The pandemic shut us down completely March 15 to May 15, 2021.
We reorganized, and partially reopened June 1, per Gov.Scott’s guidelines.
My brother in Chicago was in an ICU for two weeks with Covid19, and
is still on oxygen after two weeks at home.
My nephew spent the month of April as a doctor on an ICU in Arizona, with mostly Covid19 patients.
We take it seriously, and hope you will if you come visit the Tempest for books or DVD rentals or anything else. If you are not vaccinated, we ask that you wear a face mask. Every action to slow the pandemic brings us treatment improved, lives saved, testing increased and improved, vaccines built, and hope for a better world. Around the world and in the US, Covid19 is still killing people, lots of people.
