Arts Connections Advice #7

 

Q: I was recently trying to send a file via email, which is new to me. I live with my mother, who didn't grow up with computers, so it's hard to figure out how to use different features. How do I get his information?

A: The easiest way to find out simple computing functions is to do a web search. When I looked up your specific question, many results came up. This is a very common question! The first result was from support.google.com, but there were also YouTube videos and a step by step guide by wikihow.com that includes pictures. You can apply this search method to almost any basic computing question and find tons of resources. When in doubt, Google it!

Q: How do we celebrate the holidays this year with the "Tripledemic" of Covid, the flu and RSV? 

A: We know how to navigate this from the past two holiday seasons, so one option is to stay home and have another socially distanced holiday. But that's easier said than done when you want to spend time with loved ones. So the best way to protect yourself is to make sure that everyone has had all of their Covid boosters and this year's flu shot. There's still no vaccine for RSV, so if there are infants and elderly relatives, you may all want to mask up. Same advice applies if anyone is showing symptoms of a respiratory infection. If you live in a resonably warm climate, you may also want to spend a lot of time outside. None of this will protect you 100%, but odds are that if you're fully boosted and vaccinated, that you should be ok.
