I really appreciate Dr Poland’s factual yet calming take on this pandemic. Because of what I have heard from him and other experts in the field, I feel I can go about my life with relatively small risk. I am 79, live alone, try to walk three to five times per week, wear a mask in public at all times, and do my own grocery shopping. I shop quickly, rarely in a store more than 20 minutes. Wal Mart where I shop most now has a mandatory mask precaution for everyone entering the store.
