COVID Quarantine Day 29

Good morning and welcome to chemistry! Welcome back from Spring Break.

I sent out a “Remind” for 3rd hour to help Mr. Patterson with a Dearborn School District survey. They want to know who has internet access and a device to access the internet. Please respond with your situation.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a case of science meets the real world. It’s mostly biology, but I’m sure many of you have heard about the hydroxychloroquine the president and others have been touting as a miracle cure. We have a saying in science: “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” That doesn’t mean there aren’t amazing, useful ideas and people in our lives. But, it’s good to be at least a little skeptical. That is a hallmark of science…the skepticism, the need for proof.

Your “welcome back” assignment today is to send me a paragraph or so (in Remind) of how the coronavirus has affected you directly. I know you all have to stay home and stay safe. But, have you seen any direct evidence of the virus? Friends, family members? Mild symptoms, hospitalizations? Don’t be too graphic, but it might be good to share some personal stories to give us a better feel of why we are all supposed to be isolated. Thanks!

Stay healthy and Stay Breezy!

T. Brown
