Veneuzuelans face crackdowns on Social Media for posts that Americans take for granted. Here's what's happening and why.
by Virginia Fuess
Americans seemingly use social media without worry or thoughts about consequence about what is posted. By contrast, Venezuela, a country ravaged by violence and a dangerous government, platforms such as Twitter are utilized at great risk.
More specifically, National Public Radio recently brought to light the story of a man who risks so much just to get pharmaceuticals to sick civilians. Going by the name Guillermo, he tweets prescription needs for friends and strangers alike with hope that someone will assist them by providing the medicine needed. Another Twitter user who works for a pharmacy, named Rojo, retweets "someone looking for methotrexate, for arthritis. 'We don't have this,'" he announces. 'Please retweet.'" (NPR News).
This is dangerous work: the constant threat of people trying to help others through the mas communication of social media being shut down by the government leads workers to use fake names. Speaking about his family, Guillermo says, "someone I know, or who knows my family, could kidnap them. Just because of a picture. Because they might think that I can pay a ransom of thousands of dollars."
For, for the men and women risking so much to bring medicine to those at home in Venezuela, the job may not be worth the dangers they endure. Problems such as how closely the government watches its citizens and the uncertainty of if they are already proctoring social media have been exposed by escaped citizens of Venezuela, but the specific issue of cost versus benefits to those who are helping, such as Rojo and Guillermo, is the true concern.
Although most people who comment on this topic are unbiased, this is a very subjective controversy. To focus empathy on the Venezuelan public is what the majority would do, but NPR News unveiled the plight of those who are continuing to risk the safety of their family and wealth to bring health back to the struggling country.
While the government thinly masks the illness and destitute of its country, good Samaritans push past the heavily monitored aspects of life to help those in need. Sadly, these people are in constant danger. Say Guillermo,, "For [me], social media is more dangerous than it's worth." According to the 2017 Corruption Perceptions Index, Venezuela is the 169th least corrupt nation out of 175 countries. The devastating part is that the danger doesn't even emanate from controllable crime of the public, but from within the deep recesses of the shaded government.
For those with family, one would consider that philanthropists and risk takers such as Rojo or Guillermo are jeopardizing more than they should. To fully fix the issues in Venezuela it would take the help of huge organizations such as the United Nations, so why would defenseless individuals with so much to endanger put themselves in harm's way to fight a fire greater than they can handle?
Many of these social media saviors persevere with their posts out of empathy or guilt. Rojo, whose encounter with someone in pursuit of antidepressants led to a phone conversation in which that person mentioned suicide as the only option if they couldn't find their needed prescription. These subjects can inspire organizations to take the fight against the Venezuelan government to the next level: the suppression of people with needs and in great poverty will just dig a bigger hole. With every tweet that these individuals send out, they are risking so much. These men who put so much in peril to help others may conclude that it is not worth the danger, and soon they might log off Twitter forever.

If we gave you the simple answer to that question, this would be the shortest article in history. So let's start by agreeing that wearable technology is not merely a passing fad and does most definitely have a future. But what makes it such an important technological advance and how do we best utilise this innovative concept? Is it fad, fashion, or here to stay?
Medical and military beginnings
Wearable technology was originally developed not, as you may assume, as a fashion statement by some clever marketing agency, but for medical and military applications. In medicine, flexible plastic technology such as that developed by innovation and research experts Plastic Logic, has enabled patient monitoring to be easier, less invasive and less likely to block beds that could be better used for other patients.
The forward leaps in the medical and military sector (where wearable flexible screens inserted into the sleeves of BDUs(?) means that orders can be transmitted instantly to the soldier on the ground) have been enormous and, in the case of medical wearables, life-saving. It encourages R&D companies to keep on pushing the boundaries of what's possible; "Plastic Logic's flexible plastic displays are completely transformational in terms of product interaction," explains Plastic Logic CEO Indro Mukerjee. "I am delighted that Plastic Logic can now demonstrate the far-reaching potential of the underlying technology. Our ability to create flexible, transmissive backplanes has led us not only to co-develop a flexible image sensor, but is also key to flexible OLED displays as well as unbreakable LCDs."
So at one level, wearables have a key role to play in two of the most important aspects of our lives – our health and our defence. But what about everyday wearables?
Google Glass – dominant or doomed?
Take the one wearable that's really got everyone jumping up and down with excitement – Google Glass. It promises us a world of Augmented Reality and enhanced interaction with our environment – you really are in 'The Matrix'! But already the nay-sayers are claiming that Google Glass is doomed to fail because it's too complicated, it doesn't work properly or it distracts you and makes you walk under buses (insert your own reason here).
