Has The Corona Virus Impacted You or Your Family Yet?

This virus may save us some money. We had reservations at the casino, for a couple of days, later this month. I just cancelled that this morning. Even though they are probably taking extra precautions, and the number of people going there is probably down, I'm getting somewhat pessimistic about how things are going to go over the next month, as this illness continues to spread. At our ages, I figure its best not to take any unnecessary chances.
 
No school in Pennsylvania for two weeks and no church for two weeks.
 

Yesterday an ambulance came to a neighbor living a few doors away. He has been a cancer patient for the better part of a year; inoperable lung cancer.

The VA has been dosing him with a lot of chemo and the tumor had shrunk considerably. I think he was done or very nearly done with the treatments.

Today, while walking my dog, I went past their place. She had the kitchen window open and I called to her.. "Are you alright?" She called back, "Yes, thank you".

It didn't hit me until then- what if Dan, with little to no immunity left, had contracted Covid 19, and therefore it's in their house and that's why she didn't come out? I am scared for them and also for our condos

Or, it simply might have been a false alarm. We are friendly but not on "prying" terms.

Yes, I can see this may be a problem, especially for him. With having lung cancer and then contracting COVID-19, it could spell the end for him. The only reason that I think this is because the virus attacks the respiratory system and having lung cancer sounds like double trouble to me.

@RadishRose could you just ask her if she needs anything or if there is an errand you could do for her? One of my neighbors did this when my dad was dying of cancer and we greatly appreciated it.

BTW are YOU okay? I see Conn. now has cases of COVID-19
 
Today I cancelled my dentist appointment and my colonoscopy initial visit. Typically the dentist charge $50 for last minute cancellations but the receptionist said they understand my concern an there would be no charge. When asking whether the doctor has been tested ask also about his medical as well as administrative staff have been tested. Keep in mind when you grab that pen to sign something "is it clean?"
