In these cases I try not to get too worried because of the media, but now I'm actually getting a bit worried, because now it came also to my country...not exactly where I live, but near. Plus, I'm "strange" and I worry more about "what if I have to stay home for a long time and can't work?" than for my health...

They said on the news “U.S is preparing for global pandemic” and I kinda want to go stock up on food today. I did finally get my flu shot at least.

I was searching my periodically 'Infection Control Nurse" brain, reading CDC etal and wondering a bit about the urgency of the coverage vs flu coverage.
But, epidemiologically, this is a great opportunity for the world health community to both limit the spread of a virus but to also pull out stops and Practice the measures they have developed over the (relatively 'safe') years. After all, it is only a matter of time (whether this generation or following...tomorrow or in 4 years...) before a virus as virulent as the 1918 flu (or other) decimates a good portion of the population (more now than ever before with travel options etc) if we are not well prepared and ready to implement necessary health measures. (...my mother was sent to a tb sanatorium as a child...and I am old enough to remember that I wasn't allowed to go to the pool because of Polio, and some kids had metal braces on their legs to be able to walk...iron lungs) __________________ "...don't say Home / the bones of that word mend slowly...' marie harris |

This is getting really scary. I’m thinking of going to the store and stocking up on food and water. My mom says the media is just scaring people.

I went to the store today. I bought 2 huge cases of water. Toilet paper. 2 boxes of cat litter. Cat food. Non perishables. Bottled tea. And yogurt. I have a crippling anxiety disorder and one of my triggers is getting sick. I am very worried. Other people at the store were giving me mixed messages. Some seemed like they were stocking up. Other people seemed like they were doing there normal Saturday shopping. No one was in panic mode though.

One nice thing about being so depressed is I don’t care at all about my catching this virus.

My uncle sent me a Facebook message tonight that he spent $550 at the grocery store today. So people are stocking up. I thought I was being a weirdo.
My uncle has never really tried communicating with me before so the message was actually kind of nice. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Well, the corona virus is spreading in the USA too. I’m leaving to go to another country which has problems with it too but people are still going to work. I will take precautions and be careful. Life continues as the world has its problems. I must say I am a type of person who persists and won’t let the corona virus situation affect me until something happens to me. People are panicking and stockpiling. Well, if the world comes to an end, please inform me!
