I’m 71 w/slightly high BP (no meds) and occasional bronchitis of unknown etiology, normal BMI...would you consider that high risk?

I’m 71 and have had pneumonia and bronchitis over the years. About 20 lbs. over best weight. Assume that’s a little into the high risk range.

But I don’t care. I’m doing what I want to do — if it’s available to do. Can’t go to church ‘cause the doors are locked. We shop w/o masks and have friends for dinner. Would happily eat in a restaurant if any were open.

probably not you don’t sound fragile to me but that is something you could talk over with your pcp. i’m 60 fat and with asthma. I’m not particularly worried

for what it’s worth, I wouldn’t...now myself, I am 71, I have had a mild heart attack (I don’t believe it, but the doc tells me I did), HPB and elevated LDL lipids (on meds for both), and coronary arterial disease to some extent...I believe I am vulnerable, but I’ll still take my chances in a free and open country...
