I know what I need to do keep myself as safe and Covid free as possible because I love not getting sick, even from a cold!

We ask our kids to test before coming to visit us from out of town (and we test also - and we all test before visiting with my mom, who is 94 and lives in Florida. She is pretty careful but still has an active social life and fortunately has also remained covid free.
