Protect Yourself & Others; The CDC’s Guidelines for a Proper Mask

April 23, 2020 | 2:06PM

Your cloth face covering should:

✔️ Reach above the nose, below the chin, and completely cover the mouth and nostrils

✔️ Fit snugly against the sides of the face

✔️ Be made of multiple layers of fabric that you can still breathe through

✔️ Be able to be laundered and machine dried without damaging the material or shape

Do not buy surgical masks to use as a face covering. Those are intended for healthcare workers and first responders. Many items you may already have in your home can be used to create face coverings.

Try creating a cloth face covering using bandanas, ski masks, washable napkins, or dish towels.

Fresh Air During Quarantine

April 16, 2020 | 1:27PM

As the daylight hours grow longer and our days sheltering in home to beat COVID-19 continue, we put together this list of things to do outside, bearing in mind to take proper social distancing precautions! The fresh air may do you some good.

We know that our area is full of beautiful outdoor opportunities and scenic drives. This list certainly isn’t intended to capture an exhaustive list. We’d love to hear what your favorite spots are to get some fresh air and exercise.

Savannah River Scenic Byway Take a drive along a portion of the Savannah River Scenic Byway. While the entire route spans 2700 miles of shoreline along lakes Hartwell, Russell, and Thurmond, pick a section, roll down the windows and cruise.

Parson’s Mountain Recreational Area, Sumter National Forest Enjoy boating, paddling, fishing and picnicking at the lake, as well as biking, hiking, and birdwatching. Check out the lookout tower and a 4-mile loop trail, perfect for hiking and biking.

Long Cane Horse Trail Not just for horses, this hiking and biking trail is a 26.7-mile loop through woods, over creeks and the original Charleston Road built in 1825.

Cambridge Gateway Trail This trail is nearly one-mile long between the American Legion building and Greenwood Country Club. It is open to walkers and bikers. Visit the South Carolina trails website to find other trails.

Heritage Trail This 2.7-mile paved trail begins in downtown Greenwood on Main Street and ends near Florida Avenue. It is open to walkers and bikers.

Savannah Valley Railroad Trail This trail is offers nearly 10 miles of hiking and biking, located northwest of McCormick.

State Parks – currently closed until April 30 While state parks are currently closed until April 30, please check the South Carolina State Parks website for future opening dates and make a plan to enjoy the fresh air at these three state parks:

Ways to Support Local Businesses

April 14, 2020 | 2:49PM

Many businesses are having to change how they operate. From those businesses that rely heavily on foot traffic, moving to a curbside service or online platform is daunting. We have the opportunity to support these local companies with our business. The blessings of doing so will provide some great purchases for you and ensure that these local companies have a fair shot of returning to normal. 

Here are few ways you can contribute to the local economy and come across some golden finds!

  1. Check websites and social media pages for details on what your favorite places are doing, including hours and any special instructions. For example, some businesses have closed their inside areas but are offering curbside service, delivery or drive-thru – and that’s not just for restaurants. For restaurants, check online for a menu and consider placing your order by phone to save on wait times for carryout.
  2. Check to see if your favorite businesses that don’t offer a “to go” service are offering an online option. Many therapists, tutors, yoga, personal trainers, financial planners and others are offering online consulting. Some art and music instructors are offering online classes too.
  3. Consider if you can buy locally before ordering online from outside the community. If a favorite shop does not have a robust online ordering, reach out to them by phone or message to see if they are able to provide your favorites. Many businesses were unprepared for a no-foot-traffic environment and left scrambling to react.
  4. Sign up for a CSA (community supported agriculture) or reach out to local farms that normally would sell their produce at the farmers markets. Those farms may be able to deliver or provide a carryout option for fresh local produce. It is strawberry season….
  5. Like coffee or tea? Consider purchasing coffee beans from your local coffee shop as a way to get your caffeine fix. They will probably grind them up fresh and ship them to you if you call and ask. Main Street Coffee Company is offering delivery (within 5 miles) and curbside pickup of whole bean or ground House, Espresso, Decaf, Kenyan and Honduran.
  6. For waitstaff who depend on tips for a good portion of their wages, consider a larger tip for curbside service or delivery, if you are able.
  7. For businesses that are not able to provide their services today, such as hair salons, barber shops, nail salons, etc, consider purchasing a gift card for later use. They can use those funds now to keep afloat and be ready to serve you when we are back to “normal.”
  8. Spread the word. Share with your friends and neighbors about what is available from local businesses.  Leave a great review about a local business. Share on social media about that great meal or that beautiful flower arrangement you picked up curbside.
  9. Visit local chamber and city websites for news on local businesses. For example, the City of Abbeville put together this list of hours and status of many businesses.

