I have lots of information, but I'm having difficulty prioritizing it 1. They are following distancing guidelines 2. My states case numbers are steady and relatively low / low positive rate 3. I take public transportation there 4. My work does not require much face to face work with the public- desk job. 5. All guidance on SCI shows that we are at higher risk 6. Very little actual outcome based results on COVID and SCI. Only a single case study 7. I live in a place where community transmission has been active for a while and may have had it asymptomatically already. 8. I'm typically pretty healthy (besides UTI, occasional skin breakdown) 9. One of my caregivers has emphysema 10. I'm not impacted economically either way 11. If I do come down with it mildly symptomatic, it may be difficult to get my caregivers to show up. I would likely need to be hospitalized due to lack of care- even with mild symptoms. 12. I'm getting bored staying home 13. Due to lack of human connection while isolating, I could see myself taking part in - or may have already taken part in activities that could be more risky than work. 13. I think staying out too long may affect my reputation as a reliable useful employee. Like I said, kinda complicated. What things would you be looking at?
