My mom died in '03 from cancer...two weeks after her diagnosis. It's one of the reasons I know that medicine is very much an art at times, and that they can get things wrong. Dad died in '07 from complications rising from rheumatoid arthritis. I am also grateful they didn't have to go through this. I doubt my dad would ever have said "I demand accommodation for my disease." Rather, he would be one of those defying isolation (if he had been hospitalized) and demanding "normal" rather than "stay home/stay safe.
