Coronavirus: Safety Tips For You!

The American Red Cross continues to closely monitor the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and follow the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

We understand this is a stressful time and people want to know what they can do now to protect themselves and their families. Below are some everyday steps that people in the U.S. can take now. In addition, stay informed about what’s happening in your community and always follow the directions of state and local authorities.

WEAR A CLOTH FACE COVER

The CDC now advises everyone to wear a cloth face cover when going out in public, such as going to the grocery store or to pick up other necessities.

  • The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected. You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
  • Do NOT use a facemask meant for a health care worker.
  • In addition, do NOT place cloth face coverings on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
  • Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.
  • For more information, see CDC guidelines, including how to create your own cloth face cover.


HELP SLOW THE SPREAD OF COVID-19

Follow these steps to help keep you and others safe:

  • Stay home if you can and avoid any non-essential travel. Avoid social gatherings of more than 10 people.
  • Practice social distancing by keeping at least 6 feet — about two arm lengths — away from others if you must go out in public. Stay connected with loved ones through video and phone calls, texts and social media. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Clean and disinfect household surfaces daily and high-touch surfaces frequently throughout the day. High-touch surfaces include phones, remote controls, counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, keyboards, tablets and bedside tables. Follow CDC guidance.
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth, and throw used tissues in a lined trash can. If a tissue isn’t available, cough or sneeze into your elbow — not your hands. Wash your hands immediately.


WHO IS AT A HIGHER RISK?

According to the CDC, early information shows that some people are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19. This includes older adults and people of any age who:

  • Have serious underlying medical conditions, such as heart, lung or liver disease; diabetes; moderate to severe asthma; severe obesity; and renal failure.
  • Have a weakened immune system, including those undergoing cancer treatment.


People who are pregnant
 should also be monitored since they are known to be at risk with severe viral illness; however, to date data on COVID-19 has not shown increased risk.

If you are at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19, it is critical for you to take actions to avoid getting sick.

  • Stay home, avoid close contact with others and follow the other steps above.
  • Call your health care provider if you have concerns or to ask about obtaining extra necessary medications in case you need to stay home for a prolonged period of time.
  • Call a medical professional as soon as COVID-19 symptoms start, if you are at higher risk.


IF YOU ARE SICK

According to the CDC, COVID-19 symptoms include fever, shortness of breath and a cough. Keep track of your symptoms, which may appear two to 14 days after exposure, and call to seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen, such as difficulty breathing.

Mild Illness
Most people have mild illness and are able to recover at home. If you think you are sick:

  • Stay home and call your doctor for medical advice if you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop symptoms. Older adults and people of any age with serious underlying medical conditions should call a health care provider as soon as symptoms start.
  • Separate yourself from other people in your home. On your own, clean and disinfect all surfaces daily and high-touch surfaces frequently throughout the day in your sick room and designated bathroom. Have a healthy household member do the same for surfaces in other parts of the home.
  • Wear a cloth face cover if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a health care provider’s office. See CDC guidelines.


Emergency Warning Signs

If your symptoms become severe, call to get medical attention immediately. Warning signs include:

  • Trouble breathing
  • Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
  • New confusion or inability to arouse
  • Bluish lips or face


This list is not all inclusive. Consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning. Review CDC guidance for more information.

FINDING UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION

Visit redcross.org/coronavirus for more information on COVID-19 safety. For the latest information, please visit the CDC website at cdc.gov/covid19.

If you live outside the United States, health and safety tips can be found from the World Health Organization and by following your local Red Cross or Red Crescent society’s social media channels (directory).

#CKM🎞 Events: Oct. 2019

Peace to all my Hip Hop Heads, Purists & Culture Keepers alike!

Welcome to the new home for all things Media/Vlog/Blog related for My Brother’s Keeper Enterprises entitled, “Culture Keepers Media” or “CKM” for short.

CKM will showcase a variety of aspects within Hip Hop Culture, for the viewer or listener, seeking to educate them on the Four Elements of Hip Hop. A Fifth Element can easily be argued as “Knowledge”, but with respects to that it’s considered common applied knowledge. We’ve taken the first step in this process by identifying some of the natural resources we have directly around us for presentation.

In October 2019 we had the pleasure of being present for a Bi-Monthly “Open Aux” event for musical producers called “Last of the Record Buyers.” This event was showcased at a venue called Honey, on the North East Side of Minneapolis, Mn.

Another was K.Raydio & Friends, hosted at Honey as well. Self titled, the event is a showcase of artists THAT K.Raydio herself enjoys playing and creating music WITH. We had the pleasure of interviewing Juice Lord for our #CKMConcertSeries🎤 and recorded some audio from each artist’s “Live” performance.

Finalizing the month we were in attendance for the #RetropolitianTour, featuring Skyzoo & Elzhi. This was hosted at the Amsterdam Bar & Hall, Downtown Saint Paul, Mn. Great footage of both performances as well as photos.

More details and completed presentations on the way! For now, check us out on Twitter & Instagram. Follow us and stay connected.

Sincerely,

DisputeOne

Owner/Operator

6th Annual Twin Cities Dilla Day Weekend (Day Two)

A community celebration of the music and legacy of J Dilla’s masterful production style. Bringing it back to the block in the heart of the city.

From 2:00 – 10:00PM, DJs, dancers, aerosol artists, MCs, and all lovers of hip hop culture will be able to bathe in hip hop in a welcoming, deeply rooted space. All ages, FREE EVENT. Open air, under a canopy of trees and sunshine. Featuring showcase beat sets by Soundset-featured producers, Dilla-focused DJ sets, a dancefloor open to all, MC performances, community vendors, live aerosol art, spoken word, and group drumming. Featuring Niles, T La Shawn, Mic Dos, DJ Mickey Breeze, DJ Scipreme, Orko Eloheim, Mida, Elan Brio…and maybe a surprise guest or two! Spontaneous hip hop among the people, for the people, as it began over 45 years ago.

Lounge space and art exhibition upstairs, with it getting down and dirty in the basement. An intimate venue, recreating the feel of early Slum Village (Dilla’s first group) and paying tribute to Dilla’s work ethic, where he’d spend days holed up in his basement recording studio just pumping out new creations like the man on a mission he was. DJs, spoken word, MC cyphers, and drumming will fill the room. Featuring Se’Anna, Truth Maze, One Plus One (Dispute One & Orikal Uno), & St. Paul Slim. Refreshments available.

Vibe Essential Music Review: Rampage “We Out”

To Mumble or Not?!

By Signifyin’

When the discussion of “Golden Era” Hip Hop arises, many will debate who’s the greatest of all time (G.O.A.T.), while others zone in on the key elements that define the meaning in the phrase. Several artists can be mentioned, but when it comes to overall consistency mixed with passion for the culture and craft, Rampage the Last Boy Scout is an automatic pick. From the active days of the Flip Mode Squad (Busta Rhymes, Spliff Star, Rah Digga, Lord Have Mercy, just to name some) he has been an intricate brick in the foundation as well as showcased his importance in Hip Hop with electrifying “Live” performances and solid lyrical displays on multiple projects.

Back to show that “Mumble Rap” has no place in Hip Hop culture is the latest single from Rampage over production from Blackwater. A new wave take on 1993’s Digable Planets “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)” release. This track is infectious to the ear with a heavy Jazz Bass Line accompanied by Jazzy Horns over the bridge. Rampage does a great job filling in the track with catchy lines and solidifies his message throughout the hook. To put it simple and plain, “You on that Mumble Rap? We Out!”
