    The Atlanta Falcons debuted new team uniforms on Wednesday with updated designs that build on the team’s main red and black colors.

    One departure from past jerseys is that the uniforms have the word “ATL” printed on the front. Typically that’s where the actual name of the team would go, but this is groundbreaking.

    The Atlanta Falcons Twitter account shared the new fits with the caption: “New day, new drip.”

    The jerseys add some spice to the squad’s 2020 season, which will be like no other, given the global health crisis going on. 

    The Falcons likely aren’t the only team with new outfits this year. It remains to be seen if any other franchises will follow suit.

    Falcons Coach Dan Quinn says the team has had to adjust to the new normal by learning how to teach online. He says with the technology they have and the planning they’re putting into place, they’re learning “how to throw a hell of a virtual offseason.”

    Georgia Lockdown Extended Another Month

    Tee Johnson craigsotherlistyahoo-com April 8, 2020
    3 Min Read

    Georgia has made the decision to extend its satewide lockdown by four weeks, Gov. Brian Kemp announced on Wednesday, April 8. The measures are to ensure that the state is doing what it can to fight the rise of coronavirus cases. 

    Update: Georgia Lockdown Lifted

    The Peach State has been under a statewide shelter-in-place order that was to end on April 13, but that’s no longer the case.

    It now extends to April 30, 2020. State and local observers are wondering if Kemp will allow it to expire, especially since he has re-opened Georgia businesses.

    Georgia Extends State Of Emergency Until…

    In extending the order, Kemp was joined by Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan and House Speaker David Ralston. 

    “To ensure the health and well-being of Georgians, I will extend the public health state of emergency through May 13, 2020,” Kemp said in a written statement. “This measure will allow us to continue to deploy resources to communities in need, lend support to frontline medical providers, and keep preparing as we brace for potential patient surge in our healthcare facilities.”

    He added: “We deeply appreciate the hard work of Georgians who are sheltering in place, using social distancing, and helping us flatten the curve. We are in this fight together.”

    The move comes as Atlanta was selected as a drive-through testing site for COVID-19 cases. The testing site, a partnership between the state, CVS and Georgia Tech, has seen long lines of cars as people wait to get tested for coronavirus. 

    The actual test only takes less than 30 minutes, according to people who have endured the process.

    Kemp’s original order has been met with criticism because of the appearance of a lax attitude toward the order from Georgia officials. For instance, Georgia reopened the beaches shortly after issuing the statewide emergency.

    Here’s what’s allowed under Georgia’s shelter in place order. You can still go to:
    • Golf course
    • Grocery store
    • Laundrymat
    • Pharmacy

    You can go to any of these places as long as you practice social distancing.

    How To Make A Mask And Face Cover: Easy Steps To Follow

    Tee Johnson craigsotherlistyahoo-com April 4, 2020
    5 Min Read

    With the continued spread of the coronavirus pandemic, public health officials are recommending that the American public wear respiratory masks.

    This article is going to show you how to make a mask from how-to videos recommended by nurses, textile pros and manufacturing companies.

    In This Article:

    • How To Make A Mask in 4 Easy Steps
    • How To Make A Face Cover: Materials & Tutorial
    • Examples of Homemade Face Covers
    •  

    Before we get started, let’s look explicitly at what the CDC recommends when it comes to cloth masks. In its guidance titled “Recommendations Regarding the Use of Cloth Face Coverings,” the agency says this:

    In light of this new evidence [asymptomatic transmission], CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.

    The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators.  Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.

    Now that we’ve brushed up on the guidance, here’s what to know about mask effectiveness. This graphic shows the effectiveness of a surgical, N95 and FFP (filter face piece) as it relates to contaminants.

