Thanks for your thoughts, Lynn.

This "we never did much before we got ill to take care of our health. This is a wake up call I feel to get in shape, to take better care of your health issues while you can" is something that keeps coming back to my mind.

From the beginning we were told that preexisting conditions make the difference between mild or no symptoms, and severe symptoms even death.

I don't recall hearing much talk about concretely doing something now to improve our preexisting conditions, whatever could be done.

We are one year later, and if we had started doing something about our individual preexisting conditions 12 months ago, 6 months, 3 months, ..., we'd be now in a better position to face the illness. Even today, it isn't too late for most of us.

Also, I believe that reducing our exposure to the news, especially those that spread fear and hate, would greatly improve our preexisting conditions too.

I am with you on your choices.