But what both Google Glass (which does, admittedly, have a few teething problems) and smartwatches (which also got off to a shaky start last year) demonstrate is the will to incorporate cutting edge technology into our everyday lives. Consumers are hungry for the next bit of innovative tech, and the smart money is on wearables.
Berg Insight estimates that the growth of wearable technology will result in a total of 64million global shipments by 2017, although other market commentators say that figure is well below what may actually be the true number, with ABI going for a much higher number of 485million by 2018.
Gender-specific wearables
One thing that manufacturers may not have taken into account with wearables as of yet is the difference in buying patterns between the sexes. Opinion is that current wearables are geared towards the male buyer, with accusations that the designs are too 'chunky' or masculine for women. Again, flexible plastic technology may hold the key to smaller smartwatches designed for slimmer women's wrists, for example.
But despite these small gripes and a few teething problems, the fact is that our ongoing love affair with all things gadget-y means that wearable technology most certainly does have a future – and a pretty good one at that too.

THE growth and prevalence of unethical and aggressive marketing strategies pursued by the pharmaceutical companies that spend a large amount of their annual turnover in bribes and gifts in different forms to physicians to promote their medicines eventually burdening the consumers as the companies recover the expenses through increased drug prices are worrying. A study on the prospects and challenges of the pharmaceutical industry in Bangladesh published on December 1 by the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies reveals that pharmaceutical companies in Bangladesh spend more than Tk 6,000 crore on marketing a year. The study also shows that pharmaceutical companies spent 29.6 per cent of their turnover on marketing in 2018, while the drug market was worth Tk 20,511.88 crore that year. A major amount of this marketing expenditure, the BIDS study says, is spent to give gifts to doctors which is, by local and international laws and policies, an unethical practice that affects the whole industry and the brunt of which are borne by consumers as they are forced to pay more for medicines. The drug prices, experts say, would drop by 70 per cent if such unethical marketing could be stopped.
In the absence of a strong monitoring mechanism and legal provisions, the pharmaceutical companies line their pockets with the money of patients to meet their marketing cost which is the main reason for an increase in drug prices. A 2015 BRAC study says that approaches such as inducements, persuasion, emotional blackmail, serving family members of the doctors and others are used by the pharmaceutical companies to influence popular physicians to establish brand loyalty. Such marketing strategy goes completely against the code of marketing practices. For example, article 19 of the Ethical Criteria for Medicinal Drug Promotion of the World Health Organisation says, 'Medical representatives should not offer inducements to prescribers and dispensers. Prescribers and dispensers should not solicit such inducements'; while the Code of Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices in the country mentions that 'no gift or financial inducement shall be offered or given to members of the medical profession for purposes of sales promotion.' But there are, as health experts rightly observe, no regulatory directives or punitive provisions for companies breaching the code. Even the Drugs Act and the Drug Control Ordinance do not stipulate any punitive measure for violation of the code leaving the pharmaceutical marketing scene in anarchy. As many countries have enacted laws criminalising such unethical practice in marketing, Bangladesh urgently needs a similar enactment with punitive measures for the violation of the code.
The government, under the circumstances, must amend the code and laws on drug marketing keeping to international legal instruments and the WHO guideline and include punitive measures to gain control over the pharmaceutical industry. The government, especially the Directorate General of Drug Administration, must put an effective monitoring mechanism in place to arrest any unethical practices to ensure consumers' right to medicines at reasonable prices.

Superhuman strength
Superhuman strength is an ability commonly invoked in fiction and other literary works such as mythology. It is the power to exert force and lift weights beyond what is physically possible for an ordinary human being. It is a fictionalized representation of the phenomenon of hysterical strength. Alternate terms of superhuman strength have included enhanced strength, super-strength and increased strength. Superhuman strength is an amorphous ability, varying in potency depending on the writer or the context of the story in which it is depicted.
Characters and deities with superhuman strength have been found in multiple ancient mythological accounts and religions.
Superhuman strength is a common trope in fantasy and science fiction. This is generally by means of mechanisms such as cybernetic body parts, genetic modification, telekinetic fields in science fiction, or magical/supernatural sources within fantasy. A plethora of comic book superheroes and super-villains display some degree of super strength. Some films invoke a fictional substance or drug that gives the superpower. The level of strength portrayed can vary greatly, from just outside the "normal" human range of the strongest weightlifters (e.g. unarmored Master Chief or Captain America), to nearly unlimited strength (e.g. Hulk, Superman, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Thor, Hercules or Goku).
