Good editorial, Glenn. About sums up what I have been saying since this whole silliness started. I take all the precautions recommended for the simple reason that at over 80 years old with multiple problems with my systems due to use and misuse, it behooves me to be somewhat more careful than I normally am which is totally ignoring all the precautions that significant numbers take. I do not drink the city water but drink only distilled water. That has nothing to do with health precautions but is merely because the city water "meets federal standards" most of the time but not all of the time. Even if it met "federal standards" all of the time that still is not saying a whole lot about the water. Otherwise I eat what I damned well feel like; don't wash my hands as often as I probably should. Oh, I quit drinking out of streams in the U.S. many years ago because having had a bout of salmonella infection, decided that I didn't need the experience two times in my life. Other than that, I just blunder through life. Must be doing something right or good genes because at 83 I'm still alive and kicking, albeit not quite as hard and as frequently as in earlier days.
