Some of this month's reading suggestions obviously will relate to the Covid-19 crisis. Many of you have experienced the virus either yourself, relatives or friends. A few work-related colleagues have been infected with the virus and one's elderly father succumbed to complications arising from it. Being considered an "essential worker", I was and will continue to be very safety oriented. Consuming a plant-based diet and keeping my immune system as strong as possible is #1. Here in Florida, the State has lifted "stay at home" restrictions, while trying to inform residents to be safe. Encouraging CDC recommendations on wearing face masks, keeping 6' social distancing, etc. Unfortunately, most are not doing that. Retail/Grocery workers are definitely abiding by these rules, but only a small amount of residents are. It's all or nothing! I will be wearing a face covering and continuing safe clean practices indefinitely! Please be safe and do what we can to stop the spread, if not for yourself, for those who have compromised health issues.
So let's get started:
