However if you want to cough up the bucks your md can test though Quest and other places.. I don't think it makes any difference any more. Invite no one into home, I clean doors and door knobs and bathroom stuff daily. I only go to Harps food stores and use their wipes. Just normal stuff I do every flu season. I like the 6ft rule. I wipe down the credit card reader before and after. Wipe down the packages that the food and stuff will be staying in with the Clorox wipes.

The only thing I really dread is my April 1 appointment with my cardiologist in Little Rock.
