South Florida needs to stay informed. We need to get the latest most valid information on guidelines for prevention by the media and then plan accordingly. Addressing the unknown is very difficult. In the face of an epidemic, we are uncertain how to respond. Let’s all take a deep breath and long exhale.

When we’re feeling stuck or when we’re faced with an unparalleled challenge, it’s often helpful to hear or read a few words of encouragement.  This is not to be encouraging only to ourselves, but to inspire us to be an encouraging force for…