    Basically, what it’s showing is that not all masks are equally effective in protecting you from the novel coronavirus Sars-CoV-2 & Covid-19. Now let’s get into the scientific data to back it up:

    • N95 Respirators: These are touted as providing 95% protection against viruses but maybe less, according to this study from the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
    • Cloth Masks:  The DIY nature of these means that not all cloth masks are created equal. However, a  preliminary study published in ACS Nano by University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory researchers indicate that homemade face masks made out of a combination of tight cotton and silk or polyester-spandex chiffon is very effective in filtering out aerosols.
    • Surgical Masks: Most used in a health care setting, these are made out of polypropylene and are 56% effective against viral droplets, according to research published in the British Medical Journal.
    • No Mask: You’re on your own with this one. Hope you’re not a carrier.

    How To Make A Mask In 4 Easy Steps

    • Lay a piece of cloth on a table
    • Fold it in a large rectangle no more than 18 inches long
    • Wrap two rubberband on each end and position it about 3 inches in
    • Fold the sides one time toward the middle

    And that’s how you make a face covering!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=42&v=tPx1yqvJgf4

    The CDC has issued guidance on how to protect yourself from COVID-19 by wearing a face cover. Here is what you need to know:

    How To Make A Face Cover

    • fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
    • be secured with ties or ear loops
    • include multiple layers of fabric
    • allow for breathing without restriction
    • be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape

    The agency says when you remove a face covering, it’s important not to touch your hands, eyes or face.

    You can easily wash a face covering in the washing machine, which is sufficient to kill any viruses or bacteria.

    If you want to sew a face cover, here are the instructions:

    Materials Needed To Sew A Face Covering

    • Two 10”x6” rectangles of cotton fabric
    • Two 6” pieces of elastic (or rubber bands, string, cloth strips, or hair ties)
    • Needle and thread (or bobby pin)
    • Scissors
    • Sewing machine

    Tutorial: How to Sew A Face Covering

     1. Cut out two 10-by-6-inch rectangles of cotton fabric. Use tightly woven cotton, such as quilting fabric or cotton sheets

    2. Fold over the long sides ¼ inch and hem. Then fold the double layer of fabric over ½ inch along the short sides and stitch down.

    3. Run a 6-inch length of 1/8-inch wide elastic through the wider hem on each side of the mask. These will be the ear loops. Use a large needle or a bobby pin to thread it through. Tie the ends tight.
    Don’t have elastic? Use hair ties or elastic head bands.

    4. Gently pull on the elastic so that the knots are tucked inside the hem. Gather the sides of the mask on the elastic and adjust so the mask fits your face. Then securely stitch the elastic in place to keep it from slipping.

    Need Free Roll Of Toilet Paper? Atlanta PR Firm Distributes

    Tee Johnson craigsotherlistyahoo-com April 3, 2020
    3 Min Read

    One thing that’s been selling out in area grocery stores is toilet paper. The truth is that no one anticipated people would be buying toilet paper in the coronavirus pandemic, but that’s what’s happening.

    If you need toilet paper, there’s one outfit that has you covered. Atlanta-based digital marketing and PR agency, Trevelino/Keller has created the Toilet Paper Exchange (TPE), which gives out free toilet paper.

    Atlanta PR Firm Distributes Free Toilet Paper

    “In times like this, we need a bit of levity to break up the stress associated with ever-changing dynamics due to the coronavirus,” says Genna Keller, principal at Trevelino/Keller. “The Toilet Paper Exchange is indeed intended to distract us from the current stress while providing those TP-less, a roll to get through the day. We see the potential for the platform to address other impending household needs and are exploring additional ways we can use it to help the Atlanta community.”

    Dean Trevelino says it is his hope that many of the city’s businesses that have closed their offices and set up shop remotely can donate their toilet roll surpluses.

    “We suspect many schools, businesses and churches have excess supply of toilet paper and other paper and cleaning products,” adds Dean Trevelino, principal. “We encourage them to contribute to the TPE and we’ll take it from there.”

    For groups interested in donating excess toilet paper and/or serving as a TP Toss Collection Point, please visit http://toiletpaperexchange.com/TKTossPartner.

