The idiom “waste not, want not” can be interpreted as if you use something wisely or completely, then you will be less likely to find yourself in need of anything. There are many theories as to the origin of this phrase, but some believe it has been around since the late 1700s. I was accustomed to hearing this idiom from my parents and grandparents. My parents were born during the depression and my grandparents lived through these hard times. My maternal grandma truly wasted nothing and she taught me how to get the most out of just about everything. So, you might wonder why I am writing about waste and want? Well, I learned something new about SARS-CoV-2 this week that has me intrigued.

SCAM ALERT
Over the past few weeks we have had several individuals report being the victims of scams that are being done via telephone calls. Most of these scams are targeting the elderly population. If you receive a phone call or email from a company (even reputable one's such as Publishers Clearinghouse) and they ask for money to claim a prize, or ask to send you a check and have you cash it and send money or gift cards back to them, HANG UP IMMEDIATELY. No legit company will ask you to send money to claim a prize, or send you a check and have you send something back to claim a prize. If ANYONE asks you to purchase gift cards and send them somewhere IT IS A SCAM!
