I don't live in a nursing home, but I am 74 years old with COPD. Should I go ahead and take my planned trips, flying on airlines and eating at restaurants and comingling freely with strangers of all sorts and just "not worry about it" in spite of the experts saying that age and underlying medical conditions make one more vulnerable?
