The Pandemic Is Not Over

Posted by

We are all weary of the restrictions that the Covid-19 pandemic has forced on us.  Think how wonderful it would be to go to a movie theater or a baseball game or even the neighborhood bar or restaurant. It is natural to get restless and long for what we are missing. But, recent developments strongly argue against giving up social distancing too soon. 

Record Rates of New Infections

In Arizona, the rates of Covid-19 infections are going up dramatically. Just in the past week, four days set new records. Fourteen other states, plus Puerto Rico are all seeing surges in the rates of people getting sick and people dying.  Remember that we are always about two weeks behind when it comes to learning of new cases. What we are seeing now could be the result of people going out in public over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Given that hundreds of thousands of Americans joined protests marches over this past weekend, gathering in close quarters and chanting, we could see an explosion of new cases by the end of June.

Up Is Not Down

The Virus Has No Exit Strategy

I’m Still Standing. . .

So, even though you are ready for this to be over, it is not over. Covid-19 has no grand strategy, no exit plan. It will just keep spreading and killing until there is a vaccine or effective treatment.

Stay Home, Stay Safe

For now, stay at home to the maximum extent you can. You owe it to yourself and to all your fellow citizens, some of whom are at high risk of dying.

We’ll Meet Again

One day, this will be over. We will meet as neighbors and friends soon.  Until that day, stay home and wear a mask if you must go out.

About The Author

Since 1992, I have been helping the people of Southern Arizona get the benefits they are due. Before devoting all my efforts to assisting people with Social Security disability claims, I also handled such complex lawsuits as medical malpractice and products liability. I brought to my Social Security cases all the skills and attention to detail that I developed in the courtroom. I approach each Social Security disability case as if it were a million-dollar lawsuit. For the people trying to get Social Security benefits, their claim is every bit as important. Because I have personally handled so many Social Security cases, I have refined the skills I need to win your case for you. I have helped people win cases for every kind of ailment from arthritis to valley fever. At present, I am focused on helping those persons with neurological and orthopedic disorders. Because claims for people over age fifty bring additional complications, I particularly seek out those cases to work on. I regularly write about back and spine conditions on my blog. I actively seek out the latest information about orthopedic and neurological disorders to ensure I can represent my clients as effectively as possible. Because of my current focus, I regret that I am not able to take any cases for mental disorders. If you are over age fifty and suffer from any orthopedic or neurological disorder, please contact me at once.
