I'm taking an online course in contact tracing. We all should.

I'm learning a hell of a lot more about SARS CoV 2 and Covid 19 than I ever got from TV.

It would really be good if all seniors took it.
You can do it for free, or pay $49 and get a certificate and maybe a joib.

for those who have no interest in jumping back into a busy, full of people work place.
I read through some of the material and I think this could possibly be a flexible time part-time employment opportunity.
sounds great, really.

Very interesting. It's good to review what we already know about the virus as well as background information and prevention.

Thanks again for posting.
