UB expert discusses where we are with COVID

The disturbing news: COVID-19 is now the No. 3 cause of death in the nation. It falls behind heart disease and cancer, but ahead of accidents, injuries, lung disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Deaths from COVID-19 are fourth on the list of U.S. death tolls from major events, behind the 1918 influenza pandemic, the Civil War, and World War II.

In an article posted on the University at Buffalo's Clinical and Translational Science Institute website, Institute Director Dr. Timothy Murphy discusses the facts about COVID-19 as we enter our seventh month of the pandemic. While some of the news is somber, Murphy notes that the interventions put in place to combat COVID-19 have made a tangible impact. He also states that there is much we know now about transmission and how to prevent transmission that we did not know last spring.

He stresses that social distancing works, wearing masks is critical, and that testing is critical. Murphy concludes:
We do know is that we are in a much better position to respond than we were in March, when cases were first identified in Western New York. We have better testing and we have learned how the virus is transmitted. And based on what we have accomplished as a community to keep transmission at a low level thus far, we know how to prevent transmission: avoid large gatherings, practice social distancing, wear masks, and wash our hands frequently. These practices will be especially important in Western New York as cold weather limits our time outdoors where the risk of transmission is less than occurs indoors.

Beware!

Beware!

You get a robocall saying you paid too much on a utility bill. To make up for this mistake, they say, you’ll get a cash refund and a discount on your future bills. All you have to do is press a number to get your money and discount. You say to yourself: “What luck!” You might think this strange surprise will help you save some much-needed money.

Sorry but…not so fast. This is probably just another utility scam — or, at best, a marketing trick — to get your money.

Bullying in Assisted Living and Retirement Communities

Yes, this does happen! Sad, but true!

Bullying in nursing homes, senior centers and housing complexes for the elderly has increased. Responsible retirement communities have introduced anti-bullying programs, training and policies aimed at curbing spates of bullying, an issue once thought the exclusive domain of the young.

SNAP Bills
Two bills have been introduced this Congress that would strengthen SNAP. H.R. 1368, introduced by Congresswoman Alma Adams (D-NC), would increase benefits for all SNAP participants. H.R. 2809, introduced by Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA), would lift SNAP’s arbitrary three-month time limit and ensure that all people have access to nutrition assistance and stay healthy while seeking full-time work. Urge your Representative to cosponsor the bills if they have not already done so. Visit FRAC’s SNAP Legislative Action Center page for more information.

Buffalo Jewish Federation

Passover begins at sundown on Friday, April 19 and ends Saturday evening, April 27. In preparation for the holiday, we're sharing some basic Passover Prep info for you - taken from MyJewishLearning.com.
*
Part 1: What is Passover?????
*
*
Passover is a festival of freedom. It commemorates the Israelites’ Exodus from Egypt, and their transition from slavery to freedom. The main ritual of Passover is the Seder, which occurs on the first two night (in Israel just the first night) of the holiday — a festive meal that involves the re-telling of the Exodus through stories and song and the consumption of ritual foods, including matzah and maror (bitter herbs). The seder’s rituals and other readings are outlined in the Haggadah — today, many different versions of this Passover guide are available in print and online, and you can also create your own.

Stay tuned for Part 2: What do we do on Passover? and Part 3: What do we eat on Passover?