Humans are actively trying to achieve superhuman strength via technology and scientific experimentation. Athletes have turned to various methods to improve performance, such as blood doping or taking anabolic steroids. Other technologies being researched are robotic exoskeletons to be worn by humans to enhance movement and strength.
Superhuman strength is a common ability of many gods and demigods in ancient mythology, such as Hercules/Heracles (Roman/Greek), Beowulf (Norse), Samson (the Bible), Bhima (Hindu) and Achilles (Greek). Attempts to modify the human body in order to gain extraordinary strength is common throughout history, as seen in fiction through characters such as Terminator, Robocop, Iron Man and Cyborg.
Humans have tried to enhance their strength through the use of substances. Accordingly, "In Ancient Rome, gladiators would drink herbal infusions to strengthen them before chariot races." Currently, drugs including stimulants, anabolic steroids, diuretics and β-blockers are ingested to enhance strength and other attributes.[1]
Humans have tried to use external devices to enhance their strength. The earliest device that was patented for this specific purpose can be credited to Nicholas Yagn, who filed the patent in 1890. The device was described to be an "apparatus for facilitating walking, running, and jumping" through the use of bags of compressed air.[2] The United States Department of Defense is considering a variety of technologies to create an exoskeleton intended for military use to enhance soldier performance.[3]
In the real world, extraordinary strength can occur via science. A person can become stronger, tougher, and more physically powerful than would seem humanly possible when using enhancements such as doping, substances and training.
Records describe instances of people going beyond "normal" strength in specific circumstances without taking any specific measures, as in the case of Tom Boyle, who was able to lift the front of a car in order to rescue a person trapped beneath it.[4] Penn State professor of kinesiology Vladimir Zatsiorsky stated that extraordinary strength can occur when a person engages their muscles through the conscious "exertion of will".[5] Zatsiorsky claims that trained athletes can improve their strength under specific conditions of competition.[5] Fear can also cause a person to exhibit enhanced human strength. (see hysterical strength)
The term appears in weight-lifting[6] and 'protein formula'[7] commercials without proof of their efficacy.
Weight lifters and other athletes routinely perform feats that appear to be superhuman to others. For examples, in 2016 Blaine Sumner achieved the heaviest single bench press of 401.5 kg (885 lbs 2 oz). At the same competition he squat-lifted 500 kg.[8] In 2016, Eddie Hall of the United Kingdom won the world record for heaviest deadlift at 500 kilograms (1,102 lbs 5 oz).
In fictionEdit
Many fictional works involve superhuman strength, rooted in religious texts or in scientific form.[9] The depiction of superhuman strength dates as far back as 900 BC to Greek mythology legends such as Hercules. Early legends portray characters gaining their superhuman strength from the gods and exhibiting characteristics of both heroic humans and gods.
More recently superhuman strength is employed by characters called superheroes in comic books, which dates back to the 1930s. Characters such as The Incredible Hulk, Superman, and Wonder Woman possess the strength to perform physical feats impossible for the human body.[10] These characters and their powers draw from earlier myths. Wonder Woman ostensibly descended from the Amazons, a group of women possessing superhuman strength.[11] In many of these fictional works, the dilemma and solution lies in the character's superhuman abilities. Having these powers alienates them from society but also aids them in their quest. Recurring adaptations of well-known characters are often employed, which continue to perpetuate the use of superhuman strength in fiction.

Showing results for tags 'tsw'.
