I feel "at risk" every time I go into town

While, I am not panicked quite yet, you sure do find yourself paying attention to things much more. I never realized how often I scratched my nose. I was getting lunch meat at the deli yesterday and watching some ladies kids just rubbing their hands all over the counter and glass and I was like, eeesh. Everytime I hear a cough I take note...Then again I am spending far more time than is healthy on this board...
