my immunity is not good; threat of an institution and the Coronavirus are causing high anxiety
 

I have MS and I take corticosteroids for flare ups.  Corticosteroids weaken the immune system.  Between my disease and my medication, I do not have much of an immune defense.  I am very frightened of the Coronavirus and what it could do to me.  Luckily, I am in the home of my live in caretaker.  This person helps me to keep the home sanitized and practices prevention, so I am at much less risk of being exposed to viruses and bacteria. I am becoming more fearful every day about EVV and the threat of an institution as my only option.  Please don't do this to me! Please reach a solution and quick!
