Good morning my brave friends

In case you can’t access the article: -Clinicians need to prepare for coinfection of Covid and influenza or other respiratory viruses -Overlapping symptoms depend on the strain of influenza: Comparison of the symptom spectrum between COVID-19 and flu differed with respect to influenza type. More patients with COVID-19 reported fever, cough, diarrhea and vomiting, and myalgia than patients hospitalized with influenza A. But rates of fever, cough, diarrhea or vomiting, headach...e, or chest pain didn't differ significantly in patients with COVID-19 and those with influenza B. -Thus, Differentiating the two infections, which is difficult if not impossible based on symptoms alone, may have prognostic implications, depending on the age of the child. Stay safe, proactive with hygiene and wear a mask. -Dr. J

UPDATE: thank you everyone for your shares and support. Thanks to the keen eyes and big hearts of people, the camper has been identified and recovered. Its slig...htly damaged, but the saddest part is that all of the personal, sentimental items were gone. We will work on putting together a detailed list of items to look out for at garage sales, bc apparently that’s a thing. Thank you everyone from the bottom of my This trailer belongs to one of the sweetest ladies you will ever meet. Last night it was stolen from her driveway in the 3 Trails area of Independence. She was getting ready to go on a fishing trip to her and her husbands spot for the first time since he passed. It had his fishing gear, clothes they had bought together on their trips and quilts she had made for him with materials they picked out together; she said, it’s like losing him all over again. Please keep an eye out. All she wants are those belongings. Create a fake FB acct and DM me, drop them back in her yard in the middle of the night or block your number and call me. Please help make this right. Thank you.

From time to time human civilizations have been faced new diseases that spread far and wide. These pandemic outbreaks last, on average, about 18 months. If we can all come to terms with the fact that for the next year we are likely to experience obstacles, inconveniences, discomforts and setbacks but at the end of that time, more of our neighbors and loved ones will be around as we celebrate getting back to a real normalcy; one of triumph and overcoming as a community. This i...s my plea to my beloved hometown of Independence, MO. We can do this. Sincerely, Dr. Jason Vollmecke D.C., CME

You may have heard or read different posts from various health professionals, including chiropractors, regarding Covid 19 and the use of masks. It is important that they, and you, consider the sources. I want to be very clear, there have been NONE, ZERO, NADA statements from any medical professional organizations or publications, including chiropractic, minimizing or discouraging the use of masks. Please remember that the next time you come across such statements. Masks are... not perfect, but it’s becoming evident that they may be all that we’ve got coming. Please, for the safety of you and those around you, wear a mask when outside of your home. https://www.ama-assn.org//ama-aha-ana-open-letter-mask-use https://www.wfc.org///Coronavirus_statement_2020_06_15.pdf
