Welcome back to PSA Thursday, a mostly-weekly segment in which we talk about how to handle money, work, and life in the middle of a pandemic.
This week, we focus on life and how to stay safe when venturing outside of your home.

In this episode, we discuss the precautions to take…
- When using a public toilet
- When picking up food at a quick-serve restaurant or fast food place
