Flu Shot, Or Not?!

Q: Will getting a flu shot protect me from Covid-19?

A: The short answer is no; it will not prevent coronavirus. But the question is more complex. By getting a flu shot and helping to prevent yourself from catching the flu, you help lessen the load of an already overburdened healthcare system. Additionally, those who get a flu shot are helping to eliminate symptoms that might be suspected as COVID-19 and confusing folks into thinking they need to be off work, to have to stay away from their loved ones for extended periods of time, etc.  Getting your annual flu shot can keep yourself and everyone around you healthier.

Smoke Gets In My Eyes

Q: With all this smoke in the air, what can I do to in my home to help me and my family breath better? We try to stay inside as much as possible, but even that seems smokie.

A: There are several things you can do besides keeping your windows and doors closed. If you have a 20- inch box fan, purchase a 20- inch furnace filter and strap or bungee it to the box fan. This will help filter the air within your home. Also change the filter in your AC system more often.
