For the past week I’ve gone back and forth with how I would address the constituents of Sac Cultural Hub regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that has now caused total disruption and chaos to everyday life unlike anything we have seen before in our businesses, our communities, and our personal households. My official title is the Founder of Sacculturalhub.com and Chief Editor of THE HUB Magazine as well as the Executive Director of the Sac Cultural Hub Media Foundation, however I see myself as really a public servant agent working in concert with other public service agencies and media entities compelled to compose vital information and resources that maybe helpful to individuals, families and our communities to save our lives. As a mother of 3 daughters and grandmother to 5 grandsons, it has become essential to keep everyone in my family as well as others fully informed of I what I know and deemed to be true based on information that I’ve received via e-mail, social media, radio and t.v. news.
The overall purpose of this notice is to provide a centralized electronic document that is easy to follow and read on what’s happening with the coronavirus, resources available to you, what should be in your emergency preparedness kit, as well as suggestions on what you can or should be doing during the numerous event cancellations/postponements, limited air travels, school closures, other business closures (either partial or full closures) that may include: bars and nightclubs; movie theaters and entertainment venues; bowling alleys and arcades; gyms and fitness centers; most churches and large houses of worships. Some are experiencing employer shutdowns and/or transition to partial telecommuting and now the proposed imposed lockdown throughout the United States by President Trump. Although the news info we are hearing and receiving remains to be FLUID as we awake to new day to hear more news announcements.
As we respond to the current public health challenge, we emphasize the following recommended steps to prevent the spread of all respiratory viruses:
- Washing hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
- Avoiding touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your elbow.
- Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
- Staying away from work, school, and other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough.

As quoted by Los Angeles City Councilmember Curren D. Price Jr.: “It is of the utmost importance for us to remain calm, exercise patience, stay prepared and educate ourselves on ways to stay safe and informed. Remember to keep areas cleaned, washing your hands regularly and stay home when sick. As a community, let us all be mindful of the actions we take to protect our health and the health of others so we can come out of this crisis a stronger and more united front.”
As I have been spiritually moved and led by the direction of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ/God almighty to compose and present this information, I along with you experience the personal and business hardship that COVID19 has caused in our normal everyday lifestyle. Be sure to share this document – Sac Cultural Hub Info/Resources – COVID19 – with your networks on the valuable resources included (print and read the full document in its entirety). And please remember that we must be very careful in forwarding and/or sharing misinformation that may be harmful and/or not true.
