Your instructions as to how to live with cautions are similar to ones we were given however you seem to be more energetic and in better health than my spouse. I posted earlier on this subject. The chronic coughing and chronic fatigue are such now that we couldn’t go inside anywhere. Hopefully that will improve once pulmonary rehab starts in Feb. but I still think we would adhere to our isolation because I see so few people with masks these days. I do go out to buy groceries and pick up meds and rarely see masks. Many who wear them fail to cover their noses.
Many aren’t vaxed because not politically correct here. Too risky for us at this juncture. Merry Christmas to everyone! 🎄

For me it is about safety first. But everyone has to weigh the risks and rewards to their situation. I am 71 and have had Bronchiectasis for a couple of decades. Chronic Pseudomonas. Antibiotics are risky due to co morbidities. So all I have is prevention which includes natural remedies and avoiding contact. We pretty much just stay at home and especially during flu season! Pick up groceries in car ordered online. Everything else is mail ordered. No restaurants except to pick up take out. Vaccinated and masks in any encounter. Like busy beans I really count my blessings with a cozy home, great husband of 35 years, 2 very loved dogs. I would rather stick around for their sake than risk it. But that is just me. I am a bit of a recluse by nature anyway!
