Everything returns to normal May 1st—right? That’s when our governor says each county can decide to fully reopen if they wish, so pandemic is over! Not so fast. The reality is that as long as county vaccination rate remains under 35%, new COVID-19 variants keep popping up, and mask-wearing remains optional for most, then look […]

How quickly the world has changed. COVID-19 cases have dropped off the charts since January. Why? Not because everyone suddenly became mask-compliant, began washing their hands religiously, or maintained six feet of separation while in public spaces. You know why. Whether you believe that COVID-19 is real, that vaccines are effective and safe, or that […]

Last month’s “super-spreader” event that resulted in COVID-19 infection spike is behind us, county positivity rate is lowest it has been since last fall—so, are we through with pandemic? Hardly! The finish line may be faintly visible on the distant horizon but still a long way to go before we get there and life returns […]

It may be a new year but still feels like 2020; guess that’s why this month is named after a Roman god with two faces—one looking ahead, the other to the past. January seems much like the prior ten miserable months. Many of us won’t celebrate a new year until this pandemic is behind us. […]

May your days be merry and bright! For Lefa L. Seran nursing home residents, the past month was anything but—more dark and lonely due to the pandemic, but that changed on the Monday evening before Christmas. On a clear starry night (Jupiter and Saturn adding to the sparkle), several residents joined staff in search of […]

November, like 2020 in general, won’t be missed. That said, the goal for this month’s column is to share as much factual information as possible with you in regard to COVID-19 and its impact on the hospital, community and—most of all—our nursing home. The numbers will certainly change (likely for the worse) by the time […]
