What is everyone doing?

For those of you interested in a scientific explanation of whether or not the virus is airborne, this was a good explanation, https://www.wired.com/story/they-say...-borne-by-air/.

I hope all the fears and concerns are unfounded. My best guess is that ultimately those who feel all the precautions were necessary will end up saying “see, I told you so. These actions minimized the outbreak”. Those who think they are unnecessary will say, “see, I told you so. The outbreak was not the end of the world and the majority escaped unscathed.”

I’m not concerned for myself or my kids. I am concerned for my parents who are high risk. Because of my concern for them, I am taking steps to minimize my exposure so I don’t pass along the virus to them. And, I am discouraging them from being in public places where they might be exposed. Am I being too careful? Maybe, but for their sake I would rather be safe than sorry.

I'm going to be 66 in a few months. I'm not completely isolating myself but I am trying to avoid crowded areas. As you get older it takes a lot longer to get over illnesses. I get a flue shot every year because if I get the flue I'm down and miserable for at least two weeks. So if I can take precautions to prevent me from getting sick and being miserable for two weeks it's worth it, along with the additional benefit of not passing it along to others.

Exactly what I mean when I say be vigilant. Know you’re own situation and act accordingly