Stay Ready, Even Indoors

April 9, 2020 | 10:52AM

Many of us are spending more time than normal on our screens, whether we are working from home, homeschooling our children, or binge-watching our favorite shows to help pass the time indoors. While COVID-19 has many of us staying home to help save lives, unfortunately it’s not only outdoors that we need to take care.

Scammers and hackers are taking this opportunity—while the country is vulnerable—to launch new phishing and malware attacks. Phishing is when people try to get you to give them sensitive information, like social security numbers, credit card numbers, and so on. Malware is a program that can get into your computer and damage files, delete them, or give your computer a virus. Here are some things you can do to stay vigilant while you’re on your computer more than usual:

  1. Don’t open that attachment or click that link. If you don’t recognize the person who sent the email, don’t click on an attachment or link. Even if you do recognize the sender, if there is no personal information in the email, don’t click. You might receive an email that says “Look at this” along with a link or an attachment. Only open attachments or click on links if they are clearly from someone you know. If you’re unsure, call the person to verify.
  2. Watch out for pop-ups. If a pop-up appears on your computer or phone that sounds too good to be true, it is. Pop-ups promising that you have won something or saying there’s a problem on your computer should be treated with skepticism.
  3. Don’t fall for a scam. There is no prince in Nigeria who will give you seven million dollars. If you receive a message from a loved one who says they have been kidnapped and need money immediately, take a deep breath and call the person to check before you do anything else. Never give out personal information—bank account or credit card information, social security number, etc.—unless you are certain it is going to the right place.
  4. Use a strong password. Just about every safety checklist starts with this simple tip. When you create a password, make sure it is nearly impossible to guess. Do that by creating a long password (8 or more characters) that includes both uppercase and lowercase letters, at least one number, and at least one special character (like ! or @ or $ or %).
  5. Double check the address. If you get to a website asking you to download something or input information, check the web address to be sure. If you see a trusted website, like amazon.com, then you’re okay. But if you see something like amazon.134870xkajg.com, that’s a scam. The word or phrase next to the “.com” is the real owner of the site, so smile.amazon.com is really Amazon but the previous example (amazon.134870xkajg.com) is not. This advice applies to email addresses, too.A common email scam is an email that appears to be from a coworker saying, “Can you please open this attachment and print it for me?” Your coworker’s name may be there, but the email address will be wrong.

Unfortunately, some people are taking this vulnerable time to exploit people. Stay vigilant and you’ll be fine. If you have questions about something you think may be a scam, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Connected, Even at Home

April 1, 2020 | 1:52PM

As the world faces COVID-19 and we, as a nation and a community, work together to prevent its spread, the federal and state government as well as the CDC recommend staying at home if at all possible. Thank you for your commitment to helping us all stay healthy. Here is WCTEL’s guide to staying connected at home.

Working from home

If you have a job that allows you to work from home, you’re probably already working there. Here are some best practices for working from home:

  1. Work in a space separate from the rest of your house. To concentrate on work, you need a space to work that is set apart from the normal bustle of home life. While family members, pets, TV, and other people and things are a part of your day-to-day life, they will probably make it harder to get work done. Ideally, your home office has a door that shuts—maybe even locks.
  2. Use a high-speed internet connection. As a WCTEL customer, that won’t be a problem. If you’re working wirelessly, don’t forget these wireless router tips:
    1. Place the router away from metal, thick walls, or major appliances
    2. Put the router the main floor of your house
    3. Make sure your router is able to handle high speeds
  3. Take breaks. At home, you may be sitting for longer periods that you normally would at work. Get up, take a walk, spend a few minutes with your family. Especially during this uncertain time, maintaining connection and taking time for your emotional health is vital.

