The Corona Virus and You! What Now?
EVERY DAY FOR WEEKS
You cannot turn on the television or listen to the radio, or engage in a conversation that doesn’t revolve almost exclusively around the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). It is a very unsettling feeling, and quite awe-inspiring at the same time. When you consider how microscopically miniscule this virus is, but how deadly it can be, it takes your breath away.
There is not doubt that we are living in unprecedented times, and looking weeks, months and maybe even a year or more into the future, it is really hard to conceive what the “new normal” will look like once this is all behind us. And as humbling and crippling as this pandemic is, it has already started to bring out the best in many people. While much of our daily lives have been disrupted or even shut down – dining in a restaurant, having a drink with friends, many jobs have been reduced or even terminated, church services stopped, school and graduations either postponed or cancelled altogether, etc.- we are seeing those people who still can afford to do so, stepping up to the plate. Some are contributing in smaller ways, like ordering takeout meals from their favorite neighborhood restaurants or not buying 6 cases of water and leaving none for someone else, and others who can, are paying the salaries of those who have lost their job or been laid off. Some retailers are setting aside certain hours on specific days of the week, where those who are elderly or most vulnerable can shop in less crowded conditions and get the necessities they need.
During all this chaos, we want you to know we are still here for you. As independent insurance agents, most of us work from our homes day-to-day, so this has had less of an impact on us. You can continue to call me with any questions or concerns you have, and I will be there to answer. Also, if you know someone who is getting close to Medicare age, please let them know that we can walk them through the entire process without having to be present in their home. By telephone, email and virtual methods (like sharing my computer screen with them via a link I can send them by email), I can show them what Medicare is, how it works, and taking their medical and prescription drug needs into consideration, I can help them select the most appropriate and cost-efficient plan for them that will get them to all of their doctors. We can even sign them up for the plan through an online application that they can watch me fill out on their computer screen. We have the means to continue to help anyone who has Medicare Concerns. If you or someone your know, could use our help, have them give us a call.
