An absence of caution: when I first felt a lump on my breast I dismissed it. I was young, fit, no risk factors. OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION my husband told me to get it checked. It was nuclear grade aggressive breast cancer that we fought with everything we had and I lived. 3/
I live pretty fearlessly. I don't care what you think of me for the most part. I'm happy to speak to thousands, and take commercial risks every day. But on the health front, as an insurance measure, I'm all for inhaling the abundance of caution rather than the coronavirus. Ends.
