Send us a Text Message.

We are experiencing a global phenomenon right now, and it is impacting the health and wellbeing of thousands of individuals worldwide. It is also affecting the economy because of the uncertainty around global markets.

There isn't a lot the average person can do about any of it except to stay informed and do what he or she can to protect themselves and their loved ones.

In this episode of "Teachers in Transition," Dr. Kitty Boitnott urges her listeners to pay attention to the medical experts and follow their advice based on facts and scientific evidence. Filter out the messages from news pundits and government officials who have a reason to either exaggerate or downplay the effects as they exist right now.

Do what you can to protect yourself by following some of the recommendations personally. For my part, for the time being, I will curtail travel and wash my hands more often. I will fist bump friends and colleagues instead of shaking hands. And I will do what I can to protect others from my germs by coughing or sneezing into the crook of my arm instead of my hand.
