The 11:00 am update just came through and the number of Hillsborough cases doubled again, after doubling yesterday. We're now at 30 confirmed cases and since only 81 tests have been administered so far, it would be prudent to assume that there are a lot of people walking around with this virus unknowingly. 

There is a lot happening very quickly and we're trying hard to keep it consolidated it for you in our Brandon, FL COVID-19 Resource Guide.

We may be social-distancing, but we've never been more dependent on each other than we are right now. Our health and livelihoods are all very much at risk and it is strangers who are ultimately deciding our fates. We need to keep up with the guidance, our personal decisions, hygiene and cleanliness like never before as we work together to defeat this disease. 

The best advice I've heard so far, assume that you have it and do everything you can to protect your loved ones, friends, and the general public. The economic toll of this disease is severe, but our best way out of this is to defeat this disease here and now by preventing its spread.

Please take a look at the resource guide; there is information in there for unemployment benefits, COVID-19 testing, and small business loan applications. If you find it useful, or lacking something important, please let me know so we can make it as helpful as possible.

These are uncertain times and I just want you to know I'm here for you. A lot of people are hurting right now and we can and will get through this TOGETHER.
