I'm not gloating, I promise.
I have avoided contagious disease at the cost, in my case, of living in brutal isolation, which is predicated on the privilege of working from home -- and having cultivated the pre-existing resilience and skills that makes it possible for me to endure this life.
However, avoiding contagious disease is truly wonderful and my body loves it.
I encourage everyone to take whatever exposure reduction risks are possible for you, if if they are hard or unpopular. 2/n
