This Very Personal info I normally wouldn't share but to present what Proper Procedures are being done in some places....

they deeply encourage(d) vaxs, boosting, masking, distancing. They check up on people to see if they're doing any of this, etc. On current rare visits to their office they have all proper precautions, and will give you a mask if you arrive e out one. (I'm always masked 👍 )

nolabear I'm so sorry your sister got sick from some careless, selfish person! Horrible!
