This pandemic is not over, even though, happily the numbers of sick and deceased are declining. In all likelihood, fall will bring another wave of the COVID-19 virus. 
I only go out to purchase food, no restaurants see me. I go very early because there are fewer people and they are cautious like me and mostly wear masks. I have a mini panic attack if someone sans mask gets too near. 

In order to return to something near normal. We should continue wearing masks, until a vaccine is available and effective treatments are known. 

I appreciate Governor Northam’s leadership through this crisis because he kept so many of us safe.
