We've had to skip, cancel or postpone a lot of activities during the Coronavirus pandemic. Family reunions. Vacations. Sporting events. Maybe a date-night at the movies. Going to church. The list goes on and on.

And may include that dental appointment you had. You decided it wasn't that big of a deal. But as it turns out, it could be a very big deal indeed.
