I have groceries delivered. Wear a mask to walk my little dog (7 lbs) and take out trash.

If I have a doctor's appointment I wear a double mask and keep using antiseptic wipes and gel. Come home and put clothes in a bag and wash in 48 hours.
Wash hands and hair.

This is my plan for Dec/ Jan/ Feb. They say those are going to be dark dark months. With a huge number of deaths.

I hope by then, vaccinations will be available for those over 65.
