My name is Justin and I live in Lenexa, KS in the greater Kansas City area. When the COVID-19 virus started, like many, I was skeptical and somewhat scared of what was happening. Seeing so many people get sick so quickly and not knowing much about the virus made things worse. However, I listened to the recommendations to stay safe. I wore my mask, didn't go out to large gatherings, and stayed safe while working. Not once have I gotten sick or tested positive for COVID (thank goodness!). Following the recommendations kept me and many others I came in contact with safe. Now, having received the vaccine, I feel even more secure knowing that I have less risk of contracting COVID-19 there.
