Younger members may look at this and think it is an over reaction, if I was younger and in good health, I may think the same. In my life, I have been shot at on a number of occasions, been blown up and had a hand grenade thrown at me, I am no shrinking violet. This scares me though, I am afraid of being unable to catch a breath until death takes me.

You’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing Dave. They haven’t made the position official yet but the government will very soon be recommending everybody with chronic health problems self-isolate for 12 weeks.
