Dear Dr. Hamblin,
I’m a senior who has spent considerable effort at staying out of harm’s way. My wife and I spent much of March through June at home, making quick shopping trips when needed. We are always masked when indoors in a public space, but we do get within six feet of others when grocery shopping or eating outdoors with a few friends.