Found 11 results
I work in Corporate America. I invest in real estate on the side. I am married with no kids. I am quite OCD, especially about organization. I have spent countless hours researching how other people use Evernote to 'remember everything' and 'get things done'. I have spent significantly more hours setting up this system than I have saved using this system. Hopefully that will change. Anyway, I wanted to share how I organize Evernote, which is really just The Secret Weapon (TSW) slightly tweaked for my personal needs. This system, in my opinion, limits decisions points (i.e., where should I put this note and how should it be tagged?), effectively tracks action items through to completion, and allows me to save and organize everything else. I will try to keep this explanation clear and concise; here it goes... Limited number of notebooks. I have four: !inbox - Everyone seems to have this one down. This is my default notebook where all notes start before being filed and tagged. Work and personal emails, webclips, random notes and ideas, etc. Case in point, I am writing this in a note that is currently in my !Inbox folder. Action Items (2) - This is a notebook stack for my notes that require action. There are two notebooks inside: Open and Complete. I'm sure you can guess what's in each. Cabinet - Essentially, this is a notebook for all notes that don't require action. I put meeting notes, receipts, webclips, etc. in this notebook. Contextual TaggingI only use tags for context. The tags answer where, when, and what. where - All notes get a where tag. This answers what part of my life the note pertains to (e.g., @work, @home) when - All Open Action Item notes get a when tag. This is how I prioritize notes requiring action. Each of these tags are mutually exclusive. Once the Open Action Item is completed, I remove the when tag and move the note to the Complete notebook. Below is a description of each when tag: what - I use this tag for notes that go in the Cabinet folder. It helps me quickly find things like receipts, meeting minutes, templates, webclips, etc. Not all notes in the Cabinet get a what tag, but many do. 1-now - get it done today / tomorrow 2-next - get it done this week 3-later - get it done within two to four weeks 4-someday - get it done someday 5-waiting - getting it done is dependent on action by someone else (e.g., you are waiting for someone to reply to your email) TSW recommends a who context as well, but for me that was spiraling out of control quickly, so I nixed it. If a note is associated with a certain person, I usually just try to make sure their name is included in the note itself. Here is a screenshot of my system: I hope this helps at least one person out there!
gtd The Secret Weapon - GTD
juniorgolf18 posted a topic in Evernote IntegrationsHas anyone implemented and used or using "the secret weapon" gtd system that has been discussed on here? I've been using other programs for tasks but would just rather use Evernote and looking at some options. I've looked at GatorBrit's method - Click Here but the Secret Weapon is pretty complete but maybe complicated system Thoughts?
Most folks who use David Allen's GTD (Getting Things Done) productivity system with Evernote have heard of The Secret Weapon by Braintoniq. David Allen and the good people over at GTD have their own setup guide (for $10) where they show you how to set up Evernote for use with GTD - GTD & Evernote For Windows. I have not purchased the GTD product, but I've seen many forum members here have. How does it work verses Braintoniq's The Secret Weapon? Is it worth the $10? I'd like to avoid redundancy here. I've set up Evernote using TSW technique with some tweaks of my own, but feel it could be better. Wondering if David Allen's guide is substantially different, offering a new or alternative approach, or if they're pretty much the same thing.
Hey all, I've been trying out Evernote as a platform for GTD via The Secret Weapon. I'm enjoying it greatly so far, however the mobile apps all lack the ability to sort notes by tag. Preferably, any view that displays notes would be able to sort them by tag in symbol, number, alpha order - both ascending and descending. This is a pivotal feature for TSW users and without it, I have to fumble through menus, and end up spending more time trying to review my notes than reviewing my notes. Thanks!
I downloaded EN today (to both my iMac and my iPhone) and spent a chunk of the afternoon setting up the structure of my EN notebooks and tags following the TSW-GTD approach. It quickly became apparent that what I was seeing on my screen did not align with what was shown on TSW. So, I upgraded to EN Plus thinking that the basic version was simply missing some of the features. No change, but I muddled on ... Then I forwarded a few emails to my EN, got them in the appropriate notebook and tried to start applying tags to get my notes into my TSW structure. Using an organized notebook and tag structure is not just a TSW approach - it's also one recommended by EN at https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209006097: But I discovered that I can't simply drag notes onto the appropriate tags - in fact, I can't even see my reusable tag structure when I'm looking at my notes. If I click on tags, I can see my reusable tag structure, but then I can't see my notes. I know I can open a note (tediously, one at a time) and "click to add tags," but (again) I can't see my reusable tag structure. I can't believe that it can be this difficult to follow EN's own advice to create a logical notebook structure & define a set of reusable tags. I've spent hours this afternoon and evening on EN's various help & learning pages trying to figure out how to resolve this issue, but to no avail. I make no claim to being a tech genius, but I can usually grasp new apps and programs quickly, without undue time referencing help, and quickly becoming productive. But, this evening, I confess to feeling like a right idiot. I'd be very grateful for any guidance. Thanks!