Learning from home

If you have children and who are at home right now, there are many ways they can continue to learn online—no matter their age. Here are some helpful resources for helping kids learn at home:

  1. For younger children:
    1. Each day since COVID-19 shut schools across the country, children’s author Mo Willems has held a short (about 20 minutes) drawing class live on YouTube. You can connect to it here: https://www.kennedy-center.org/education/mo-willems/
    2. BrainPop offers all kinds of educational programs for small children. Visit them at https://jr.brainpop.com
    3. NASA has all kinds of online activities for kids in the NASA Kids Club: https://www.nasa.gov/kidsclub/index.html
  2. For older kids and teenagers:
    1. If your child studies a foreign language in school, they can keep their skills up on DuoLingo, which offers free language instruction in dozens of languages: https://www.duolingo.com
    2. Your child may want to keep a journal of their time at home. They can practice better writing skills by using Grammarly’s free writing help: https://www.grammarly.com
    3. Let your kids explore TED Talks (https://www.ted.com/talks) or take a course on Lynda (https://www.lynda.com) to learn more about a topic they’re already interested in.

Playing from home

Your internet connection puts a world of entertainment options at your fingertips, even when you’re stuck inside. Many services are streaming movies that would normally be in theaters right now. Others are offering discounts or free service for people who have lost their jobs. This is the time to make sure you have a streaming service to help you stay sane. Here are some of the most popular:

  1. Netflix. The first is still one of the most popular. Netflix provides movies and TV series to stream, with content varying over time. Netflix is also known for its original content, including popular shows like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Stranger Things. Netflix costs between $8.99-$15.99 per month.
  2. Hulu. Hulu focuses on the latest broadcast television episodes, as well as their own original content. Hulu costs between $5.99-$12.99 per month. Hulu also offers a service that lets you stream about 60 channels of live TV, and costs $54.99 per month.
  3. YouTube TV. As long as we’re talking about live TV… YouTube offers one of the most comprehensive streaming services for live television. It offers more than 70 channels of content, including local channels that vary depending on your location. YouTube TV costs $49.99 per month.
  4. Sling TV. Sling TV is another offering that lets you watch live TV. Sling has two separate packages—Sling Orange (30+ channels, $20) and Sling Blue (45+ channels, $30)—with different channel lineups.
  5. Amazon Prime Video. Like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video offers movies and TV shows, as well as some original content. The service comes free for users who already have Amazon Prime, or $8.99 per month if you just want the video service.

Most of us have more time at home right now than we expected. Whether you’re working at home, learning at home, playing at home, or some combination of the three, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Creative Ways to use the Internet to Connect

March 31, 2020 | 2:40PM

Behind it all, there’s the internet

Before COVID-19 hit so close to home, the internet generally seemed like a handy tool. Depending on your job or interests, the world wide web might not have been something you gave any thought to. The internet was just there.

Now, as we practice social distancing, that “handy tool” may be becoming a central part of our lives. While it certainly cannot replace good old-fashioned conversations at the neighborhood bakery or hands-on learning in the classroom, it does have the ability to keep us connected in many ways. And let’s face it, generally, we are social beings. The internet provides that outlet.

Here’s a handful of creative ways people are using their internet connection to connect:

We want to make sure you are having the best experience with your internet. Feel free to give us a call to troubleshoot issues you may be having with WiFi or to increase your bandwidth as your needs grow during this time. We’re in it together.

CDC on Coronavirus & Travel in the United States

March 24, 2020 | 9:16AM

Should I travel within the US?

CDC does not generally issue advisories or restrictions for travel within the United States. However, cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been reported in many states, and some areas are experiencing community spread of the disease. Crowded travel settings, like airports, may increase chances of getting COVID-19, if there are other travelers with coronavirus infection. There are several things you should consider when deciding whether it is safe for you to travel.

Things to consider before travel:

Depending on your unique circumstances, you may choose to delay or cancel your plans. If you do decide to travel, be sure to take steps to help prevent getting and spreading COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases during travel. For the most up-to-date COVID-19 travel information, visit CDC COVID-19 Travel page.

A Guide to Web Conferencing from Your Home Office

March 19, 2020 | 1:28PM

Has COVID-19 forced your office to go remote? Video conferencing is a great tool for staying connected, but planning your first online meeting can be pretty overwhelming. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

In addition to fast, reliable internet from WCTEL, here are a few tips to help you plan successful web conferences.

