Covid-19

TL;DR: Social distancing is important.

This week I’m going to take some time to acknowledge the current state of the world, as states in the US are beginning to shut down. As of this writing, the death rate across the world is 13% (high risk individuals include older folks and those with pre-existing conditions). While the Coronavirus poses a low risk to most of the healthy population, the infection is extremely contagious. Even if you are not at high risk, anyone can be a silent carrier with no symptoms and spread the disease.

Please, for the sake of yourself and others, stay home when you can.

As for your finances – this is a time when the dollar stretches much more than usual for some. If someone in your family or community doesn’t have enough to cover their own basic needs for a couple weeks, consider helping out where you can.

Stay safe,
