  1. Thanks for pushing for mandatory mask wearing. This week was the first time I have not felt like a trip to the grocery store was a suicide run.

    1. D.M.
      Living your life in fear is no way to live. I have been making in person sales calls, visiting the grocery, go to restaurants, etc… since the stay at home was lifted. I wash my hands, sanitize them after touching public handles and wear a mask. Be smart, not afraid.

  2. Thank you, Dr. Caine, as always, for your measured and honest replies. I so appreciate hearing not just about your data-driven decisions, but your opinion as well. It’s so difficult to know who/what to believe anymore, so thanks for keeping it REAL.
