needed shopping, taking protective precautions. At first I had a "bring it on" attitude but as time has passed I'm less confident of a good outcome. I was still playing hoops when this started and felt good about my physical condition, especially my lung power, but my knee decided mid- January that it wasn't going to run anymore and now my feelings have changed about withstanding Covid19. Bad enough not being able to see my grandchildren and other family but the thought of gasping for my last breath alone and isolated has me willing to wait for a vaccine to at least re-balance my chances.
