Yeah, and there probably isn't a lot to talk about yet because we don't know the answers yet.
I put it on mute because Murphy was barking. So here's an important thing for all of us. It's we as human beings don't get sick just from COVID or we don't continue to get sick because of COVID. of just because of long COVID. We get sick from other things too, okay? And we shouldn't ignore those things. You know, I certainly was aware of that, you know, working in the cardiovascular unit.

It's like, you know, people didn't show up at the emergency room with, you know, potential stroke or heart attack because they were thinking that, you know, I don't wanna get close to anybody who's got COVID. But we as human beings get sick from other things too. What I think is encouraging, I mean, there's always a silver lining here.

You know, for years and years, when you work in the health department, there's kind of like the infectious disease unit is over here, and the chronic disease unit is over here, right? And, you know, it's like, yeah, you know, they're great colleagues, but you don't talk that much. Okay. This would be perhaps a way that we really do talk because COVID certainly has implications.

If you're diabetic or if you have heart disease or chronic disease, it can complicate that. And so this might be a true opportunity to really link all the different health entities that we deal with together and and use COVID as the excuse. I don't care, but maybe the time has come that we do do that.

Great, great. Well, you know, I thank you both. This is an ongoing subject. I hope that we can put some of the information from the health department on our website so people have access to that information through another venue. I hope too that Kate and Jay, you'll be in contact with us with a simple email. Stan, we got to do another podcast quick because we got some really good information

that I think the public would be interested in. So we reserve that right one way or the other to circle back to you on COVID. With regards to vaccinations, I've been reminding people to get vaccinated. People are spending more time, like Jay had said, indoors now because it's starting to get a little cooler. which increases the possibility of spread of illness.

So now's a good time to get vaccinated, cross-check with your physician on flu, COVID, RSV vaccination, and also pneumococcal vaccinations as well. I do encourage you to check with your physician beforehand. With that, I would like to say thank you to everybody for listening to our show. Our next show will be on the cancer plan from the state of Minnesota.
