i am watching this very closely as i'm approaching 70 fast, and i have MS, and my wife has COPD.
i have had several chats with my doc [not THAT DoC ! tsk] about this. our pneumonia and flu shots are up to date, and my wife [for many, many years now] avoids people that coughs and hacks like they got the plague.

our state [PA.] has yet to claim any victims, but it's only a matter of time.
we are not getting panicky yet, but we both are very concerned.
luckily, the hospital is only a few blocks away from where we live, and has a pretty reasonable and competent staff. [both of us have used it on many occasions, and they ain't killed us yet ! biggrin]
