FROM FR. DAVID + 
With respect to our current growing concerns regarding the Covid-19 corona virus, time for calm and clear understanding for what the future holds is important to all of us. None of the concerns regarding viruses and communicable diseases should be taken lightly, and quite specifically should not be taken in fear either. This is time to care for ourselves and each other. It is time to follow common sense hygiene habits to promote appropriate prevention. Please check on your family, friends and neighbors especially those who are elderly and with known pre-conditions that will make them potentially more susceptible to contracting any sickness.
Not panicking, but being informed and prepared is essential to your physical, emotional and psychological health. Read the professional information from the CDC, and reliable medical agencies. Don't fall victim to scams with anyone trying to sell you a remedy especially anyone calling on the phone to give you advice, or who comes to your door pedaling unsolicited information. As you may be aware the stores are out of some supplies like hand sanitizer and decontamination wipes. I commend to you a way to make your own hand sanitizer recommended by the CDC Go to You Tube and type in the search line: "diy hand sanitizer", or "how to make hand sanitizer". Most stores still have rubbing alcohol, aloe vera and essential oils to make your own supply.
Here is the formula:
- 2/3 cup of 90 proof rubbing alcohol,
- 1/3 cup of aloe vera (or glycerin) and
- several drops of your favorite essential oil.
- Using a whisk, stir it all together and pour into a travel size squirt bottle, or empty hand sanitizer bottle
