This thought has occurred to me because DH and I are both immuno- compromised and take immune suppressant drugs and by experience know that the least dangerous virus and bacteria can send (DH in particular) to the hospital for weeks at a time.
We have a kiosk at the local mall. We have a frame along the 2 open sides with clear plastic, which if the virus is airborne, that plastic does no good. The mall is loaded with lint and everything even inside the kiosk gets loaded with lint. So if the virus is airborne, then it's all around because the mall is packed with people.
I'm not saying this cause I'm scared, it's just things I take into consideration. Why? Because I ponder ways to keep us safe so we may live without so many hospital stays. We were immuno compromised before COVID came and did things to protect ourselves BEFORe COVID. Back then I didn't expect others to alter their life because of us and I still don't. They have their lives to live and keep the economy afloat. If I focus on protecting ourselves, I don't feel angry at others who aren't careful cause I don't have time to focus on them. Less stress. More inner peace.If other people want to eat fat and sugar laden food that can cause illness, I have nothing against that but in my fight for life, I choose to eat healthy. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate everybody who does things to help the less fortunate. It makes fuzzy warm circles around my heart. But once again, I've lived over 50 years with these health problems and I've never before asked people to change their life for me...I will continue to educate myself and have peace that the world doesn't have to stop for me.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself
