New COVID-19 Strain - 4 Things You Should Know to Stay Safe

New COVID-19 Strain - 4 Things You Should Know to Stay Safe

A new COVID-19 strain has been reported through news and social media, first detected in September in southeast England. It is causing concern because of its higher contagious rate. We understand that a new strain causes fear, leading us to believe that we are dealing with the Pandemic disease more so than ever. 

The first and most important thing you need to know is that variations or mutations of viruses, such as the COVID-19 virus, can be new and unexpected, but it is also normal to a certain point. The virus that was first detected in Wuhan, China, last year is definitely not the same one we are dealing with today in most parts of the world.

Viruses variate over time, and it’s the reason we let you know that you can be safe during this new COVID-19 strain. Here are some of the most common questions that have emerged as the new COVID-19 strain was reported:

Is the new strain more contagious than the previous COVID-19 virus?

The new COVID-19 strain is causing concern because it has quickly replaced previous versions of the virus. However, there is no clear and conclusive evidence that the new Strain of the COVID-19 Virus is more infectious than the previous one. Studies have not been concluded, and information is not completely certain. 

As mentioned earlier, viruses variate, which might be the case with the COVID-19 Virus. In any case, it is good to take precautions and measures to protect people against the virus more than ever. Bio-One offers COVID-19 industry-leading COVID-19 decontamination and disinfection.

Where did this new COVID-19 strain appear?

As we’ve mentioned, variations of viruses occur, and in this specific case, it was first detected in southeast England in September 2020. South Africa also detected a virus variation, which is not the same as this new strain that took over. Other countries that first encountered the New Strain were Denmark, the Netherlands, and other European nations. As of December, the new COVID-19 strain was reported to be the most common version of the virus, reaching approximately 60% of the new cases. 

Does this variation make the COVID-19 virus more deadly?

No. Although it is under strict monitoring, there is no evidence that the new COVID-19 strain is more deadly than the previous one. Now, being reported that the New Strain is likely to be more infectious, you need to take care of yourself and your family more than ever. Bio-One is here to help you with COVID-19 Decontamination!

Will the vaccine be effective against the new COVID-19 strain?

Thankfully, so far, yes. All of the leading vaccines are meant to develop an immune response against the existing spike of the virus. The New Strain can be interpreted as a warning sign, and, for the specific case of the COVID-19 Virus, it can variate to the point of escaping or surpassing vaccines.

Now, it is something expected, and common viruses, like the flu, are usually updated periodically. Furthermore, it’s important to mention that these leading vaccines can be easily tweaked if necessary. 

Bio-One is here for you.

We understand that the new COVID-19 strain triggers alarms and makes us anxious about the coming months. However, it’s important to remain calm and keep trusting in the efforts of the medical forces to produce the most effective vaccines against this virus.

There is a lot that Bio-One can do to keep you and your family safe. We have listed four important steps recommended to keep you and your family safe throughout this pandemic. If you find yourself in need of COVID-19 disinfection, our specialists can help.

COVID-19 Safety: 4 Steps To Keep You And Your Family Safe - Bio-One of Oceanside.

There is no doubt that this has been a challenging year, not only because of the changes we are facing as a Nation but also because of how we’ve had to cope with the Coronavirus Pandemic Disease and its implications globally. Our strength as humans, as a collective society, has truly been put to the test and, having made it thus far… it’s worth celebrating and being grateful for!

If there’s one thing that the COVID-19 Pandemic has shown us, it is that sometimes we just don’t have control over what happens around us. It has never been more important to be preventive and care for ourselves and our loved ones. 

While California was one of the first states that take action to protect its citizens, it has been undeniably affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. What does this mean to us, and what can we do to keep calm during these uncertain times? Well, when we find ourselves facing something unknown, the best we can do is educate ourselves! Take some time to understand what’s happening around us and, hopefully, take some precautions. 

COVID-19 Safety - Step One: Know The Symptoms

If you are experiencing one or various of the following symptoms, you have to seek professional help immediately:

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • Loss of taste or smell
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea

COVID-19 Safety - Step Two: Get Tested

What can you do to protect yourself and your loved ones? Get tested. If you think you might have been exposed or have had contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, you must seek professional medical assistance.

Testing is very important because it will allow you to take action on whatever is necessary to protect yourself and your loved ones! Bio-One is here to clean and disinfect your house or business if you have been close to someone who might be infected by COVID-19.

COVID-19 Safety - Step Three - If Infected, Isolate

If you have unfortunately tested positive for COVID-19, there’s one thing you must do to ensure your and your loved ones’ health: isolation. For many people, this might be a difficult step toward recovery, and not everyone has the same capacity to cope with a process like this. We understand the challenge that isolation implies, but we can not address the importance of this step to ensure safety for yourself and the people you care about. It’s a bigger responsibility calling for our consciousness about the people surrounding us! 

COVID-19 Safety - Step Four - Disinfect Your Home or Business with Bio-One

Schedule and Attend your Regular Health Screening!
Armand and Michele Amoranto - Owners of Bio-One of Oceanside.

