In reply to the discussion: I live in Kirkland WA.....UPDATE It's a nationwide shitshow! [View all]McKim
(2,412 posts)16. In Portland: Hunkering Down
I have had two long term viruses this year since October which each lasted about two months. This exacerbated my asthma so I am back on a morning and evening inhaler. I am 74 so I decided to not go out anymore.
It is hard. I had to cancel my Spanish class at the university, my trip to Spain in May with friends is cancelled and tickets for events are not going to be used. I am having to face more months of staying in the house. I plan to clean the basement and paint some rooms, making good use of the time. We really dont know what will happen. I recommend staying in if you are elderly and have an underlying condition like me.
