Our elderlies are in their 90’s…….if this hits them, likely only intensive care in hospital would help. Then again, they might chose to not go to hospital cuz…hey, it’s been a long life. [shrug]
For DH and I……we both have age and other comorbidity factors. Don’t plan to use hospital when the smarter option is Self-Isolation….BEFORE you’re exposed. We have the luxury of that choice…tho with some penalties for us. We are getting very close to that choice now – due to the rotten long asymptomatic period. So we might be a loooong time with just the two of us but, 😉 I bought some new puzzles. LOL
Will be so glad to have Internet [for news and email ] and of course, electricity…..IF they can keep those going. Even ground-line telephone way out here can get iffy and they won’t be fixing our remote phone lines. Have shortwave radio…receiver only for news.
OTOH…if someone has a serious medical problem crop up during this mess that isn’t COVID-19 ….it won’t bode well. Our tiny hospital….I can envision 1918 type wards in the school gymnasium. Hopefully they have a lot of ventilators…and keep the electricity running.
OldMtWoman ….pandemics always carry a lot of bad news. 🙁
