First off, thank you for your service. I wasn't in the service, but worked for the Post Office. My 1st few years was in the military mail section. We handle most of the mail going to the service men and women around the world. I hope all got everything that was sent to them, a few packages didn't make it. That was from 68 until 71 or there abouts.
I am 70 and have had asthma (mostly in my youth but some issues in adulthood). That being said I am very careful when I get out. Most of my food is brought to me by my daughter and her husband. I am very grateful for that. I do go for some fun food on occasion (ice cream and such). Being on house arrest (as I call it) is frustrating, but I get it. I pray daily and enjoy talking with people when I am out. We keep our distance and all seem to be doing quite well.
Common sense applies to anything that we do in these times. Unfortunately, many people don't have that and thus are possibly putting others in danger. I, for one, am willing to stay close to home and wait it out. Good luck to all and stay safe and healthy. Prayers to you all.
