Amid the distress of high pollen counts,bad air quality and the highest temperatures experienced by homo sapiens or any living creatures plant or animal,we the people are being treated to ideological political discourse disputing the right to exist.My primary concern is for the elderly among whose ranks I exist.
A group of distinguished experts recently declared the COVID-19 and variants epidemic ended and declared masking and social distancing no longer necessary.But Bird flu,new COVID-19 variants and Ebola are still around and being heard from in the middle East,India , Africa and China.In light of this I recommend that the elderly continue masking and social distancing.Considering the explosion of gun violence across the country I would suggest staying away from mass events
Social interaction with friends and family are still important and such skills as driving should still be exercised safely.(No night driving and staying in the right and middle lanes by insurance and financial advisory should be discussed and serviced with trusted heirs included
Giving up driving, golf.tennis etc. can be depressing so medical advisory services have to be associated.
