, tattoo parlors etc. Be sure to check out Jane Hart’s drawing just for that occasion, “Jill felt weird without her weekly mani-pedi.
• For those making masks, with the pattern we posted on Saturday, Dartmouth has already provide information about where to drop them off. DHMC has lots of press about this. so you might want to consider Springfield or Ascutney Hospitals as well as our first responders. Springfield is supposed to announce today what type of mask they’d like you to make. Will post to Facebook as soon as I hear.
• Vermont’s cases are rapidly rising, in part because of the breakout in Burlington. There are 8 cases in Windsor County now and 52 statewide.
• We’ve done the research so you don’t have to. Women use slightly more than a role of toilet paper a week, while men use slightly less. In short, based on scientific data, a family of two can make do with two for a week. Judge accordingly and buy what you need for two weeks at a time. There is no shortage in the supply chain, just people who think a toilet paper fortress is going to save them from Covid-19. Remember, no hoarding the chocolate!
• Substance abuse treatment providers and recovery centers around Vermont are now offering over-the-phone services and video sessions to increase social distancing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn more
• Blood is needed. If you can donate contact the American Red Cross.
• GE to close Rutland plants for two days after worker tests positive for COVID-19:
• Solidarity at 8: The VT State Police have started #solidarity at 8-At 8 pm every day, go on your balcony or open your windows, and cheer for the health care workers on the front lines of this pandemic (or just spend a few moments in thought). #stayhome #flattenthecurve #sovid19
3 .SANITY TIP FOR THE DAY: You can only live in the moment you are in. Obsessing over “when will this end,” just makes it more challenging. When you start to obsess try a short yoga break with Kripalu-most are around 5 minutes.
4. TAKE A BREAK: We need a way to show our solidarity as a community, to one another, to our essential workers, who are going out every day to help protect us and to the world. Need your ideas about what we can make. Our town colors are green and white. Post them to Facebook or send them to cavendishconnects.com
