Your Health and Safety Is Our Main Priority

Our Commitment to Social Distancing

Effective Monday 3/16, our office are working on a skeleton crew. Because of this, all appointments will be phone consults until further notice. This is the first in multiple steps our team is taking to ensure that this virus is not unnecessarily spread to others. We are also offering direct shipping to our customers of any purchased supplements, as well as phone consultations for continued care. To re-order any of your supplements, please feel free to visit our online store by clicking here . If you cannot find a supplement or product you need refilled, reply to this email and we will get back to you within 2 business days with a solution.

Where Are We Now?

So things are quite different from last week and our last email. Last week we said that the majority of you wouldn't get it — now it's very possible that the majority of you will. Part of this is we have not taken social distancing and isolation seriously enough. We have thought that only people who have symptoms are contagious — they are now seeing that asymptomatic people can infect people from 3-14 days BEFORE they show symptoms. To further iterate how imperative social distancing is we would like to highlight Italy's curve. They were slow to take the recommendations, as we have been, and they have yet to reach their peak. In the U.S., with a 50% infection rate (and Germany estimates 70% for them), the estimated death rate at .5% (that's POINT five and Italy's fatality rate is 7% right now) is 800,000 to 2 million.

WE CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH — you must stay home. Wash your hands, wipe down your door handles, faucets, steering wheels, etc. — every surface possible. AND STAY HOME. Get groceries delivered to the door. Cancel EVERYTHING except ER visits. Even visiting the doctor opens you up to infection (and vice versa). UNLESS YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING, you need to stay home.

Over the upcoming weeks, please expect to receive frequent emails from our team regarding what you can do to prepare your immune system for the virus. We will also be sending out recommendations on what can be done to help treat COVID-19’s symptoms. You will be able to find all of our product offerings available online at https://merrittwellness.standardprocess.com/Products.
