As part of the country reopen, experts in the health sector want you to consider another layer of personal protective equipment in your daily life, which is clear plastic face shields to stay safe.

Clear plastic face shields could help reduce the transmission of infections when added to public health measures like social distancing, increased testing, contact tracing, and hand hygiene.

Health / Are Your Hands Clean? by Petoz(m): 7:47pm On Jul 14, 2020
One of the earliest hygiene lessons we learned is hand hygiene, it’s a lesson we learn from infantry and it has become one of our daily routine that must be adhered to strictly for a healthy living.

What exactly is hand hygiene and why is it important to our health?

Hand hygiene is the deliberate act and practice of keeping your hands clean using soap, clean water and alcohol-based sanitizer. Yes you have to be deliberate when it comes to hand hygiene because there are lots of things that could come up in the journey of a day that are most likely to make you forget to wash your hands regularly, but being deliberate about it makes you create time out of a busy schedule to attend to your hands.

It has become a practice among for some people to eat without washing their hands, skipping proper hand-washing after a visit to the rest room and not washing after coming in contact with dirt. While it has become a common practice for others to wash their hands regularly regardless of whether they do something or not.

By the reason of profession, some people tend to wash their hands more often than others, a medical practitioner is more likely to wash his/her hands regularly than a receptionist in an office.

Why do we have to wash our hands regularly?

The world is going through a period of COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease) pandemic and one of the numerous suggested ways of curbing the spread of the virus is through a regular hand washing with soap under running water for 20 seconds. https://wegetinformed.com/2020/07/07/how-to-wash-your-hands-properly-to-prevent-yourself-from-covid-19/

Investment / How To Rise Amidst Economic Crisis by Petoz(m): 7:39pm On Jul 14, 2020
The entire world undergoes a forceful change, people have died and still dying, borders were closed and just opening up, the world economy has nosedived, businesses are not as usual as some offices are inoperative, religious gatherings are affected, events are been postponed, world leaders are confuse on the issue and law makers don’t even know what to do. The rich are crying, the poor are suffering, fear has taken over, desperation is gaining prominence, everyone is affected.

Our world was taken unaware by the novel Corona Virus (COVID-19) which has changed the whole narratives. ‘What does the future hold?’ is the question in the lips of many people, things are not the way they used to be; millions of jobs have been lost, people have died in thousands, businesses have gone down in millions. The world will never remain the same again.


In the United States of America alone, unemployment rate jumped from 3.5% to 14.7% between February to April 2020, as 20.6 million jobs have been lost due to the effect of the pandemic virus, a massive disruption that has not been witnessed since in the 1930s during great depression.

About 1.6 billion people employed in the informal economy, nearly half of the global workforce could see their livelihood destroyed due to the continuous decline in working hours brought on by lock downs. 2 billion have jobs in the formal economy representing the most vulnerable workers in the labor market out of the 3.3 billion workers globally, it means COVID-19 impact could cause equivalent of 195 million job losses according to international labor organization (ILO).

The business enterprise is not left untouched as more than 430 million enterprises risk disruption especially those in hard-hit sectors such as retail and manufacturing.
From all angles, it could be viewed that the impact of the novel Corona Virus Pandemic far exceed the financial crisis in 2008-2009. https://wegetinformed.com/2020/07/05/how-to-rise-amidst-economic-crisis/

Business / Foundation For Wealth Building by Petoz(m): 7:31pm On Jul 14, 2020
It is no longer news that wealth is built through multiple streams of income. Therefore having salary as the only source of livelihood might require more efforts on your part to intelligently device means to invest your money in things that can generate more money for you with little or no effort.

If you cannot make money while you sleep, you might spend all your life looking for money. That is the reason why financial intelligence is a must if you want to be financially free.
There are things you need to know to serve as foundation to wealth building.

The following are highlights:

Salary cannot make you rich: No matter how much you earn, you cannot become rich with your salary unless you imbibe investment mentality. One of the things salary does is to make so dependent on it and when it ceases to come, you become broke and angry. You can transfer Business Empire to your children or any investment but you cannot transfer salary job to your children. The day you ceases to work for your salary is the day it stops coming, but investment will keep yielding whether you work or not. Salary does not give you freedom of time. You are paid based on the time you commit to a particular job, unlike investment which gives you freedom to do other profitable things with your time. https://wegetinformed.com/2020/06/30/foundation-for-wealth-building/

Business / What To Do In Times Of Economic Crisis by Petoz(m): 5:49pm On Jul 12, 2020
What do you do when it seems as if all is over? How best do you navigate the river of economic hardship and stark reality of cash Short fall?

The truth is, the bad economic situation of the world is a blessing in disguise for those that can view it with foresight and maximize the opportunity.

At a time like this, power is about to change hand; some will rise from grass to grace while another will fall from grace to grass. What makes the difference is their perspectives and ability to change with times.

I like to present to you some solutions that sound ironical but very effective and potent when applied to situations like economic crisis:

KEEP HOPE ALIVE
It’s easy to hope when everything is alright, but it’s much harder when you can’t see much opportunity amidst the obstacles. Great people are considered great because they did something almost no one else believed was possible. Let your hope be alive and never say die. Remain optimistic and be hopeful for a better tomorrow.
During World War II when Hitler’s steamroller over Europe was almost unstoppable, Winston Churchill single handedly kept hope alive for the entire western world, he instilled hope with his words when almost everyone else had lost hope. Also, Abraham Lincoln brought unity to a nation fractured at its seams. Martin Luther King dreamed of a better day many people thought would never come.
So, how do you keep hope alive when things are going the opposite direction? Encourage yourself with what has happened in history. Know that the crisis is not the end of life. See a light at the end of the tunnel.

Be decisive...https://wegetinformed.com/2020/07/06/what-to-do-in-times-of-economic-crisis/
