In light of the estimated spread of the Corona virus being so much higher than the actual reported tested and confirmed cases & the unease its causing in a lot of people, I have decided on a safety plan at Learn The Beat. So you know:
My wife has a lowered immune system, so we can't afford to not be over cautious with our reaction to this. The CDC just recently confirmed that they believe there may be asymptomatic (means that a person shows no outward sign of & may not know themselves that they are ill.), or mildly symptomatic carriers of this illness spreading Corona in the population. Viruses spread exponentially & number of infections can rise approximately 2x every 3 days. It only takes one infected person to "just have this one errand, or fun thing to go do." To spread a disease to every place they travel to. It only takes one infected item you hand to another person (like a dollar bill) that's not wiped down with bleach to get viral particles on you. Just because a virus barely affects you, doesn't mean you can't literally kill people you so non chalantly spread it to.
My plan:
The store is closed, until this threat passes & I will not be doing in person lessons. I encourage you to download the app Zoom, so we can continue your music lessons via online video chats. Online lessons are still very personal & constructive. If you are not computer, or phone savvy, don't worry. I can walk you through the process to set Zoom up. Its reeeeally easy.
Stay safe, take this seriously, its better to be wrong than dead, its better to seem silly, or ridiculous, than to get sick.