Ok so I am trying to keep everything together. Meaning, my to do list & notes ALL in EN. I like the idea of using and being familiar with ONE app and not 2, with regards to managing my businesses and personal life. So I am resisting omnifocus and todoist. VERY tempted to just accept these are better than evernote for task management and just use 2 apps. I do think though, in EN, there must be a simple way. I am trying to make TSW work, for those who are aware, with have a pending actions notebook. This is fine for me most the time, just using memory to link the 'tasks' with the bigger project. In GTD there is a big difference between a project and a next action, we cannot DO a project, we can DO a next action. Interested to know how you guys are setting up TSW regards to projects, ie, in GTD terminology, your 'Projects List'. The next actions part in TSW is simple. I get that. Just trying to figure the Projects List part. I even emailed TSW but had no response, they are probably busy or it is probably outlined clearly somewhere but I have missed it. One way I know is to tag each project with it's project name under a Nested Tag named 'Active Projects' but on an IOS device it's not easy to add new projects under a nested tag, so I was considering using a 'Business' stack and a 'Personal' stack and then make a new notebook for each Project with seprate notes as tasks with in that note. I'm just getting into searc syntaxes and kinda feel it's better to have less notebooks or stacks for these searches. I will not aim for perfection in this, and I know I cannot have everything exactly as I wish for it to be. And I know I could eventually figure my own solutions out. Your opinions on this though would be hugely interesting to read, that is, relating to setting up Projects & Next Actions. How you seperate them, link them etc etc etc. Kind Regards Daniel
I am an Apple user using Evernote to implement GTD/TSW. Why on EARTH do I not have the ability to sort notes by tags? It seems like a logical and simple capability for the iPhone app. Please work on that! ?
productivity EN Task Management - not sure how to make this work!
SahilC posted a topic in ProductivityHey EN Community! I'm a new user (just about a month), and I'm really loving Evernote for collecting and searching. I usually like to use program for everything, so I read about The Secret Weapon, GTD, and how to use evernote to manage tasks. The quick note collection is amazing. It's super quick to dump all my thoughts, and process later. However, the processing/task management part is getting to be exceedingly difficult for me. I started with the TSW methodology of tagging for .What .When .Where & .Who. This is my tagging structure: .When!Daily0-Ongoing1-Today2-Tomorrow3-This Week4-This Month5-Someday/Maybe.What:Project 1:Errands:Grocery:General:Meet:Online:College.Where@Place1@City@Home So there's a few problems I have with this How do I prioritize actions? Right now there's just a dump of tasks sitting there when I click 1-Today. Not sure how to use due dates here... (I don't want a reminder, just to be able to add due dates) And the biggest problem - using this on mobile. Android or iOS, it doesn't matter. It's difficult to switch between tags (you can't even sort by tags on the app), and just doesn't feel very efficient. Bottom line - the quick note taking part is AMAZING. But I seem to be spending a lot more time in administration that actually performing the tasks! (exaggeration, but you get my point) I'd really appreciate your input, and sorry for the long post!

Although I've had my Evernote acount for several years, I have never truly used it to its potential. Often I would flip back and forth between OneNote and Evernote to keep notes or information that I did not want to forget. I have also tried several to-do applications, trying to accomplish more that what I am putting down. Recently, I've decided to jump in and use Evernote for both my remembering and my to-do with the goal to go paperless. Ultimately it comes down to Evernote's ability to be access from all my devices. I know the basic functions of Evernote and the general ideas behind GTD. I've included The Secret Weapon (TSW) in the tags because I know nothing about it and could have benefits for my productivity system. I can't put my finger on it, but I've always struggled with getting a GTD system running. It may be that I haven't read the book or that in my case it just won't work. Coming back to Evernote, I wanted to set up a GTD system because I've always heard the benefits of that methodology. I purchased the Evernote GTD ebook by Daniel Gold which helped me understand much more of the GTD methodology and specifically how to apply that to Evernote. However, looking over Daniel's blog, I came across a very interesting article outlining the productivity system of Grumpy Monkey. Immediately his system made sense to me where GTD always seemed to allude my understanding. I was able to quickly implement his system without worrying where I had to be to do such a task or what project this task may fall under. Don't get me wrong, GTD has some wonderful ideas that I intend to use. For example, just do a task if it will take under two minutes. This alone lets me get so much more done. So here I am, trying to set up my personal productivity system. To learn more, I ask you, "What do you use?" Is it a self made system? GTD? TSW? Or some variation?
productivity Tagging reference items by AoR
Roue posted a topic in ProductivityThis question is from the perspective of setting up The Secret Weapon (.org) but is a valid question for all/most of the evernote + GTD implementations I have seen. I am mind-stuck at the point where you start your initial processing of the mass of stuff in Action Pending, after the big dump from OneNote and email. I want to tag my (cabinet/archive/reference) by Area of Responsibility, initially just Home and Office/work. Should I use @Home and @Work or keep those reserved for GTD flow and make new "Home" and "work" tags for archiving (cabinet)? There is the option of home and work notebooks but not using tags feels like taking a step backward.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a rapidly evolving situation. This section was last updated on August 14, 2020.
