Take care of yourself too.

You do right to err on the side of caution, I'm doing the same. I avoid people, order my groceries online and wash the packaging down with disinfectant. I know it sounds extreme, but it makes me feel safer. If someone had told me earlier in the year that I'd be living like this, I would have laughed in their face.
