covid19

So many of our favorite restaurants have been hit with obstacles they never dreamed of in the past 18 months. The early days of the coronavirus forced temporary closures of establishments as we were told to lockdown and shelter in place.

It's shocking to me, as I learn that there are so many people still not vaccinated. Politics aside, it doesn’t make any sense to me. It also worries me that this new surge of infections could get out of control and lead to a dangerous fall and winter.

We are not out of the woods yet, when it comes to this 100-year pandemic. Covid19 has threatened our lives now for far too long.

I can’t imagine what it feels like to not have enough money to pay the rent or the mortgage. Making that decision to either put food on the table for your family or purchase your medication. Financial hardships create so much anxiety, sometimes the results from your choices come with a big cost to you and your family, even though you feel at the time they are correct. No one should ever be forced into that position.

Here we go again. We are not out of the woods yet when it comes to this Covid19 virus. Even if you have been vaccinated the new variants emerging are causing concern.

After the frequent hand washing, social distancing, staying at home and the mask mandate ramping up last summer to prevent the spread of Covid19, I began to think about how these practices would help prevent other ailments. Typically, each fall we prepare for the common cold and the flu. Most Americans make the decision, each year to get or not get the annual flu shot. Sometimes you get it, other times you don’t depend on whether you hear a story that someone got the flu from the shot itself.

Every month 105.7 The Hawk, along with our friends at Sonny’s Recycling in Waretown, highlights one of our local Jersey Shore neighbors who goes above and beyond to serve our communities. We crown them to be Hawk Heroes.

Did you visit one of these New Jersey megasites to receive your shots? As the six locations are getting ready to close, perhaps you’ll join me and offer a BIG “Thank you”.
