Need another reason to wear a face mask? Your own protection

  Need another reason to wear a face mask? Your own protection on  November 3, 2020  in  Community Health ,  Coronavirus ,  Infection Control ,  Infectious Disease  by  UVM Medical Center By Wouter Rietsema, MD, vice president, population health and information services, UVM Health Network – Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital. At this point in the pandemic, we’ve learned that wearing a mask is the right thing to do because it protects the people around us. When we talk, cough, sneeze or exhale, facial coverings decrease the amount of infectious droplets that enter the air from our mouths and noses. I wear a mask to protect you. You wear a mask to protect me. Now, there is  growing evidence  that masks also provide protection for the wearer.

Face masks

Good morning Cambridge families, this week we talked about playing our part to stop the spread of germs by social distancing. Another practice just as important in stopping germs is wearing a face mask. Wearing a mask not only protects the person wearing it but more importantly, it protects those people that need extra protection like infants, the elderly and people that have chronic diseases.

Wearing a face mask is another way to play our part in protecting ourselves and others.

Good morning Cambridge Families! I thought we could end our second successful week as awesome wildcat online learners with a healthy muffin recipe. You know how important it is to provide fuel to our bodies? Healthy food gives us fuel that lasts all day. It makes us feel good too! So in celebration of your superhero efforts this week, I am sharing this muffin recipe.  Hopefully your powers of learning, observation and critical thinking will get stronger with each bite! These muffins were designed for superheroes like you. They're packed full of veggies, and are sweetened with maple syrup instead of refined sugar. In addition, almond flour and whole-grain oats replace nutrient-stripped white flour. These are Shalane’s go-to muffins—nourishing and sweetly satisfying for an easy grab-n-run breakfast. And don’t fear the butter. Fueling up with healthy fats is a great way to start your day. Fat helps transport important vitamins throughout your hardworking body and will help ...
