5. I'm supposed to go in for blood tests in a couple weeks

I have low level myeloma, so far not even being treated just monitored. I suspect they’ll delay my appointment. Since it’s a cancer hospital many people have compromised immune systems and even under the best of circumstances many people wear masks and you are questioned when arriving about any possible symptoms. I have not been there since the pandemic came to the states.

But I think my friends attitude is probably not that unusual right now. I’m retired so this stuff is mostly an inconvenience for me but I realize many people are out of work now and can’t survive this way and things will have to loosen up. My old crew from before I retired are all working from home. I had the kind of job that was possible but obviously many people aren’t in that situation. It’s rough for them now and will remain for for some time.
