As many leaders as possible (that is every one of us) must divert more time to stop this disease madness. Reach out to any area among friends, family, neighbors, the displaced and encourage the steps that you believe are appropriate to combat COVID.
On the brighter side, the event today at the Wilder Library branch with Wayne State’s mobile unit received at least 70 people by 3 pm who wanted testing, vaccinations or booster shots. This was the result of aggressive promotion through various social media venues by the Library’s media department, and a number of you who forward the message below yesterday, plus some hours of street promotion today.
Below is the Wayne Health/ Detroit Public Library schedule of delivery of health service across the City. Those services include COVID testing, vaccination and booster shots, as well as screenings for blood pressure, kidney functions, diabetes and cholesterol.
The Mobile Health Unity will be offering free COVID-19 testing (for those 3+ years old) and COVID-19 vaccinations (for those 12+ years old). Those who stop by can receive free health screenings for diabetes, cholesterol, kidney function and blood pressure. Information will also be available to connect people with community resources.

The odds of a COVID carrier in supermarkets, churches, classrooms and sporting events make it necessary to act. There are no perfect solutions, but to not act is surely the most dangerous and deadly way to go.
