For all of you who don't take Covid seriously please be warned that this can become dangerous overnight so please take care, wear a mask & practice social distancing. Today, after hearing that they have all tested negative, I can finally fall asleep & stop stressing. Finally, the New Year feels like a Happy New year," she added.
