COVID-19 and MAC: What are you doing differently to protect yourself?

For some unknown reason, the majority of these forums ar now being posted in my junk file and I found them there when I discovered most everything was disappearing.

@windwalker ...I think we are all in a little bit of a panic mode over this. The good thing is it makes us super cautious. My husband is still taking follow up apts on the sale of houses that are in the works. It is disconcerting...but understandable. I have nagged him almost to death on precautionary measures....so much so, that I am sick of nagging...hahaha. Never thought I would get there. I just did reschedule my yearly April apt with my pulmonologist for a date in June. Perhaps being optimistic but I hope not. Terri...I hope you are doing well and hope all of our brothers and sisters on this site get through this terrible plague with no infection. Good luck to us all and may we find good health, peace and hope. Yes...I am an old hippie... Speaking of old hippies...This is completely unrelated but I want to post this video just in case a little happiness is needed...you may not be from the same musical time and genre but thought I would take a shot. Best to all !! Love and Peace

I never get a normal cold (7-10 days) mine always go into sinus infections &then sometimes bronchitis. At the end of 2018 I had one followed by two others in early 2019 with sinus infections that required antibiotics. This was very concerning to me now at age 73. So I finally started taking Vitamin D. Years ago a doctor prescribed it for me because I am low in this as are many Americans. I haven't been sick since. I keep a hand sanitizer in my car & use it after every shopping trip & gas fill-up. When I get my groceries home I put the bags on the floor which I had previously washed with Lysol. Then remove each product one at a time & spray it with a Lysol spray & put it on my table to dry. I also spray my mail & mailbox handle. Lately reports have told us to make sure we have a will. I haven't gotten that far but I have been going through all my very old documents which are now defunct & shredding them since I never had the time to do it until now. I watch the news at noon, the governor's update @ 2:30 & the 5:00-7:00 news reports. Today our governor (Holcolm) said they would be going to twice daily briefing's soon. We are an emerging hot- spot. Our numbers of dead double every 3 days based on my own record keeping. I keep a journal but now it is mainly about the Corona virus Pandemic. My YMCA is closed so I work out at home to exercise DVD's. I stay positive knowing that the Chinese have survived this.

Alleycatkate....thank you for that...music always touches my soul

Yes, a positive (for the moment) is that the weather here is much better than in MI during March and April. But, thereafter it'll be brutally hot here. The sun may come out on Thursday for you. (Let's hope!!!) Lori

I think that’s what it’s called. LOL. We haven’t seen it here in NYC for a few days
