I may seem hypocritical because we are offering Covid Disinfecting and Sanitization for a virus that (I believe) is not so deadly. Read this Newsletter and discover why I think there is some bad math going on from the experts.

Have you found yourself not knowing what day of the week it is? Our routines are so upside down because of this Corona Virus Stay Vaca, I phase out sometimes not sure what the heck I’m doing. I’m not completely lost, it’s just that I find myself sitting around at home feeling like Bill Murray in the movie, 'Ground Hog Day'. Kerri and I truly are running out of new things to talk about.
