I’m not in fear for myself.... but I have elderly parents in their lae 80’s. I have to be ready in case somethng happens, and thus can’t afford to be sick, and I certainly would like to spare them having to contract this virus. So I wear protective gear when in public.
“I’m not in fear for myself.... but I have elderly parents in their late 80’s.”
My wife helps out with elderly folks (including her mom). I do the shopping for all of them (three sets plus ours). I shop in full PPE and have been since the first week of March. I’m not “afraid” - just doing what I think is prudent. Much like putting on my seat belt. I’m not afraid of getting into an accident but I put on my seat belt.
I know other older folks that go to a few stores every day without any PPE as that is their only form of “getting out”. To each their own I guess. Except one of them is in contact with my young-adult daughter. He has a cough now she says. Hoping that her young healthy immune system will keep her safe.
