Protecting yourself during winter months with autoimmune disease

I would do whatever you feel comfortable with. I keep masks and hand sanitizers with me in case I need it. In stores I keep my distance from people. Maybe at church use mask, go in when it starts and sit in back by the doors where the fresh air is.
Also don’t forget your recommended vaccines. I have several autoimmune diseases my scariest is PBC/ liver cirrhosis. Best wishes!

Those are exactly all the things I do, and they've been working for me. I keep my distance from people as much as possible and as best as I can, avoid crowded venues, always use masks and hand sanitizers, wash hands often, sit in the back of the church at the end of the row, and have gotten all of the recommended vaccines. And, to date, since the pandemic and since I became immunocompromised, I have not had any of the dangerous respiratory illnesses that are circulating (not even a cold). We each have to focus on keeping ourselves safe and healthy.
