130 million Dead COVID- Trump will not require the #1 deterrent -Masks

July 9, 2020

Number 1 Prevention of COVID -19  Wearing A Mask

The Coronavirus yesterday reached the 3 million mark in mark in cases  The number one preventative step we could have taken is to wear masks 

 

Citing Lone Ranger-TRUMP Refuses National Order For Masks

Yet, President Trump refuses to issue a federal order to wear masks and leaves it up to the states. In Texas, where the coronavirus rampages, the  Republican governor has also refused to issue a state order to wear masks. Like ordering the US to wear masks, has something to do with his looks, Trump said a mask makes him look like the Lone Ranger. The Lone Star state topped over 1000 cases 5 days in a row

 

33 Million Would Not Be Dead if Masks Ordered in  October

A new study says wearing masks would have saved 33 million lives since last October. Yet there are still no federal mask requirements.

Lack of President’s National Response Leading to New Depression- Says World Bank

This lack of federal response, like no federal order to wear masks, is not only killing huge swaths of the world population but has torpedoed our economy. President Trump wants to reboot the economy yet by not using federal controls, according to the World Bank the President is moving us to a recession and the cusp of depression worldwide.

Less than half the States Require Masks

Only 20 states require masks as Trump, instead of requiring masks, has left it up to the states. He relented recently, narcissistically,  saying he thought he looked good- like the lone ranger in a mask but ordered no federal requirement. 

Dr. Anthony Fauci predicts a few days ago that the huge COVID spread could leave 100 million a day dying. Masks are our # 1 deterrent again this  slaughter by the omission of using federal powers

33 States Now in Crisis Surge of Virus Sunbelt Devastated

A total of 33 states now have a coronavirus surge with 7 states in the southwest at a crisis level.

Without required preventative steps from the Trump government and the wildfire surge immolating ¾ of our states, COVID 19 is not going away, in fact, may last well into 2021

Mixed -Messaging by President, States, Counties Gives Families no Path to Virus Safety

The problem is made more confusing by the administration’s mixed messaging with different states, cities, counties telling residents what to do to be safe. Families have no idea which way to turn to keep themselves and the most vulnerable senior family members safe.

How Do You Detect COVID–19 Symptoms in Seniors While Living Long Distance?

July 1, 2020

COVID–19  Detecting Symptoms in your loved one from a Distance

We can not always be with our loved ones. Long-Distance Families make approximately 43.5 million caregivers who have provided unpaid care to an adult or child in the last 12 months.  How can you keep a watchful eye on long-distance older family members for symptoms of COVID-19?  First, you will need to know what symptoms to watch and listen to.

Did you know that COVID -19 is known to develop into a severe acute respiratory syndrome and may result in death? The elderly are more susceptible to this contagion simply due to their age. Your job is to become their health detective by paying acute attention to physical symptoms and asking questions when conversing with your loved one.

Symptoms to Listen & Signs to Look for

Signs and symptoms of COVID-19 may appear 2-14 days after exposure, commonly referred to as the incubation period. Common signs and symptoms can include:

  • Fever, cough or tiredness – If your loved one is suddenly not making sense or acting confused when you are talking with them, this could be an indication of having a fever and an infection.  Listen for coughing during your conversation and don’t be afraid to ask if they are napping more often or sleeping longer than usual or if they are weaker than usual.

Other symptoms can/may include:

  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing             Muscle Aches
  • Chills                                                                             Sore Throat
  • Loss of taste or smell                                                 Headache
  • Chest pain

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE OF MEDICAL HISTORY

If your loved one has existing medical conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, severe obesity, chronic kidney or liver disease, or compromised immune systems they may be at greater risk for contracting COVID-19.  

CALL YOUR LOVED ONE’S PCP OR ARRANGE FOR THEM TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY IF MORE THAN ONE OF THESE SYMPTOMS APPEAR.

As your loved one’s health detective – Vigilantly Monitor their Physical Appearance

Call often.  Listen for symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, inability to complete sentences without having to take a breath. Are they suddenly confused or confused more than usual?

Use your technology.  Face time with your loved one. Look at them.  Are they having a hard time breathing?  Watch and count how many times their chest raises per minute. Normal breathes per minute in the elderly is 10-30. With COVID-19 the rate will be lower. Look for the appearance of lost sudden weight loss. The virus can decrease their appetite as it affects their sense of smell, making food less appetizing. Look at your loved one’s lips.  Are they discolored or have a light blue tint? This is a sign of oxygen deprivation and could potentially be very serious.

If you see any of these signs call your loved one’s PCP immediately and take/arrange for them to be taken to the hospital immediately.

Consult with Seniors on COVID-19 Safety Through Telehealth

June 29, 2020

Mixed Messaging to Seniors who are 80% of Deaths in COVID-19- Provide Safe Message Through Telehealth

The elderly and their families are confused about the government’s mixed message about COVID-19.Covid-19 is brutal on the elderly, with those 65 and older accounting for 80% of the U.S. deaths from data the Centers for Disease Control. The Wall Street Journal reports the same vicious statistic -80% of deaths in Europe are older people.

Each World Pandemic Picks its Victims 

This is not just because older people die more than other populations. Each pandemic picks its victims. Only 13% of the estimated 12,469 U.S. deaths in the 2009-2010 H1N1 pandemic were among those 65 and older. The elderly’s apparent resistance to that virus was one reason the fatality rate was so low. The earlier H1N1 strain that caused the pandemic of 1918 and 1919 was much more virulent, causing an estimated 675,000 deaths among a U.S. population less than a third the size of today’s yet killed one-third of the world’s population. It wreaked havoc primarily of young adults.

CDC Muzzled in Telling Seniors & Citizens Real Science

 The coronavirus increasing assault today is made 10 times worse by the mixed messaging in the US. The CDC, once the premier health agency in the world, is now muzzled and states that nursing home residents are at high risk to the coronavirus, where they estimate that 40-60% of all seniors will die. Yet now the CDC  states nursing homes could reopen and defers to the state law when helping the family https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/long-term-care.html.

The present administrations mixed messaging with Covid-19, like the CDC site’s confusing directions to seniors has according to the Kaiser Foundation undermined the public trust and left seniors and their families aimlessly looking for the safest path.

Geriatric Care Manager’s and seniors services need to create their own COVID-19 Telehealth products to help seniors and their families in their community.

Create that safe path for client’s yourself
