For each of the 10 goals you can add a small celebration.
Maybe a glass of champagne for one or a dessert with a sparkler on top for another.

COVID-19 Outbreak
In October 2020, Turner revealed for the first time that she had contracted COVID-19 in September, with the former State Department official sharing she took every precaution and still contracted the novel virus anyway.[126]
Turner shared on Outnumbered (U.S. TV program):
"I did contract #COVID19 & had a blessedly mild case, compared to many others.
I’ve fully recovered now thankfully.
Stay safe out there folks!"[126]
"I have some first-person perspective to offer here: I myself had COVID.
I am fully recovered and it was a blessedly mild case but my doctors were not ever effectively able to figure out how I contracted it."[126]
She continued:
"I wore masks all the time.
I stayed away from other people indoors and somehow managed to contract it anyway.
My husband at the same time who I obviously live with stayed negative the entire time.
There are still mysteries about how the virus spreads.
There are still a lot of details that we don’t know now, we're not going to know for a long time."[126]
"The reality is that the medical community still doesn't know everything there is to know about how the common cold is transmitted," she also noted while adding it will probably "be decades before we know everything about COVID."[126]
