Other than total isolation, what are you doing to protect yourself.
If you have RA and are taking immune suppression drugs you are in the most vulnerable category.

Melissa, I’m a retired HR professional and I’m here to tell you with significant certainty if you were fired under these circumstances you would have an ADA case that would result in compensation. We are in the middle of a pandemic and you have an immune disorder and the CDC recommends social distancing and isolation for those with your circumstances. Do what you feel you must but you have some options to consider.

Thanks Sam. I actually went into the bank with surgical gloves, a mask, and my sunglasses (it was sunny in Spokane). The bank folks didn’t blink just said I would have to remove the mask to get cash. 😆 Humor in the worst situation.

I wondered about that. I have been on 400mg of hydroxychloroquine for 2 years and get an Orencia infusion every 4 weeks. Since my system is use to 400 mg I would probably need a higher dose than most. Would you please cite the source for the research please. Thanks.

I think those of us on hydroxychloroquine are in a good spot right now but it could get difficult to refil our prescriptions....

Everyone's post is 5 or 6 days ago. I will bet their are many that have different perspectives now. Especially since they believe that Plaquinel seems to kill the virus and most of us are on that or have been.
