20. I've had mostly video visits since the pandemic started

But three Dr visits in person not counting labs. Also have had a couple dentist visits, another one coming up. Another Dr visit in a few weeks which I think will be online but I’ll have to go into the clinic to get the blood drawn. I’ve felt pretty safe doing the ones I’ve had but I’m going to have to get a haircut pretty soon. They all wear masks and keep all their equipment clean (I did one awhile ago) but that makes me more nervous than the medical visits. I decided a little while ago all I can do is take whatever precautions I can. Not going to hide out in my house totally but I don’t get out much either.
