D.O.H.C. w/ Dr. Lindsey Valenzuela re: 275 El Cielo Rd., Palm Springs, 92262. “Your Health, Your Life, Our Passion”. Vice President of Population Health and Health Integration.
– QUESTIONS from “Joey Pals”.
1. Is the Moderna Vaccine stronger. (Pfiser and Moderna have the same mechanism and both original trials showed the same efficacy. Recent studies show that antibody production is greater w/ Moderna.)
2. Are antibodies from natural immunity different from antibodies for the vaccine? (Not necessarily. Antibodies are just an initial reaction that there is something there to fight.)
3. Regeneron and monoclonal antibodies? (We are creating these in the lab and injecting them into patients to give them something they need. Being allocated by the Government to states/counties w/ the greatest need.)
– D.O.H.C. has a good working relationship w/ the County.
4. What about boosters? (UK first to offer boosters. We have offered 3rd shots (NOT a booster) called an additional dose for immune compromised patients….THEN PROBABLY A BOOSTER.)
– REPORT that last year the flu was not as bad as it will be this year because we are starting to open up. Same way we are trying to stop Covid is the same way we will stop flu.

1. I’m getting so depressed and “over” working from home. (We are just “done” with it. Miss smiles, miss the social aspect of our lives. 80% of what we do when we communicate is not verbal, it’s visual and we are “cut off”. We don’t even recognize folks w/ a mask on.)

1. Start each day w/ a “mindful” start of the day for 10 or 15 minutes.
2. Customize this to fit YOU otherwise you WON’T DO IT.
3. Write down and organize your immediate goal or long term goal.
4. Where you “put” that goal is important.
5. Find a good friend to “share” the good and the bad news here with.
6. Eliminate distractions.
