For some reason everyone always assumes it will be someone else doing all the dying.

Yeah, that’s often true.

In my own case, I have some risk factors: Age / at a much younger age I did way too much work in smoky bars / some predisposition, it would seem, toward deep chest colds that take months to go away / have teenage daughter and wife is a teacher... But, still, I’m relatively healthy: I’d guess if some COVID-19 carrier comes up and spits in my eye (/s), the odds are probably 5:1 I won’t end up seriously ill.

That said though, I have a brother working on 1/3 lung capacity (mostly scar tissue - flu followed by necrotic pneumonia, a few years back) & he works in a restaurant!; my daughter has asthma; and my Mom who I help care for is 89+, and rather feeble. Gotta hope this doesn’t get loose in a big way in the US before warm weather arrives.
