3. I am terrified.... I have to go to the dentist today

I didn't realize it until I had to face the decisions that I can't put this off. I have to go.

The thought of someone in my face like that, who has been in the face of other people (without masks... can't wear a mask when getting dental work obviously)... it is freaking me out.

I have COPD and Lupus. I live with a 79 year old mom who is diabetic. We have been VERY careful. I work at home and go to the store once every 2-3 weeks.

I know they will be masked. I know I will be able to wait in the car until it is my turn. They have updated their A/C and filters. I'm still freaked out. And it is all about the testing.

Even if they were tested, you don't get the results for a week or more.

I'm angry about the lack of testing. There is no way this economy will ever recover unless and until the public has confidence that they are not going to catch their death when they go about their lives.
