September is Healthy Aging Month but doing things to promote healthy aging is important all the time.
Here's a tip: Walk like a vibrant, healthy person. Come on. You can probably do it. Analyze your gait. Do you walk slowly because you have just become lazy or, perhaps, have a fear of falling?
Make a conscious effort to take big strides, walk with your heel first, and wear comfortable shoes.

"How can diagnostic and antibody testing help reduce the spread of COVID-19?
With COVID-19 diagnostic testing, people who test positive and have symptoms can get care earlier. Contacts can be traced and self-isolation or quarantine started sooner to help stop the spread of the virus.
Results of antibody tests indicate how many people had COVID-19 and recovered, including those who didn't have symptoms." ( Mayo Clinic - Mayo Clinic MayoClinic.org)
