I work for the city and so far the mantra has been business as usual. At the same time they talk about working from home, which I could do 70% of my job but since I am in IT there are times systems need physical contact.
My conundrum is I have some respiratory issues. First is when I was 13 when our family was at Ft. Leonard Wood a TB outbreak happened and I was hit by it. I did the treatment where it was sealed off by taking INH everyday for a year. Even with that the doctor told me I would susceptible to lung issues from there on out. Even cured my immune system is compromised. To that point it has given me issues. I have had pneumonia 3 times from my late 30's into my 40's.
Question: With my age and medical history what should I do?
Should I keep going to work for the greater good of the community to keep vital systems going? Or, should I work from home and do the best I can from there?

you already know the answer, your compromised. You have TB. You are most definitely at risk. It’s malpractice for Doctors to give biologics to a confirmed TB patient. Because of the susceptibility to immune compromise. Even if it was decades ago. Do what you can at home. Have someone else step up for the in-person tasks.
