So let's talk Coronavirus.

Coronoviruses are a family of viruses that typically cause mild colds. We see them year round, although like all cold/cough viruses, more in the winter.

COVID-19 is a novel strain of Coronavirus. That means it's something our immune systems have never seen before. Like other coronaviruses, COVID-19 will cause cold/cough symptoms, likely with a mild fever. There is no treatment besides symptomatic care -- Tylenol and Motrin for adults and children (Motrin for 6 months and older), honey for coughs in kids older than 1 year, cool-mist humidifiers and suctioning for babies. Stay hydrated and comfortable. Like other viruses, there is a greater concern for the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.

The spread of COVID-19 in other countries has been exacerbated by people flooding the Emergency Rooms and medical offices. Don't do that. If you or your child have mild cold symptoms, STAY HOME! We do not even need to see you in our office. Follow school guidelines for returning and follow these rules for your workplace as adults as well—no fever for 24 hours, no disruptive coughing, feeling well enough to participate in daily activities.

**We do NOT have a test for COVID-19 in our office. So unless symptoms are severe, we urge you to not call for an appointment either.**

Your child SHOULD be seen by their pediatrician for:
-- any fever (>100.4F) in a baby under 60 days
-- respiratory distress, including a barking cough, increased work of breathing, or cough that interferes with sleep or play
-- dehydration
-- sore throat in the absence of cold symptoms
-- ear pain for more than 2 days in kids older than 2y, or in conjunction with fever in kids younger than 2y
- - fever above 100.4 for more than 5 days

The chances are that COVID-19 is already widespread. We did not start testing in this country until last week, and have only tested 500 or so folks so far. The media is causing more fear than is necessary. Flu is still the major cause of illness at this time, especially in the pediatric population.

Stay calm.
Wash your hands.
Cover your cough.
Wash your hands.
Get a flu shot.
Wash your hands.
Call us for any concerns.

Strength training is vital in avoiding injuries and staying independent as you age Weight-bearing and resistance-training exercises help maintain and even develop muscle mass, which can otherwise deteriorate.
