@kathyhg ...In addition to the usual protections for influenza, I avoid winter doctor visits and crowded areas. I no longer shake hands and use hand sanitizer in the car after visiting every site. If the community infections grow, I'll wear my mask everywhere and postpone visits with grandchildren until summer.

@egayle187 Hi. Those are smart measures to take. I am in a conumdrum about my annual dr appt at Mayo in June. If I don't go by the first week in June, then I lose my 'established patient' status; and risk getting another appt with them as a new patient. I am thinking I should go down there now before the number of virus sick people are really crowding the clinic. I think I will ask to minimize the amount of testing this trip so that I can get out of there quicker. I may skip the chest x-ray and the six minute walk and bloodwork. I may skip it all and just see the dr.