Pick the Right Program

For smaller, in-house team meetings, you can test the video conferencing waters for free with platforms like join.me, CyberLink U, and Skype’s group video chat. When big pitches or high-stakes meetings are on the line, it may be worth investing in paid software instead. Topping the list of PC Magazine’s Best Video Conferencing Software are ClickMeeting, Zoom, and Webex. (Pro Tip: Even the paid software platforms often have free plans with limited capabilities, so compare the options to find the best one for your needs and budget.)

Get Good Video Conferencing Equipment

Your laptop’s built-in webcam might work, but you should consider using a camera with a resolution of 1080p and speed from 30 to 60 frames per second. Business Insider’s top choice is the Logitech C920. It’s an Amazon bestseller that you can purchase for $79.99. If you’re interested in ultra HD, Business Insider also recommends the Logitech Brio 4K. Even though it’s a bit pricey—offered at $199.00—you’ll see why people love Brio’s stunning 60-frames-per-second image quality.

Because audio is also important and you certainly don’t want any awkward “Can you hear me now?” moments, you’ll probably want to invest in a noise-canceling headset that delivers clear sound. Windows Central recommends the Plantronics Voyager, a wireless headset that’s compatible across PCs and mobile devices.

Stick to Your Routine

If you have a routine before getting to the office, stick to it. While the jammies are comfortable, it may help your mindset to get ready for the day in your usual way by looking and feeling a little more professional — even if that means just upgrading from pajamas to sweatpants or jeans to take on the day.

Be Mindful of Your Filming Area

Pay attention to lights, camera, and action. Unless you wish to appear as a spooky silhouette, follow these final tips:

  1. Position yourself in front of a light source with no illumination at your back.
  2. Natural light is best, but a lamp will do.
  3. Clear clutter from the background and look at the camera lens to convey eye contact.
  4. Keep body movements to a minimum.

Don’t Forget to Move

Set alarms to take 10 to 15 minutes to move, stretch, get fresh air and disconnect from tech. It’s easy to get caught up in work and remain stagnant all day.

Be Kind to Your Back

Don’t spend hours on your couch, recliner or bed. While it may be comfy, over the course of a day it can do damage to your spine and cause lower back pain. Use an office chair if you can, but any chair with a firm back is OK.

Make Sure Calls are Forwarded to Your Home or Cellphone

Make sure you aren’t missing anything by taking advantage of call forwarding!

Check Your Internet Package

Of course, all of your carefully-made web conferencing plans will be for nothing if your internet can’t power the technologies you need to make them happen.

Call WCTEL, at 864-446-2111, today to ensure your connection offers the strength and bandwidth you need to work and video conference from home without interruption.

These Free Apps Will Get Your Kids Moving

March 17, 2020 | 6:00PM

Are your kids falling prey to coronavirus cabin fever? We’re here to share four free apps (available for both iOS & Android) that can make at-home fitness fun and keep your family active in the weeks ahead.

1. Sworkit Kids

With customizable workouts for strength, agility, and flexibility, this app generates random exercises to get kids moving as they follow along with video tutorials. If your kids’ enthusiasm has you feeling inspired, join in the fun and download the original Sworkit fitness app, designed for teens and adults!

2. NFL PLAY 60

The American Heart Association and National Football League are on a mission to get your kids moving for 60 minutes or more every day, and this app is a great place to start. It features virtual experience challenges to get hearts pumping. Plus, users receive extra points for fun activities like going on a family walk or riding their bike. They can then use those points to unlock NFL gear and customize their in-app avatar—a great incentive to keep kids engaged and active.

3. Just Dance Now

Maybe you’ve seen the popular Just Dance game in arcades. Now, your kids can play it anytime and without a video game console. All you need is a smartphone and internet-connected screen to follow along with the choreography and dance to tons of popular music. Just be aware: Although the app is free, the number of free songs is limited, so your kids may ask to make some in-app purchases to keep the party going.

4. Zombies, Run!

This next app is sure to be a hit with your older, zombie-loving kids and teens. Just pop in your headphones to turn any run (or walk) into an epic storytelling adventure and race to escape the living dead breathing down your neck. Encourage your kid to run for fun or even set a goal to participate in their first 5K! If you’re worried about your children running with headphones, consider taking them to a local track where you can watch or even join in to make memories as you sweat.

These apps are a great way to get your kids moving, but without high-speed internet, you may find downloading them is more of an exercise in frustration. Call WCTEL today to make sure you have the reliable connection you need to power your family throughout this coronavirus crisis and beyond.
