Are you worried about the Coronavirus? Do you think it's blow way out of proportion?

Question

Answer

I think it's blown out of proportion. It wouldn't be half so bad right now if there weren't so many idiots out there panicking and over buying things when they don't need to.

Answer

I work in a major hospital system and today was my 1st day back after being out on maternity leave. After seeing what I saw and catching up on the madness it’s sad how people aren’t taking this seriously. Its a big deal. Not sure if it’s denial or people not understanding.

Answer

It is very serious..and it's spreading like wildfire. I'm nervous because of my bad asthma, and my middle child's immune system isn't compromised, but it's not the best at handling shit. Strep and the flu (at different times) knocked her so hard on her ass it was crazy. So we are definitely isolating ourselves as much as possible. They broke up a house party maybe a half hr from me...and I just can't believe the stupidity of people..

Answer

I don't know what to think at this point.

Answer

My best friend's neighbor just died from covid 19... and now the daughter is having the start of the fever.
We are not leaving the house. I volunteered to be the shopper, always wearing the mask and gloves if I need to shop for required weekly needs. Directly take a shower at in the bathroom nearest to the back door. Washing hair, and also ready a dipping bucket with soap with antiseptic for all the clothes I wore to the supermarket. 
No one else leaves the house but me... i know myself and how determine i am to stick to my own standards of procedure. We are also keeping my child away from my parents because a child can be a carrier without showing symptoms
I wanna see each one of my family alive and well after this plague has passed. I wanna see my parents grow old age, and see my child's graduation... 15 years away from now... i wanna hold my husband's hand in our 40th 50th 60th wedding anniversary... maybe 70th.
I am not worried, i just take this seriously, as this virus is a serious matter. I strictly practice social distancing so that other families can also see their loved one beyond this pandemic.
Goodluck all. Let's do what is right for the sake of each other and the future of mother earth.

Answer

I would click on all of those answers if I could - I feel every single one of those. I’m not worried because I don’t let worry & fear control me. This is something we unfortunately cannot control so I just focus on what I can. I am so incredibly sad for all the people losing their jobs & of course getting sick. All the kids who’s school days were the only structure in their life, my heart breaks. My husband’s work is an essential business (automotive group), so he is still working 12 hour days. I’m grateful because he is the only one who works for our family of 5, but irritated because I know eventually he is going to get sick, which in turn so will I and our children. I do think it’s blown out of proportion with all these “stay inside! Don’t leave your house! Hide for coveerrrr” antics. It’s not the end of the world & peoples mental & physical health is a very real thing and it’s ok to go run around your local trail. A zombie foaming out the mouth with covid—19 is not going to chase you down. I’ve also gotten the swine flu when that was a thing & recovered. People are dying, but they’re also dying in car accidents and we’re still driving. Its not a death sentence. So there it is, allllll the emotions lol. Typical.

Answer

I'm more at the acceptance stage (maybe because I work in a hospital so it's basically inevitable I'll be sick at some point). At this point most people are probably going to get some symptoms from it whether it just be a cough and fever or whether it's full blown pneumonia and going to the ICU. I'm kind of just at the point where if I get it then I get it. 🤷 What I think is blown out of proportion is the panicking. So many people are panicking and treating this like an apocalypse and calling this a "death sentence" if you catch it which isn't necessarily true. It's unpredictable which can be scary but also hopeful because nothing is certain. I just wish everyone would stop panicking while still practicing good hygiene and social distancing. I'm more worried about the panicking than anything.

Answer

I’m not really worried about getting it I’m more worried about what’s happening with peoples jobs because of it. Financially it’s had a huge affect on people. My husband is still working luckily but some of my friends are suffering financially.

Answer

I’m not worried and it’s way over hyped. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The crap that we are dealing with at work over it is exhausting.

Answer

It is serious, but I am not panicking. I am taking every precaution I can and controlling things within my own sphere of influence (hygiene, staying inside as much as possible, wearing gloves if I have to go grocery shopping, wiping down all products that come into the house, etc). 
The health and economic implications of this are both very concerning. I am worried about both.
