Reply to "Covid questions"

What Jaypea said above is correct, although having an autoimmune disease doesn't necessarily mean you are immunocompromised. It just means your immune system doesn't work as it should and causes an inflammatory response that needs to be treated.

What makes you immune compromised is taking drugs like Entocort or Prednisone or Remicade which actually suppress the immune response. As someone who takes Remicade I am in this group. But I don't worry about it because all I can do is behave responsibly and appropriately. While not as exposed as Jaypea is in his employment I try to isolate as much as possible. I probably have more to worry about than you do but all I can do is the right things and not expose myself needlessly to being infected.

I have eaten out in restaurants with my GF and did last Friday, but I would say it was very Covid friendly cavernous restaurant with well spaced tables and booths, not many people were there and nobody was within 25 feet of us. You need to pick your spots and I would definitely go there again.

Thanksgiving is just going to be me and Dad who is now living with me. Just a chicken, Turkey is too big for the 2 of us although I like Turkey and he doesn't.  So it will be a total low key holiday for me except I am meeting some friends at a local microbrewery on November 29. Like I said I just pick my spots here and there -
