Ok, I'm an old lady with health issues, so I fit into the high-risk category. But until I am ordered to stay home, I'm going out. I refuse to hide in fear.
Well, it depends on what you determine to be old. Mr. doctor's nurse told me that 50 is the now the new 40, 60 is the new 50, 70 is the new 60, 80 is the new 70, etc.
Buy CDC guidelines, I am old. I have health issues as well. But I too refuse to live in fear. Common sense precautions this time of year because of flu season is appropriate and applies to the corona. Sanitize the grocery carst, use hand sanitizer when you get into the car before you touch that steering wheel and wash your hands when you get home, sanitize door knobs and light switches, bleach/water to wipe off countertops, etc., etc. I posted a list in the coronavirus thread -- Purell, Clorox, Lysol, etc., kills this virus and this virus is easily killed.
