Mariposa Public Health shares some tips in these difficult times: “For many people, the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 is the hardest to handle. There are so many things out of our control, including the duration of the pandemic, the behavior of other people and what will happen in our community and this can be emotionally affected. When things feel overwhelming, remember that there are things we can control to protect ourselves and our loved ones from COVID-19. ”Learn more at CDC.gov here. Also, share“ Be kind online. Social media can bring people together, but without seeing the other side’s face it can be difficult to keep goodness and humanity at the forefront of our minds. As you comment and interact with other people on social media, it’s important to remember that there is a human being on the other side. It can be helpful to take a moment and think about what you are saying. Tones and sarcasm can’t always be recognized and you can hurt someone without even knowing it. We don’t know what the other person is going through right now. ” They add, “It’s never a bad idea to throw kindness like a confetti.” Mariposa Public Health also says, “Do you ever see information presented and want to know more? Our team works to help you answer some of the questions you might have and learn how to identify misinformation or information taken out of context. “

As an example, take note of the things to keep in mind if someone asks, “But what about Israel’s numbers?”

• Ending a global pandemic requires global and community efforts. We live in an interconnected world, and if one area is fighting outbreaks, the risk of more dangerous variants affects us all.
• Observing the total population versus the eligible population, while 78% of [Israel’s] the eligible population, which represents only 58% of its total population, has been vaccinated.
• Variants can affect efficacy. Vaccines are still effective in preventing infection with the Delta variant, but we know that the more a virus is allowed to spread uncontrollably, the greater the risk that more dangerous variants will appear.
• Vaccines work to prevent infections, they also work to prevent serious illness, hospitalization or death. Health
• Ministry data for Israel showed that the rate of serious illness in those 60 years and over was nine times (!) Higher in unvaccinated people. In the under-60s, it was more than twice as high.
• Of those hospitalized in Israel for COVID-19, the majority of fully vaccinated cases were in people 60 years of age or older with comorbidities. In contrast, younger age groups that were relatively healthy before infection were not vaccinated and their condition deteriorated rapidly.

Public Health concludes “We have no perfect tool to stop COVID-19. Vaccines are highly effective, but we must also focus on other preventative measures, as well as give immunity to more of the world’s population to reduce the rate of spread. There is a LOT of information out there and we know it can be overwhelming to keep everything in mind.
