Unlike most other communities that offer housing for seniors, we have been fortunate to not have multi-family units. We don't have to be exposed to others in hallways, elevators or public transportation. Those certainly are among the close quarters that we are warned to avoid. At this point, we all have to provide our own transportation so that isn't an issue. Whether or not we choose to live in one of the new apartments, we will be exposed to others who frequent the communal spaces in the buildings. Six months ago, this would never have been a concern. We live in a different world now.

Same world we’ve always lived in. Viruses and bacteria have been around longer than we have. Some are worse than others. Some come and go. The seasonal flu kills many seniors too, why is it only COVID that causes you to worry about apartments. They both thrive when there is close human contact.
