Behind The Mask

For nearly two years, many of us have been wearing some form of face mask in public. It’s become a major flashpoint for some. My attitude has always been I’m willing to put up with the inconvenience if it keeps me healthy.
Masking for Health

But now, the CDC has issued amended guidelines for wearing masks. Many communities across the country can now relax their mask guidelines, and that’s good news. Sadly, they’ve advised those of us in Nashville to keep our masks on a bit longer.

Now, I know you don’t need a commentary from me about mask-wearing. In all honesty, there’s one reason I wrote about these updated guidelines. Finding this new county-by-county information is a challenge. But, the CDC did create a handy-dandy widget for us to track this updated data. And since the CDC website can be a hassle to navigate, I’ve included their tracking tool right here.

Hopefully, this info will be much easier for you to find here.

Wash Your Hands

The Coronavirus has changed so many things over the last couple of weeks. We all truly hope that the panic so many are feeling is only temporary.

The one thing that the government, the experts, and every media outlet have repeatedly reminded us, is that the best way (at this point) of fighting off COVID-19 is to wash your hands often. And we should be washing our hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds numerous times a day.

For many people simply counting to 20 is just too tedious. And for those people, we’ve found something that we think can make that 20 seconds a bit more fun. It’s the Hand Washing Song.

The immensely creative folks at ReelWorld and Reel2Media (an audio and video production company) have created not only an audio version of this catchy song but also a video version.

So if you’re ready, c’mon and follow the bouncing ball…
