Be safe, vigilant and as soon as you get that dry cough seek treatment. You DO NOT want it to make its way into your lungs. At any age.

My 32yo son with CP lives in supported living. A serious chest infection from this virus would likely be life ending for him even if he could get the best hospital care. So yes I have a lot to lose. People like you are our front line, I have great respect for you. At a time like this, in your line of work self awareness will make a huge difference to outcomes. If the media is disturbing the overall community enough to check their health when they develop a sore throat, cough, mild fevers before they go to work especially in our aged/disability care then so be it. This is not the time for a "she'll be right" or "soldier on" mentality.