A regular health screening? What might have been? Just the other day, while I was picking up some items from Albertson’s with my kids, I noticed the latest People’s magazine on the rack. There, front and center, was the story Kelly Preston Dies of Breast Cancer at 57: 'She Was a Bright, Beautiful and Loving Soul.'  I turned to my daughter Alyssa and said, “you know that could have been mom’s story.”  You see, almost five years ago, Michele was diagnosed with breast cancer.  It started with her feeling something as early as our July trip to Cabo San Lucas that year, and by the time biopsy was done in November (5 months), she was in stage 2/3 cancer. With the help of Dr. Italiano, Dr. Toosie, Dr. Frakes, and Dr. Gupta, she has now been in remission for three years.   

What a difference five months can be. I share this because we just finished five months of shelter-in-place and modified lockdowns. This represents the time when Michele and I detected her cancer and began treatments. An article written on May 20th shared that Primary care doctor visits are down 60% since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.  There have been many articles (The Telegraph, STAT, ABCNews, Nature) published showing concerns about the lack of diagnosis of cancers due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Attend your Regular Health Screening!

One, it is important to know your body. Are there changes that you can either feel or are painful? Two, schedule your regular checkups and scans. Hopefully, your doctor can meet you for regular checkups and yearly health screening.

If you feel something different, insist and make the time to visit. We were blessed to have the opportunity to see our doctors when we needed them and get the surgery Michele needed when they were scheduled. As a result, we will get to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary on August 5th; we will get to celebrate our son's high school graduation. We get to start our brand new business together and hopefully see the end of the Covid-19 pandemic together. God bless and be safe, everyone!

Discuss with your principals school safety protocols to protect students, teachers, and staff from the Covid-19 virus.

As a father of four beautiful children and a teacher for the last 24 years, my heart and head are still in education despite taking a year-leave of absence.   I can’t help but pay attention to the plans and ideas going around school safety this fall. With the Covid-19 virus guiding both the state and local education plans, keeping up with all the changes can be challenging.  As decisions are made, it is important that we, as parents and/or educators, give grace to those making the decisions.  Everyone has incomplete information.  

Recent board meetings summary about School Safety

Based on that incomplete information, they are tasked to make decisions that impact the lives of tens of thousands of kids and families. Whether you agree or disagree, that is based on your incomplete information. Whatever side you are on, approach your opportunity to share your side with kindness. That said, below is a summary of events I have discovered based on recent board meetings.   

Oceanside Unified School District 

  • Opened a brand new virtual school - Surfside Academy.   The school offers three options to serve your children - homeschool, blended learning or direct instruction.   It is led by the Principal Eric Frandsen who is a man with a great heart for kids and learning.  They have some great people over at Surfside Academy and I trust, that with Mr. Frandsen’s leadership, that Surfside will do well and serve the diverse needs of the community of OUSD.
  • Superintendent Dr. Vitale on recent Virtual Town Hall with Mike Levin, Representative of the 49th District.
    • At 5:12 mark - Rep. Mike Levin shared recent Covid-19 infection and death rates for both Orange County and San Diego County.
    • At 11:50 mark - Dr. Vitale shares recent Governor Newsome’s orders and what the district has done to serve students and prepare staff to keep everyone safe.
    • At 15:00 mark - Rep. Mike Levin summarized all that the federal government has accomplished.
    • At 31:02 mark - Dr. Vitale addresses Q&A on what districts have done to prepare teachers for distance learning.
    • At 33:54 mark - Rep. Levin and Dr. Vitale address Q&A on if teachers are “essential workers.”
    • At 36:25 mark - Rep. Levin and Dr. Vitale address Q&A on what are the guidelines for safety for students in school.   They summarized the recent Governor’s orders for classroom instruction

Vista Unified School District

As many of you know, LA Unified and SD Unified made the decision on July 13th to start the school year with distance learning.  As a parent, I like Vista USD’s recent decision to postpone the start of school to September 8th.   It gives teachers more time to prepare for Vista Virtual and gives parents hope that school may start as Vista Classic if things change with Covid-19 outbreaks.  

As a parent, I know the value of being in a classroom and seeing my children thrive under the guidance of excellent teachers.   At the same time, as a teacher, I know the importance of having my students face-to-face, building relationships, and allowing them to work collaboratively with each other.   Add to that with science instruction, it is difficult to replicate lessons learned from setting up labs, discussing ideas and dealing with trial and error with laboratory experiments.   Those experiences are difficult to replicate with online simulations.

Discuss School safety protocols!

If schools do open up, please be sure to discuss safety protocols with your principals to protect students, teachers, and staff from the Covid-19 virus. What mitigation steps will they take in the event a positive case arises? Or, what decontamination methods will be used both in the event of a Covid-19 infection and regularly to prevent? What EPA N Listed chemicals are they using to decontaminate? Are they food grade safe, especially when used in the classroom?  Have them contact Bio-One and I can provide any assistance they need to ensure our children's and school safety.
