@contentandwell right now, my husband is 800 miles away from where I am. We are still living in two different households until he retires. He is a kidney transplant recipient. He is very aware of his increased vulnerability due to age and transplant. At the beginning, I was making comments and he didn't like that I was being such a helicopter wife. But now he has changed his tune and he is more careful about everything. Probably somebody other than me said something to him. As of this morning he is working from home rather than going into the manufacturing plant. But he is also increasing his hand washing and his interface with others has dropped to almost nothing. I think that in the end it is each person's responsibility to make the decision of how they will handle this epidemic.

@gingerw. It is each person’s decision bit I think it’s irresponsible to not follow the guidelines suggested. I don’t think quick trips to the store at quiet hours is out of line. He does and has now convinced my husband so my husband wants us to start getting our groceries delivered. The only place around here that does that is Whole Foods.
