risk as·sess·ment
-- a systematic process of evaluating the potential risks that may be involved in a projected activity or undertaking.= = =
A conversation with a friend this morning left me with all kinds of thoughts on subject. I'm going to discuss from the point of view of ME, being cautious and careful, in my own home.
There are a group of people who want to become a part of my 'bubble' -- which I like to refer to as "POD".
As I evaluate who I am going to let in to my group -- and yes, I WANT to let one or more into my group, because my POD consists of exactly one person -- ME.
Here are the prospective people:
1. Family of four -- my daughter, her partner, two young boys (ages 8 and 9) who want to see their 'grammy'. They have been very careful with all measures for the past 60 days. Only concern is daughter's partner who has been working part-time in small bicycle shop (an essential service in their town, for repairs).
2. Friend, nurse, works as in-home health care. Has not been exposed to anyone infected as far as she knows.
3. Friend, Postal Worker - mail carrier -- otherwise isolated
4. Friend, Young person who recently attended a gathering of people her age -- not sure what, if any PPE, was used.
5. Grand-daughter, practicing SIP since being laid off from her restaurant job; her partner -- an EMT who works 12 hour shifts in San Jose.
I will say that I am comfortable with having a visit from any of the above, except #4.
How about you?
