(2,103 posts)18. 69 years old, widower, no kids.
My GF lives in another part of the state, ~135 miles from my home. I am sheltering in place with her. She has a married daughter, no kids, (yet), a step daughter with 2 toddlers, and a nephew with 2 young ones. When my wife was succumbing to cancer, I vowed that, should I get cancer, I would refuse chemo. I feel the same about COVID-19. I've had a good life, knew the love of 2 good women, made many friends inside and outside politics. I am taking every sensible precaution, but if this disease gets me, I'll be ready to go. I'll tell the doctors to save their heroic measures for those who still may have a future.

I'm also in a risk group. I will fight to survive if I get the virus. Never give up.
