Farmworkers Are Among Those at Highest Risk for COVID-19, Studies Show

Studies show agricultural workers are among those at highest risk of contracting COVID-19. In the fields, harvest crews work side-by-side cutting rows of vegetables, making it impossible to keep six feet apart. Housing is scarce and expensive, so multiple families often crowd into one small home.

Hello All, I graduated in 2018, and I would like to help you all prepare for your licensing exam. I would like you all to come study with me through my you-tube channel. I literally just made it. Long story short, I needed a reason to get out of a dark place I was in after a failed attempt. I feel like creating this channel will give me that excitement I once had when I studied. This will not only prepare you all, but this will allow me to have a role change and now try and teach others material that I have been studying. The link will be below. Let's work together to make a difference.
Two weeks left to register for this workshop! You will receive 2 ethics CEUs This isn't your typical ethics workshop.
