2. I got my booster last week, and I now wear a mask wherever I'm shopping.

I’m looking at Covid as something we’ll have with us for a long time, and if I need an annual (or more frequent) booster shot, that’s what I’ll get. I’ve been very lucky to not get Covid, but I’ve noticed that I’ve also not had a cold for the past few years and I used to have at least one every winter. My routine is to wear a mask when out in public and wash my hands thoroughly with soap and fairly hot water as soon as I get home. I haven’t been using the disinfectant gel because it’s pretty rough on the skin, especially in winter. So far, so good.
