BONNE ANNEE TO ALL OF YOU PREPARED LISTENERS ! !

WAGRadio management and staff remember Dr. Li Wenliang.
We remind all of our Prepared Listeners to have the same heightened awareness and caution in 2022 that was at the forefront in 2020 when we didn't know that there would be Covid 19 variants or what was really going on.
Practice physical distancing. Practice hand washing as the norm. Avoid crowded, poorly ventilated areas. Wear an N95 mask, and if you're sick - stay home to reduce the spread. Follow the latest advice from your regional health officer.
If you've become complacent about public health measures in the past few months - NOW is the time to REDOUBLE YOUR EFFORTS ! !
