Q: What’s the best COVID-19 vaccine?
In the Olympics, only one runner can win the race. Good thing it’s different with vaccines. It doesn’t matter if you get Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, or Moderna — you’ll have the COVID-19 finish line in sight.

What’s up with these new COVID-19 variants?
Mutations: Cool when they’re the X-men. Not so cool when they change amino acids within the SARS-CoV-2 virus causing COVID-19 variants. And how dangerous are the variants anyway? Are we talking Magneto level dangerous, or are they more like Mastermind?

New variants of the virus are here; do I need a better mask?
Crafty COVID-19 is upping its game, should I put on two masks to do the same?

Share a ride, not the virus
Taking a taxi? Hopping in a friend’s backseat? Don’t take COVID-19 on a joy ride.

Can someone who has recovered from COVID-19 still spread it to others?
Your daughter just called to invite you to a holiday get-together. She says it’s safe because everyone who will be there has already had COVID-19. Should you bring a cheeseball or take a rain check?

Shorter quarantine periods now an option for some individuals
Confused about the CDC’s new options for shorter quarantine periods after exposure to COVID-19? Why the change? How does it work? And which option would apply to me?

Are there “COVID cooties” on my gloves?
Nana worked so hard on these crocheted mittens! Do I need to boil them to keep the COVID-19 particles away? And just how dangerous are contaminated surfaces?

Don’t let down your guard. Or your mask!
Beth, Chris, and Nicole: They’re not just your best lunch buddies, they’re also lean mean aerosol machines. So if you want to avoid COVID-19, you’re gonna want to eat your submarine sandwich solo, or make that takeout order for one.

Is COVID-19 testing the key to a safe Thanksgiving?
Your mom just called. Aunt Martha insists on hosting Turkey day this year. She says it’ll be safe — everyone just needs to get a COVID-19 test before the feast. So, as long as everybody has a negative test it’s fine, right? The biggest danger is Uncle Walt’s deep-fried turkey exploding… right?
