If you get covid-19, do you expect to pull through?

I don’t. I think we’d be done for. I think we’re on our own if one of us catches it. I don’t see going to a county hospital or a private hospital, either one. And call the doctor? What’s he going to say but go to the ER? He has to. If I’m not going to do that, why call?

I would also go ahead and treat coldish symptoms with cold symptom relievers, because why not? We can still get colds and ordinary flu.

I’m wearing a mask at home now.

Tonight, Dec. 6, tighter restrictions go into effect in the Bay Area, so I went grocery shopping even though I didn’t feel too good. We’d be ready if it were just a blizzard coming at us (bread & milk & eggs & orange juice, check—and plenty of soup and pasta).

How’s your state of readiness? Are you making any changes at this point or figuring you’ll just tough it out? Are you optimistic?
