Wonderful, Anthony! Thank you for such a straightforward and helpful article. Excellent book list and pertinent suggestions about how to get through this long sequester... I too am in the demographic of high risk. ITP for 20+ years, Splenectom in ‘04;, and was put on the high dose 4 day push of the steroid dexamethasone 2 weeks ago for an undiagnosed virus (was not tested for Covid 19, as there were so few available at the hospital). I’m at home, only leaving for solitary walks. Thanks for your upbeat voice in this crazy time!
