For Cain, who is 65 with underlying health conditions, the threat of coronavirus is personal. He also worries about his 88-year-old mother in assisted living, who was a nurse during the polio outbreak of the 1950s. During the epidemic of the disease that causes paralysis, as now, the only way to prevent the spread before a vaccine was developed was to self-quarantine.
Cain became emotional talking about his mom, who was on the front lines of caring for patients in iron lungs . "That was a time that Americans really, really pulled together, and yes, people were scared but they did listen to public health and they did isolate themselves because it was the only thing they could do," Cain said.
"I just only hope, she having risked her life for us, we don't kill her. As Americans we have to have a real gut check right now. We are a strong country. We are a great people, but we have to really sacrifice now for one another."That said, Al-Agba urges parents to be kind to themselves as they work to protect their children and others.Cain and Al-Agba offered more guidance for daily living as coronavirus mitigation measures continue.
The CDC has not received any reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19."Further studies are needed to understand if and how different animals could be affected by COVID-19," the CDC states.Al-Agba: Not unless you have no other option. "The whole family should not be in the grocery store right now."Cain: His office is doing almost 100% virtual visits. If your child is showing flu-like symptoms, call your doctor.
