I'm taking an online course in contact tracing. We all should.

I'm learning a hell of a lot more about SARS CoV 2 and Covid 19 than I ever got from TV.

It would really be good if all seniors took it.
You can do it for free, or pay $49 and get a certificate and maybe a joib.

for those who have no interest in jumping back into a busy, full of people work place.
I read through some of the material and I think this could possibly be a flexible time part-time employment opportunity.
sounds great, really.

Or city, if you live in a big city.
Or heck, state.
Go for it.

Very interesting. It's good to review what we already know about the virus as well as background information and prevention.

Thanks again for posting.
