COVID is still among us, and the virus will not go away within the next six to twelvemonths. Although, we don't know that for sure. In the meantime, we must continue to practice social distancing and wearing a mask, or some other type of mouth and nose covering to protect your exposure from respiratory involvement. As time progresses, scientists are finding that there are many other ways of getting exposed to this virus. Some other ways include possible exposure through your eyes, and the direct contact from your hands when you touch your face. If you touch your face and your hands are dirty or have been physically exposed to the virus, and you place them on your face without facial covering, you are liable to breathe in the virus.
Nonetheless, protecting yourself from the virus is the best treatment, rather than treating the virus that has the potential to resist any efforts to defeat it. But what about our health care professionals? You know, those people who are in direct contact. Those people who are trying to save the lives of others. And, those who have been exposed and suffering from the disease. Those health care providers need to maintain their professional credentials to keep working to save lives.
Some of those credentials that are required are the American Heart Association's (AHA),Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and other credentials that some agencies need copies on file. The AHA made a recommendation to extend the expiration of some of those cards of up to 120 days. However, that time may have been reached. Yet, COVID19 is upsurging in many states, and many companies have been forced to shutdown once again. Those companies may include educational facilities that disburse those credentials. However, there are still many companies providing the provisions to teach the class and hand out the cards. The classes are taught concerning the policy and procedure of local authorities. The classes are also taught about the prevention of the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Those health care workers who are vital to not only the community, but the world can find those educational locations in every state, but it is recommended to get those renewal classes early. Many locations offer classes every day of the week, including weekends (Saturday and Sunday) to accommodate these health care workers. Once these health care workers received their renewal cards, they are back to work in the middle of a very deadly disease. Many people don't understand that these health care workers are risking their health, and their families, health to save the lives of people they don't even know.
All around the world on Facebook, Twitter, and any online social media communication, there is evidence of health care workers suffering severe agony and difficulty breathing. Some lose their lives. After all, they contracted COVID19 because they are simply trying to help others. The people of the world must take the recommendations of the health care professionals and state leaders to social distance themselves with six feet between each other and wear a mask when you're outside. Even if you come in contact with someone you don't know when they knock on your door, do not open it unless they have a mask on or find some way of communicating with them through a closed door.
Opening the door for someone that you don't know is the same as allowing a stranger to invade your home. Compare that to the coronavirus, and you will find no difference. Either way, your life is in danger. Therefore, caution should always be taken when you speak to other people you don't know, go to a restaurant, and eating outside, maybe just as dangerous as eating inside. When eating outside, the wind blows. People are talking who maybe six feet away but still bring the virus directly towards your face which may enter your respiratory system.
Help protect yourself and our health care workers around the world. The difference is taking appropriate action to prevent the spread of COVID-19. If we do not do that, the human race, as we know, it may be placed in a position of extinction, and that is something that we need to avoid.