General information about Coronavirus/COVID-19
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the nation's health protection agency, defines Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China. Those who have tested positive for COVID-19 tend to experience mild to severe respiratory illness that can include fever, cough or shortness of breath. Individuals experiencing these symptoms should see their healthcare providers as early as possible for examination.
The CDC says the best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19. As the disease continues to spread, the CDC recommends following routine preventive measures that can help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including the coronavirus and flu, including:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Put distance between yourself and others if COVID-19 is spreading in your community, especially if you are at higher risk of getting very sick.
Stay home if you are sick and maintain appropriate social distance when and wherever possible.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Individuals with chronic health issues and/or individuals experiencing severe symptoms should be evaluated by a medical professional.
Can the disease spread through products or packaging sourced and shipped internationally or domestically?
According to the CDC, there is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures. Currently there is no evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with shipped or imported or goods. There have not been any cases of COVID-19 in the United States associated with imported goods. Petco is following CDC guidance. As news and information around COVID-19 continues to evolve, we're closely monitoring the situation and continuing to take proactive, precautionary steps to protect pets, pet parents and our own Petco partners.
Pets and Coronavirus/COVID-19
According to the CDC, there is currently no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. Public health experts are still learning about the virus, but it appears it can spread from people to animals in some situations. The CDC is aware of a zoo tiger testing positive for COVID-19, as well as a small number of pets in the United States – mostly after close contact with people with COVID-19.
The CDC recommends pet parents protect their pets the same way they protect human family members.
Do not let pets interact with people or other animals outside the household.
Keep cats indoors when possible to prevent them from interacting with other animals or people.
Walk dogs on a leash, maintaining at least six feet (two meters) from other people and animals.
Avoid dog parks or public places where a large number of people and dogs gather.
Restrict contact with pets and other animals if you're sick with COVID-19 (either suspected or confirmed by a test).
Wear a cloth face covering and wash your hands before and after interacting with your pet, if you must care for it while sick.
The CDC does not recommend routine testing for animals, and under no circumstances should pet parents take measures that may compromise their pets' welfare.
If you're sick with COVID-19 and your pet also becomes sick, call your veterinarian. If your pet tests positive for COVID-19, keep the pet in isolation in the home – away from everyone else, including other pets – until a veterinarian or public health official determines they can be around other pets and people.
Since animals can spread other diseases to people, the CDC always recommends washing your hands after being around animals. For more information, read the CDC's FAQ on COVID-19 and animals. You can also learn more about staying safe and healthy around animals including pets, livestock, and wildlife, by visiting the CDC's Healthy Pets, Healthy People website.
Ferrets are known to be at risk for catching certain coronaviruses, and some other viruses that can make people sick. Currently, there are no known cases of ferrets becoming sick or showing positive for COVID-19.
Pet parents should always include pets in their family's emergency preparedness planning and ensure they have enough food and product to care for pets as a general precaution for disaster preparedness.
Petco and Coronavirus/COVID-19
As news and information around Coronavirus/COVID-19 continues to evolve, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking proactive, precautionary steps to protect our partners, guests, the pets in our care and our overall business as it progresses.
The health and safety of pets and their families is always our top priority and we are following and reinforcing all guidance and resources available from the World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Here are some specific steps we are taking:
We're encouraging all Petco partners to follow appropriate preventative actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including staying home if they are feeling ill or believe they may be at risk, and maintaining appropriate social distance when and wherever possible.
In addition to our Petco partners' established sick time and paid time off, we're providing up to five days of pay specifically designed to further support those directly affected by COVID-19 – whether by a confirmed case, required or voluntary self-quarantine due to being high-risk, living with or caring for someone at high-risk, or because they feel ill or face related dependent care challenges.
To provide ongoing support to our Petco partners as they face the effects of COVID-19 – and in future times of need – we've launched the Petco Partner Assistance Fund, with $2 million from Petco and more from our sponsors at CVC Capital Partners, our board of directors, our Petco Pet Wellness Council, and our leadership team, including our CEO, Ron Coughlin.
We have awarded $15 million in special bonuses and additional PTO to our Petco partners in recognition of the courageous way they are serving pets and their families in these uncertain times.
All Petco stores are cleaned and sanitized daily as part of our normal business operations. In light of COVID-19, we're increasing the frequency and extent of those cleanings and taking proactive steps to ensure all Petco locations (including stores and our distribution and support centers) have ample hygiene and sanitation supplies available.
