@blm1007blm1007 Barbara- My approach to living is to live life fully, sensibly and without fear of every possible negative outcome. It leaves me just enough time for a good diet, some exerc, and reasonable precautions. This has served me well for more than 70 years, and MAC and Bronchiectasis are just a couple more bumps in the road of life. Frankly, going to my grandsons' school is probably riskier than visiting my friend in the hospital, but I don't skip either one. On the other hand we do decline close contact indoor gatherings when it is flu season (except church)

I know that in my case I have to be more careful than that. I cannot "live life fully" in terms of taking chances or going places etc. Those days are gone and I have to accept that. Hopefully most people can instinctually or intuitively feel what level of caution is reasonable for them. Everyone is at a different age also which greatly factors in. And everyone is different in terms of immune response. That being said living in fear is not the right approach either.
