Okay. But then, should I stay home because my previously healthy breathing is now limited from the damage caused by a rather large pulmonary embolism blocking major blood vessels to my lungs that went undetected for some months? So now that puts me at real risk of drowning in my own fluids if I get covid?
I have restricted my social contacts to an outing once a week, on a usually quiet day, to do all the things I cannot do online. I wear a mask. I observe social distancing. I sanitise my hands, and wipe down surfaces, I avoid contact with those even more vulnerable than myself - but I cannot expect the same courtesy from others?
And it is a courtesy. It is good manners NOT to endanger other people. But hey, it is everyone's rights these days that seem to take precedence over responsibilities. Rights that I was raised to regard as privileges, to be valued and respected, and not taken lightly.
So, I'll just keep on doing my best. And stuff those who think I am a foolish old woman for wanting to live my best life for as long as I can, without endangering anyone else...
Rant over.
