What are the main things you’ve been doing to avoid COVID-19? Have you made any big changes in what you’re doing recently? If so, why?

In an attempt to avoid contracting COVID-19, my husband and I have more or less dropped all of our social activities and have remained at home since the end of March 2020 except for brief outings for groceries, drugstore items, library books and occasional home improvement materials. We have developed an appreciation for online shopping and are grateful for the delivery trucks that rumble down our road. We do not dine in-house at restaurants; instead, once a week, we order online or via cellphone and then pick up our selections. Throughout it all, we have always worn masks, used hand sanitizer liberally and washed our hands fanatically. Like other Americans, however, we sometimes suffer from coronavirus burnout and pandemic fatigue and are growing weary of following precautions. Thank goodness that the vaccines are now in distribution! We'll keep on hanging in there and look forward to rolling up our sleeves to receive doses of the vaccine
