    I took many notes during this video. Dr. Dhar is very knowledgeable. I particularly liked her suggestion to get your info re COVID from just 2 trusted sources. I got so overwhelmed early on that I limit myself to 1 hour of broadcast news daily. The Seattle Times is an excellent source that doesn’t stress me out. Their comics pages provide a much needed chuckle too. Thank you.
