COVID-19
COVID-19We know that the Coronavirus/COVID-19 is a global issue and want to send our best wishes for the safety of you, your family, friends and neighbors. This is a very trying time for everyone. The State of Ohio has issued a "Stay Safe Ohioat" order so we understand the aggravation of this pandemic. However, maybe it's a great time to become an active part of our families. Games, talks, walks ... just family time reinvented. I believe we all get caught up in the daily rush of life and forget to slow down and enjoy what's right in front of us. Our families.
We are currently open and accepting orders during this time. We will ship as quickly as possible but are already experiencing delays. We are a small family run business, not a manufacturing facility. Some of our supplies are unavailable at this time which also makes it difficult to make your product. Some suppliers are just getting back to work, others still out.

- Fever
- Cough
- Shortness of Breath
- Sore Throat
- Runny Nose and Sneezing

Prevention
The World Health Organization (WHO) advises the following prevention methods.
Wash Hands Frequently. Scrub hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds for visibly dirty hands or an alcohol-based hand rub frequently for non-visibly dirty hands.
Practice Respiratory Hygiene
When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue - discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
Maintain Social Distancing
Maintain at least 3 feet distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing, and have a fever. If you are too close, you can breathe in the virus.
Avoid Touching Eyes, Nose & Mouth
Hands touch many surfaces that can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with your contaminated hands, you can transfer the virus to yourself.
Seek Medical Care Early
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early and tell your healthcare provider if you have traveled to an area where the virus has been severely impacted, or if you have been in close contact with someone who has respiratory symptoms.
Mild Symptoms
If you have mild respiratory symptoms and no travel to hard-hit areas, still seek medical care and be sure to carefully practice basic respiratory and hand hygiene and stay home until you are recovered.
Tests & Treatment
To date (03-14-2020), there is no vaccine and no specific antiviral medicine to prevent or treat COVID-19. However those affected should receive care to relieve symptoms. People with serious illness should be hospitalized. Most patients recover thanks to supportive care.
Possible vaccines and some specific drug treatments are under investigation. They are being tested through clinical trials. WHO is coordinating efforts to develop vaccines and medicines to prevent and treat COVID-19.
The most effective ways to protect yourself and others against COVID-19 are to frequently clean your hands, cover your cough with the bend of elbow or tissue, and maintain a distance of at least 3 feet from people who are coughing or sneezing.
