So, all y'all that have been close to and exposed to someone that has tested positive just keep on with your normal routine?

Nope. I have stayed home 4 times in the last year due to exposure to someone that had it. I have tested negative every time but I quarantined until I was sure I was safe. I always wear a mask at work and my family wears them when we go out in public. The big thing is to wash your hands and try to avoid touching your face

I thought we were supposed to stop washing our hands and touch everyone else's face?

How much you wanna spend? If you're on the hydroxytyrosol polyphenol kick and on a budget... I recommend Partanna red or yellow label, Sicily. They have it at Walmart in a can or bottle. I use it in my ginger and turmeric tea and a spoon ful in the am and pm. It's Sicilian. $10 a bottle $17 tin can.

Olive Ranch, California. Walmart and Publix. It's a good all around oil. They have Original, Mild and Bold or Robust one of the two. $6. I use this on my avocado boats in the air fryer. It's really good.

Terra Creta. Greek. This is my favorite Higher low end. I get it from Amazon in a bottle $25.

On the lower high end, Olio Verde, Sicily. It's an affordable higher end.

The harvest date is really important. If it only has a "Best By" date they..."experts" say it can't be trusted. You want a harvest date as close to present year as possible.

Unlike wine, it doesn't get better with time. Like wine, there are a gazillion things to consider. Mikey likes a blend. I don't.

Sorry if it's TL;DR.

Pompeian imported extra light tasting olive oil.

I'm just sharing knowledge wif muh Regulator Pal. I used to use Pompeian to cook with. My understanding is it's garbage oil and is low in nutrients that are essential for the whole purpose of it it's whole advertised health benefits. I still have a bottle, in the garage. I use it for lubrication and squeaky things, but I don't consume it anymore.

And..."Light" in olive oil is the same as "Light" in Marlboro or "Light" in Beer etc. Except worse. It's not significant in health benefit good or bad and it's actually not as good for you. It is however significantly worse in flavor.

If you're just using it "because" and you like it, keep on keeping on brother because it ain't bad for you. But you could spend a couple of more dollars and make a major upgrade in health benefits and flavor.

I'll shut up now.

Actually, I should have just responded like Bill did to my Smart watch.

If you are happy with it that's all that matters and it's worth it's weight in gold.

I had read that olive oil was good for you that's why I asked I didn't want to be taking the wrong one I had another bottle of it and I had ate it on a salad and with bread and I was reading it and it had granola oil in it I didn't notice the little different writing on it it was a mix of olive oil and granola for cooking smh. So I ask to get the good stuff.

It is really good for you and like I said, I've used Pompeian for years. You can find good inexpensive olive oils at the grocery store, you just have to do a little homework, which I've done most of it for you. Best bang for your buck is California Olive Ranch. It's cheaper than Pompeian and it's trusted good authentic extra virgin olive oil. Walmart and Publix carry it.

Fixed. California Olive Ranch. Forgot the "olive".
