Post-coronavirus reopening the country with masks and distancing (Riapertura post-coronavirus del paese con maschere e distanza)

At this time, experts warn against all nonessential travel anywhere in the world in an effort to flatten the curve.

If you must travel, consider the following risks you might face, depending on what type of travel you are planning:
Air travel: Because of how air circulates and is filtered on airplanes, most viruses and other germs do not spread easily on flights. However, there may be a risk of getting COVID-19 if you are seated within 6 feet of someone who has the virus.  Yes, we are allowed to wear a face mask in flight and while waiting in line for security screening.

As Americans, we can still work together to salvage some summer's joys.

But post coronavirus could mean masks and 6 foot beach blanket rules.  Will it be possible to go to the beach in July?  I guess for this summer slightly special tanning, because you can imagine the mask effect on the tan.

Expect to see face mask fashion take off!

Important:  When reusing the mask, remember to wash it with soapy and hot water.

As the country slowly reopens, let's abide to social distancing rules and stay safe.

SHOULD MY GRANDCHILDREN WEAR A MASK?

There’s evidence that many kids are asymptomatic carriers who get mild symptoms of COVID-19 (or none at all) and can unwittingly spread the disease.
Kids’ masks don’t need to be different than adults’ masks. Material-wise, cotton is your best bet, and you can really make do with what you’ve got at home.

While we don’t yet have data on how many children are asymptomatic carriers of the virus, we do know that at least some are, and if that’s your child or grandchild, you don’t want them touching the bucatini.

DURING THIS PANDEMIC, IT’S A GOOD TIME TO TEACH TEENS SOME LIFE SKILLS

Today with all of our emphasis on academics and what it takes to get into college, essential life skills, such as how to do laundry, balance a checking account or cook a meal, have been overlooked. These essential skills, which used to be taught in home economics courses at school and by parents at home, have fallen off the radar.  

Teens these days are always on the go.  There's just never enough time to prepare for the real world.  This lack of adulting is paralyzing a generation. Forced at home by this coronavirus, presents an opportunity for all parents to teach their teens some life skills.  Yes, the time is now. 

Learning to cook can help your child learn to save money by eating at home.

Teens can learn some form of sewing that can get them on the path to eventually making their own complex projects and clothing.

Let's spread a little love any way we can.

Take advantage of this opportunity to teach your teen some valuable money management lessons, and you’ll do yourself and your child a favor.

• Managing credit and debit cards
• Bank Accounts – Teens should know how a bank account works 
• Budgeting - Teens should understand the differences between income, expenses, and savings, and the concept that expenses should not exceed income.
• Savings – Teens must understand the importance of savings.