    Georgia Gov. Brian signed a statewide shelter-in-place order on Wednesday, April 1. The executive order goes in effect on Friday and lasts through April 13. Update: Georgia’s Statewide Lockdown Was Extended Until April 30.

    “Tomorrow, I will sign a statewide shelter-in-place order which will go into effect on Friday and run through April 13, 2020,” Kemp said at a press release. “This date is in line with our public health emergency order.”

    The order “is to make sure our citizens are healthy in every ZIP code,” he said.

    Kemp sparked immediate controversy when he said that he and his officialsrecently learned asymptomatic people could transmit coronavirus: “We didn’t know that until the last 24 hours.”

    Here’s what’s allowed under Georgia’s shelter in place order. You can still go to:

    The startling admission caused many on social media to question Kemp’s qualifications as governor.

    The statewide order includes orders to cancel all k-12 public school through the rest of this school year.

    Georgia Institutes Statewide Stay-At-Home Order

    Here’s what it says on the state of Georgia’s website about the order

    The state is asking every Georgian to limit person-to-person contact until the pandemic is over. Social distancing is not about us as individuals; it’s about all Georgians working in unison to slow the spread of the virus so our hospitals are not overwhelmed by a surge of critically ill patients. It will take weeks to see the effects of these measures.

    Kemp tweeted “We want Georgians to enjoy the outdoors, but you must abide by social distancing guidelines. @GeorgiaWild is patrolling state parks and waterways to enforce my executive order.”

    As the order was passed down, Georgia Patrol cruisers were observed on city highways, Atlanta Police Department cars were seen on local streets roads and boulevards to enforce the order.

    Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has been waiting for the statewide order as she has enacted several executive orders to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

    “I have signed an Executive Order, effective at midnight, limiting restaurants to take out service, closing bars, gyms, etc.” Lance Bottoms tweeted. “The fate of cities across the globe will be upon soon if we do not follow recommendations on ways to slow the spread of the Coronavirus.”

    Atlanta-based Home Depot is executing a “a “Stop-Sale” on all N95 masks in stores and on its website due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    The announcement is part of several steps Home Depot is instituting as part of its plan to adjust to work environment changes due to COVID-19.

    For its employees, the store is increasing vacation time and pay based on several situations workers are facing right now.

    That includes providing bonuses to hourly associates in stores and distribution centers — $100 per week for full-time hourly workers and $50 per week for part-time hourly workers.

    Here are other changes Home Depot is making or has made:

    • They froze U.S. pricing across product categories in high demand due to COVID-19
    • The company is donating millions of dollars in personal protective equipment (PPE) and other products to hospitals, health care providers and first responders
    • Prioritizing order fulfillment for hospitals, health care providers and first responders
    • Mobilizing the resources of its merchandising and supply chain teams to globally source quality products and expedite the availability of needed items

    Atlanta rapper Future is stepping up big-time to help fight the coronavirus pandemic that has gripped much of the world.

    The “Mask Off” artist announced that his foundation, Free Wishes, is making and donating respiratory masks to health care workers to combat the shortage. 

    Future’s Foundation Announces Mask On Campaign

    “We recognize how alarming and critical the need is for medical equipment, so we have stepped in to help, by ensuring that masks are provided to healthcare professionals and patients, currently hospitalized,” the organization, which is run by Future’s sister and mother, said in a news release.

    The organization is partnering with local sewing company Atlanta Sewing Style to manufacture the masks.

    “Healthcare professionals, on the frontlines of this pandemic, are possibly risking their lives,” the organization added. “Last week many healthcare professionals and providers pleaded out to the nation for help, as they were experiencing an extreme shortage in medical supplies. In many instances, healthcare providers were asked to re-use masks or even wear bandanas as a replacement. Medical professionals voiced that this was risky and it could potentially expose them to the coronavirus.”
