@cdrice we too have not ordered take-out. They say food is safe, just move the food to other dishes, dispose of the containers, and wash your hands, but we just feel it’s not worth the risk. I can see myself giving in to it at some point though, particularly if this lasts the 18-24 months that I have seen predicted.

I had to have my blood work done the first week of April so I was very concerned about that but it was handled fairly well. I go every two months so I will be going again in a few weeks.

I think it will be a long time before we travel again. We had a Caribbean vacation to St. Martin scheduled the first week of March but a few days before we were due to leave I was advised by two departments at Mass General, my transplant hospital, to not go so of course we didn’t. The best we could do with the expenses we had already incurred (flights and hotel 3 night deposit) was a credit that has to be used within a year. That’s not going to happen.

I have been trying to keep track of info on COVID and transplant patients too but this is still so new that it changes and is inconsistent. It does seem as if we can get infected more easily, but if infected our prognosis is fairly similar to others.
