@migizii It seems most of us with bronchiectasis have other risks as well, either age or other ailments. Like @astaingegerdm said, my pulmonologist and primary said to follow the CDC guidelines. My primary, also with a gerontology specialty, added "but don't make yourself and everyone else crazy."

We have VERY gradually widened our activities - specifically, seeing other careful friends and family in outdoor, small group settings. We frequent a few select local stores that take good precautions, but order the bulk of our groceries on-line for curbside pickup. Yesterday, for the first time in 4 1/2 months we ate at a restaurant! Outdoor patio, very well spread out tables, staff masked, disposable menus, they sanitize tables & chairs between customers - we felt very safe & it was lovely!

My daughter is a school nurse with two small sons, and hopes not to be in school this Fall, but if she is we have already agreed we will have to go back to distanced visits - because they & we have been isolated for months, we had gradually loosened our protocol to allow masked outdoor visits, including quick hugs and play dates, so I would be very sad...
