Just last night my husband and I were talking. He is a kidney recipient, and currently lives 800 miles away, working to retirement. His flippant remark that he will send me to do the shopping etc when he gets here hit me wrong. While he is on immunosuppressants, he failed to understand that my autoimmune conditions also place me in an at-risk group, along with age.

@gingerw People have suggested that my husband could go to the store but I think that his added age - he is 12 years older than I am - sort of equalizes him with me being on immunosuppressants, plus he could of course bring home germs. I would feel fine going out in the very early hours and grabbing a few quick errands, avoiding being within 6' of people, and then of course thoroughly washing my hands when I got home, but my family is all over me so I don't think I will. Although I think the risk is minuscule, if I did catch this virus my family would all be too furious at me to risk it.
