The B&B Story
Like many of you, we have been making things (lots of things) at home. One of the things that we have been paying extra attention is health, especially for our older parents, in light of Covid-19. While there is no treatment for coronavirus at the moment, we want to know everything we can possibly do to avoid getting ill in addition to social distancing and hand washing. We believe the best strategy is to avoid if at all possible. The next best thing is to be prepared. While we did research on coronavirus, we came across a number of things that might be helpful.
