Thanks, Calicia! This article confirms everything science and common sense has caused me to believe about what we should be doing to protect ourselves and others. I trust that you're remaining safe with family!
Pat, your approach is much like ours - doing whatever we feel is safe. I'm 69, and though I'd planned to be living in Houston only during the winter months, COVID-19 has changed all of that; I'm still living with my daughter, who's 38. We've been taking the precautions you mentioned since the second week of March when, due to my autoimmune issues, she was given permission to work from home. A friend who works in the industry mailed each of us one N95 mask, which we use while grocery shopping twice monthly. I plan on heading to my sister's home in NC as soon as reasonably possible, as she and her husband are taking similar precautions, and my daughter will soon be more "out there" among friends. We're taking it day-by-day, but I expect to be heading north by early June.
Glens, you're right to take precautions, and as Texas continues to open up, I expect to see COVID-19 cases and deaths rise.

I hate leaving my daughter here alone, but as time goes on, she's going to be going out more often, so I'll be increasingly at risk (due to autoimmune issues). Be safe!

The bottom line is that the curve flattened when we isolated, but flattening the curve did not eliminate the illness and deaths still to come. The numbers of cases and subsequent deaths may be fewer overall because of collective isolation, but we will not eliminate death. Indeed, death comes to folks my age and older in many forms, COVID-19 being merely the one we're focused upon at this particular moment. This point came home to me again this morning when I learned about the death of a friend four years older than I. Fast-moving cancer produced extremely painful symptoms which took him just two months after the initial diagnosis. Faith, family, and friends saw him through to the end, and I hope to follow his courageous example. I'll take whatever reasonable precautions needed and encourage those I love to do the same, living their lives to the fullest without unreasonable fear.
Best to all!
