Anyone else high risk? What are you doing now?

Anyone else high risk? What steps are you taking?

I'm staying in - really in. I have some heart conditions, and other than getting my mail, taking my trash out, etc., I'm not doing anything.

auntiejessi: FWIW, from what I've seen around, the most recommended OTC is vitamin D. I'm not talking about health food blogger types. I'm referring to various actual doctors who have reviewed the limited evidence. Surprisingly to me, moderate to low doses daily seem to work better than high doses occasionally, and even better than high doses daily.

Btw, this might be just a small issue but since WHO warns against paper money, the mail might be in the same boat.

Are you taking an ACE-I or an ARB med for BP?

[auntiejessi]

Funny - I just started taking a Vit D supplement because mine was low.

No ACE-I or ARB, but I'm on a beta blocker.

And I never thought about mail. I wash my hands after all the deliveries I'm getting from Amazon, but the mail never occurred to me.

Crap.

I had to buy a home workout system so I could avoid all the people who are careless.
I got a cold after someone in a pharmacy lineup coughed on me so after that I not only social distance from shoppers, I keep an eye out in every direction  for them and step back if one is approaching an aisle intersection.
I try to cook everything myself now to avoid food prepared by others who may be sick etc.
Good article in New Yorker today called How to Practice Social Distancing opened my eyes even further.
