This is very thought provoking. My husband's immune system is quite compromised after fcr treatment a year ago. Still negotiating all the social and common sense precautions.

It's too bad that the onus of responsibility lay with the person trying to protect their health and not with the one who is ill and still roaming about in public. Thanks for commenting. :)
