Healthy. Thats a challenging goal during a pandemic. The coronavirus keeps coming back threatening to beworse than before. California is approaching a million diagnosed cases total and the new cases are rising once again as you can see on the graph.

Great question. I ask myself that constantly. Why did we get into this every day i was working on it . Basically two things.