Based on guidance from the CDC and other public health experts, and to help protect the health and safety of our Petco partners, guests and the broader communities we serve, as of July 20, 2020, we respectfully require CDC-compliant facial coverings in all Petco stores nationwide.
Out of an abundance of caution, we've made 11.7 million disposable gloves and 4.4 million disposable facial coverings available to all Petco partners. Additionally, we have installed 4,500 register lane acrylic guards in Petco stores nationwide.
To help protect the health and safety of our employees and the broader communities we serve, we conduct health screenings for Petco employees, vendors and volunteer staff in all Petco locations. Upon arrival to our stores, their body temperature is evaluated using non-contact thermometers. If they have a fever, they're sent home to rest out of an abundance of caution.
We have made 14,000 gallons of hand sanitizer available to Petco partners and customers with dispenser stations located throughout our stores, including high-traffic areas such as checkout counters and grooming salons.
Using in-store signage, we're encouraging customers to help us keep our communities safe by maintaining at least six feet of distance from others, limiting the number of people per shopping trips when possible, and following other recommended precautions.
In addition to our physical store locations, we're ready to serve pet parents online through Petco.com and the Petco app, with Repeat Delivery; curbside pickup; same-day delivery and buy online, pickup in store options. In addition, we're reducing our threshold for free shipping on online orders.
We're restricting travel across the company, including vendor travel and visits to Petco locations, and cancelling attendance at large meetings and gatherings.
In our support centers (corporate offices) we're directing our partners to work from home if they can.
To provide ongoing support to our more than 27,000 employees (we call them partners) as they face the effects of COVID-19 – and in future times of need – we've launched the Petco Partner Assistance Fund. This employee relief fund received an initial $2 million investment from Petco, plus additional donations from the company's private equity sponsors at CVC Capital Partners, the Petco Pet Wellness Council – an independent coalition of leading experts in veterinary science and animal care – and personal donations from every member of Petco's Board of Directors and executive leadership team, including our CEO Ron Coughlin.
The Petco Partner Assistance Fund is administered by E4E Relief and open for donations. All contributions directly support Petco partners in need. Since the fund begun receiving applications on March 22, 2020, more than 1,200 Petco partners have benefitted from more than $1.2 million in grants.
This new fund is in addition to other measures we've taken to support our partners as we navigate COVID-19, including temporarily waiving our standard attendance policy and providing pay specifically designed to further support those directly affected by COVID-19. For more information on the Petco Partner Assistance Fund or to make a donation, visit petco.e4e.org.
Our team is working non-stop to meet the needs of pet parents during this rapidly evolving situation. In addition to our physical store locations, we're also ready to serve you in any of the following ways.
Through petco.com and the Petco app – with Repeat Delivery; curbside pickup; same-day delivery and buy online, pickup in store options available at most Petco stores.
By phone – call 833-893-0111 to place orders, and have pet food and other essentials delivered to your home.
Curbside pickup – the majority of our Petco locations now offer curbside pickup to provide pet parents who are self-isolating with peace of mind knowing their pets' essentials can be brought directly to their car.
Is Petco offering exclusive hours of service to pet parents at a higher risk of developing severe complications from COVID-19?
We're doing everything we can to take care of pets, pet parents, our own Petco partners and the broader communities we serve. Rest assured, we're open and continuing to provide essential products and services for pets counting on us in these uncertain times.
In Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Travis County in Texas and St. Louis County in Missouri, pet parents at a higher risk of developing severe complications from COVID-19, including seniors, are welcome to purchase their pets' essentials 8 – 9 a.m., each Tuesday, before our Petco stores open to the general public. In Michigan, this special service is being offered 8 – 9 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We're evaluating the implementation of this accommodation in additional communities, as necessary.
In addition to increasing the frequency and extent of daily store cleanings, we're continuing to provide the pets in our stores with appropriate care and habitat maintenance. As part of our industry-leading animal care standards, we have plans in place to protect and care for the pets in our stores in the event of emergencies or store closures, and the current COVID-19 situation is no exception. If any store needs to close, we will follow our emergency animal care protocol, including transferring animals to alternative safe locations if necessary.
The Petco Foundation is working with local animal welfare organizations to ensure each of their adoptable pets currently housed at Petco stores are being cared for appropriately.
We're proud to be the grocery store, pharmacy and doctor's office for many four-legged loved ones. We're open and continuing to serve the needs of pets and their families – including our in-store veterinary care, grooming and private dog training services – but we've taken the following proactive, precautionary steps to protect everyone in the broader Petco family.
