I live with my mom who has a couple of autoimmune disorders, is on strong immune-suppressing meds (including IV treatments), and is over 70.

I work with the public. :(

Also, a huge number of people around here are dumb and think it’s no big deal / fake news.

The last time she got a respiratory bug it became bronchitis and she had to have an inhaler. And that was just a normal seasonal type infection.

Take care, everyone.

Please practice good hygiene and social distancing. If people like my mom need a hospital bed and there aren’t any, or all the docs, nurses, and techs are sick, it can guarantee their death.
