CDC Updates Respiratory Virus Recommendations
The recommendations suggest returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall, and if a fever was present, it has been gone without use of a fever-reducing medication.
Once people resume normal activities, they are encouraged to take additional prevention strategies for the next 5 days to curb disease spread, such as taking more steps for cleaner air, enhancing hygiene practices, wearing a well-fitting mask, keeping a distance from others, and/or getting tested for respiratory viruses. Enhanced precautions are especially important to protect those most at risk for severe illness, including those over 65 and people with weakened immune systems. CDC’s updated guidance reflects how the circumstancesaround COVID-19 in particular have changed. While it remains a threat, today it is far less likely to cause severe illness because of widespread immunity and improved tools to prevent and treat the disease. Importantly, states and countries that have already adjusted recommended isolation times have not seen increased hospitalizations or deaths related to COVID-19.

LEARN YOUR MAILMAN’S NAME |
In 1937 the granddaddy of all people-skills books was published. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling more than fifteen million copies. That book was How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie. What made the book so valuable was Carnegie’s understanding of human nature. I love his simple words of wisdom. Something that I learned early from Carnegie was this: remember and use a person’s name. “We should be aware of the magiccontained in a name . . . The name sets the individual apart; it makes him or her unique among all others. The information we are imparting or the request we are making takes on a special importance when we approach the situation with the name of the individual. From the waitress to the senior executive, the name will work magic as we deal with others.”
What was true in 1937 is even more applicable in our fast-paced world. These days an account number or a title too often replaces a person’s name. Remembering names can help enhance your personal image, improve your style, and most importantly, increase your impact on others.
