Are you a business owner, and you need help and free
money from the government for your business? Please read the following:
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
(CARES Act) was passed in 2020 in response to the economic disruption caused by
the Covid-19 pandemic. As part of the Cares Act, two programs were created to
help businesses stay afloat during the pandemic: The Paycheck Protection
Program (PPP) and the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC).
The PPP was designed to provide businesses with
low-interest loans to cover payroll and other costs. The amount of the loan was
equal to 2.5 times the applicant’s average monthly payroll costs. The loan
could be partially or fully forgiven if the business kept its employee counts
and wages stable. The program was implemented by the U.S. Small Business
Administration and the deadline to apply was March 31, 2021.
The ERTC is a payroll tax credit designed to reward
businesses that kept their employees on the payroll. The program provides
businesses with a payroll tax credit up to $26,000 if you can show that you retained
your employee for each quarter of 2020 and 2021. The program was created as an
incentive for businesses to keep their employees, as opposed to the PPP which
was a loan that had to be paid back.
This makes the ERTC a blessing for businesses of all
sizes, as they can take advantage of the free money without having to worry
about making any loan payments. Businesses that missed out on the PPP loan
still have a chance to cash in. The program was recently extended, allowing
businesses to apply for the ERTC in 2023 if they meet the eligibility
requirements.
If you’re a business owner who wants to take advantage of
this free money from the government, you should act fast. Visit oozof.com/whatisertc
and fill out the form. A CPA clerk will contact you to learn more about your
business. He’ll show you what you need to provide for the application, and when
you can expect to receive your money.
The ERTC program is an incredible opportunity for
businesses to take advantage of free money from the government and keep their
employees employed because of the pandemic. Don’t miss out on this last chance;
visit oozof.com/whatisertc today and fill out the form before it’s too late.

Sea Buckthorn is pleasingly sweet, and should be considered for blends for all skin types. What are we without our health? And our overall state of health is related to the state of our skin as well as our overall wellbeing. • Follow it up with a good toner
Use sunscreen lotions for protection against sun. ear lobes. Copper Peptide is the main content of skin care products that concentrates on cell regeneration
For outstanding skin care it is best to moisturize skin immediately following a shave. Avoid Consumption of junk foods, too much of sweets and oil food as these lead to weight gain. Apply toner to a cotton tissue rather than a cotton ball as a tissue is less absorbent and you will end up using less toner on your face. This product would be useful for someone with dry or oily skin. To pamper your skin and care for it properly, avoid wearing tight clothing for long periods of time
Apricot can make up the entire base if you so desire. When the skin loses moisture it may crack and peel, or become irritated and inflamed. Carriers are the naturally pressed oils from nut and seed sources
If in case you are unable to drink more water then add some flavoring substances such as lemon, mint leaves to enhance the taste. Vitamin C is necessary to create collagen and maintain structural protein that keeps skin elasticity and makes skin strong. Herbs like neem , tulsi , turmeric and sandalwood help in skin care

With the recently released new Covid-19 vaccine, comes a host of unforeseen problems…not enough vaccine for everyone who might want it, the short vaccine shelf-life, and the lack of regulations for getting the vaccine out first to those who need it most (frontline healthcare workers).
So, it might come as a shock to many that a minimum of two hospitals in Southern California have actually been immunizing non-frontline employees having actually gotten extra doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine including Redlands Community Hospital.

“Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.” ― Lord Byron
One thing we know for sure – every single person can help our country control the COVID-19 pandemic. From wearing a mask to washing your hands to maintaining physical distance and avoiding large indoor gatherings, each of us can follow proven public health practices that not only reduce our own chance of getting infected by SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes coronavirus disease, or COVID-19), but also prevent the spread of COVID-19 to our coworkers, friends and loved ones. Another thing that will help is testing as many people as possible.
Testing for COVID-19 is so important that in April 2020, the NIH launched the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) Initiative to develop rapid, easy-to-use, accurate testing and make it available nationwide. As part of this effort, the RADx Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) program is about finding solutions to stop the spread of COVID-19, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities, and other vulnerable populations that have been disproportionately affected by this pandemic. Previously, we reported about the launch of this project and our plans to develop community-based approaches to study how best to implement testing and prevention strategies for populations who are disproportionately affected by, have the highest infection rates of, or are most at risk for complications or poor outcomes from COVID-19.
Scientists from the NIH and across the country are working around the clock to establish programs that will ensure access to and acceptance of rapid and reliable testing around the country. Testing can help people determine if they are infected with SARS-CoV-2 – regardless of whether they have symptoms – and whether they are at risk of spreading the infection to others. Taking measures to prevent the spread of infection will be the most effective strategy for getting us safely back to work and school.
We want to take this opportunity to articulate why widespread testing is necessary, important, and achievable.
1. Testing saves lives
Testing of all people for SARS-CoV-2, including those who have no symptoms, who show symptoms of infection such as trouble breathing, fever, sore throat or loss of the sense of smell and taste, and who may have been exposed to the virus will help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by identifying people who are in need of care in a timely fashion. A positive test early in the course of the illness enables individuals to isolate themselves – reducing the chances that they will infect others and allowing them to seek treatment earlier, likely reducing disease severity and the risk of long-term disability, or death.
Testing of people who have been in contact with others who have a documented infection is also important. A negative test doesn’t mean you’re in the clear; you could become infectious later. Therefore, even if you test negative, you need to continue to protect yourself and others by washing your hands frequently, physically distancing, and wearing a face mask. A positive test makes it clear that you have to isolate yourself, and that others with whom you have been in contact since the time of your exposure should also get tested.
Since it is recognized that nearly half of all SARS-CoV-2 infections are transmitted by people who are not showing any symptoms, identifying infected individuals while they are presymptomatic, as well as those who are asymptomatic, will play a major role in stopping the pandemic.
2. Testing can be easy and quick
Initially, the only test available required getting a sample from the back of a person’s throat. New developments, some of which are supported by two other NIH projects, RADx Tech and RADx-ATP (Advanced Technology Platforms), will provide more comfortable and equally accurate tests that obtain the sample from inside the nose. On the horizon for large-scale use are tests that will use a simple mouth swab or a saliva sample.
A positive test for SARS-CoV-2 alerts an individual that they have the infection. Not only can they get treated faster, but they can take steps to minimize the spread of the virus.
This is why it is so important to get the test results quickly, ideally within a few hours or less.
Early in the pandemic, there was not enough capacity and limited supplies to collect and process the tests, which resulted in delays. However, lab equipment has improved, capacity and supply have expanded, and results are being returned, on average, within 3-4 days. In fact, point-of-care tests will be available that provide a result in less than 15 minutes!
3. Testing matters more in the communities affected the most
Communities of color are disproportionately burdened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some individuals in these communities are essential workers, who cannot work from home, increasing their risk of being exposed to the virus. In addition, multi-generational living situations or multi-family housing arrangements can allow the virus to spread more quickly if one household member gets infected. Comorbid conditions that worsen the health risks of COVID-19, such as heart disease, obesity and diabetes, are also more common in minority communities because of long-standing societal and environmental factors and impediments to healthcare access. Therefore, COVID-19 can spread quickly in these communities, and the impact of that spread is great. Testing, particularly of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic individuals, is key to interrupting this spread.
Unfortunately, there still is a lot of confusion about where to get a test and who should get tested. It is becoming clear that for a person to test positive, they have to have a significant amount of the virus in their system. This means that if you have no symptoms but think or were told that you were in contact with a person with COVID-19, you should isolate yourself immediately, call your health care provider, and then get a test. If you have any question, always call your health care provider or local county public health office. You can also contact the CDC Hotline at 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636).
Staying informed is essential. We encourage you to look to up-to-date, trusted sources of information about COVID-19, such as resources from the NIH website or MedlinePlus, the National Library of Medicine’s consumer information resource.
Over the next few months, you’ll have opportunities, such as those listed at the NIH’s vaccine trial sites, to help scientists discover if the vaccines being evaluated now are effective. If you become ill with COVID-19, you can to participate in clinical trials underway to develop and evaluate a wide range of potential treatments, as well as several possible vaccines. So that these therapies will work for everyone, it is important for people from diverse communities across the country to participate in this research. We hope that in the not too distant future, these efforts will lead to therapies that will put an end to the pandemic.
In the meantime, let’s all continue to protect ourselves and others from getting infected, and get tested if you believe you have been in contact with someone with COVID-19.
