- Good afternoon Fowler Family!
- COVID Update
- Unfortunately, we had over 2000 new cases of COVID over the weekend and 20 deaths. Saturday, we had a record high of 1267 new cases and on Sunday we had 800
- Monday, we reported 426 new cases
- Medical City Hospital and Texas Health Dallas have resumed elective surgeries
- The state has released data on COVID in licensed senior communities in Texas
- There have been 356 deaths in Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing facilities in Texas through July 13
- North Texas had 270 of the 365
- Our response has not changed – Love your Neighbor Basics has served us well – keep up the good work
- Fowler Community Updates:
- Our new vendor, the Yard Guys are working hard to get our grounds cleaned up – I believe they have been here every day since they started – yes even Sunday
- You will see them more frequently right now – this will not be the normal schedule – at some point this will taper off but there is a lot of overgrowth and cleanup to be done
- If you have question or ideas, please relay these to your building manager not the men doing the work – it’s important that the Yard Guys taking direction from a single source – as you can imagine it would be a challenge for them to have 353 supervisors