In an effort to properly manage social gatherings, we're offering private dog training lessons in select Petco locations – book your appointment today! Based on guidance from the CDC and other public health experts, and to help protect the health and safety of our Petco partners, guests and the broader communities we serve, as of July 20, we respectfully require CDC-compliant facial coverings in all Petco stores nationwide.
Pet parents sheltering in place can continue reinforcing positive dog behaviors at home by attending Petco's online dog training courses led by Petco certified dog trainers live via Zoom – book a virtual class for you and your pet!
To do our part in protecting the communities we serve, our in-home dog training, in-store puppy play time and group dog training services are temporarily unavailable.
Petco in-store veterinary hospitals are continuing to provide full services including urgent care, vaccinations, microchipping, testing and other vital health services for pets. In addition to frequent cleaning and sanitizing throughout the hospitals, we're offering new services like pet exchange, drop-off and text notifications at select locations to help minimize personal contact. Ask about these options when you book an appointment. Check your location's updated hours of operation here

Vetco vaccination clinics are currently operating in select locations. To properly manage social gatherings, patients are welcomed by appointment only. Find a location near you to book your pet's appointment. Pet parents are being asked to conduct check-ins from their car via phone, to receive instructions on when to enter the clinic and where to wait. All waiting locations provide six feet of distance from the area where veterinary services are performed. Only the pet receiving services and one pet parent are being received per appointment – additional family members should remain home to help keep everyone safe. Rest assured, all Vetco vaccination clinic staff is being directed to wear face coverings and gloves, and constantly wash and sanitize their hands during shifts. Tables and tablets are also being routinely cleaned in all operating clinics.
To help our groomers and pet parents maintain a safe distance from each other, we've restructured our Petco grooming schedules. We ask that only the pet receiving services and one pet parent visit our check-in desk – additional family members should remain home to help keep everyone safe. Pet parents are being asked to maintain a safe distance between themselves and others by waiting outside of the salon if another pet is being checked in and, when possible, we're scheduling pick-up times to limit the number of pet parents waiting for their newly-groomed dogs. We're also holding 15 to 20-minute windows in between each grooming appointment to properly clean and disinfect the work area (counters, stations, and equipment) before welcoming the next pet.
To help us ensure Petco remained a safe place for everyone, in-store product returns were temporarily unavailable April 13 – May 31 due to COVID-19. As of June 1, 2020, we are resuming in-store product returns and honoring the original return period on your receipt without penalties related to the temporary suspension.
For your convenience and safety, you can also return products purchased online back to our fulfillment centers following the instructions at petco.com/returns.
As your partner in caring for the overall health and wellness of your pet, we're here for you – always. Due to a higher-than-normal volume of phone calls to our customer service line, hold times may be longer than usual. If you prefer, you can chat live with agents right here at petco.com.
In an effort to properly manage social gatherings, the Petco Foundation is working with adoption partner organizations in select communities to offer adoptions in Petco stores by appointment only. They are also working closely with our animal welfare partners to encourage and support pet adoption, as well as foster care approaches that limit human interaction. Pets currently in store adoption habitats will remain cared for and available for adoption.
As animal shelters brace for the long-term economic impacts of COVID-19, the Petco Foundation activated the Pledge to Save Pet Lives by distributing $1 million in product and cash donations, and putting out a national call to implore animal lovers to help save animal lives. This was distributed as a matching grant to double donations and help increase local shelters' ability to help pet parents in need. This commitment follows our Petco Foundation's recent distribution of more than $13 million to animal welfare organizations nationwide, including a donation along with Blue Buffalo and Royal Canin to regional food banks operated by the ASPCA to assist pet parents in need.
The Petco Foundation is in close communication with organizations across the nation to support emerging needs. They're also working closely with the animal shelter coronavirus collaborative group, which supports some of the largest shelters in the country by sharing information and bringing experts together to develop resources and recommendations. This includes a national effort to promote pet fostering to save lives.
COVID-19 is a real human health crisis. But it doesn't need to be a crisis for our animals, too. Animal shelters across the nation need our help as they're experiencing staffing shortages and a slowdown in adoptions. In some cases, they're even facing an influx of animals coming through their doors or shutdowns altogether. All it takes is a few of us stepping up to adopt or temporarily foster a pet in need through this crisis. Welcoming a shelter pet into your home can save a life. Find a local animal welfare organization near you: petcofoundation.org/shelter.
If you can't foster or adopt but want to help, make a donation to support shelters across the nation.
