@honualoha9- Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I think that you should speak to your doctor, but I also advise you to take yourself out of the mainstream. COVID-19, if you catch it can complicate your existing health problems. Just recently has the RNA been shown to highjack our cells. I know that by the numbers you don't have that many cases yet but you will. Please take extreme caution and listen to all of CDC"s recommendations!

How are you feeling today?

I'm feeling pretty good overall, thanks. I have continued to have the same cough which I've had for a long time, which probably freaks people out when I have to rarely go out to pick up a few groceries. My mom who I'm taking care of has stage 4 lung cancer, so we are both laying low. Thanks for the confirmation that we're doing the right thing by staying home.
