Are any of you worried about getting it even though you don't fall under the criteria of those that need to be worried?
Serious questions.
I'll ask again in a week too.
Not panicked. Concerned about how my family might be impacted. Don't want to get it but can't live in a cocoon. Am mostly worried about my mom who is at risk and what I would do about walking my dog if I needed to quarantine.
"Be assured, money will not be an obstacle in us curbing this situation"
SOCIALIIIIIISSSSSMMMMM
That's what everyone says when they are spending other people's $
"other peoples"
Get a better point of view on what a society is.
Hahaha, mostly kidding. But the reality is there is a fine balance here because destroying the economy will have negative effects on a lot of people as well. So I do not envy the leaders making these decisions. It's not a simple as some want people to believe, and they do not have enough info really, so it's their best guess. I hope the guesses are more right then wrong.
When the World Heath Org and CDC say this is now categorized as a "Pandemic" leaders need to follow well established guidelines to protect the public. There is no guessing ... no maybe ... no what ifs.. The WHO and CDC made that pretty clear with the designation change.
Really? so tell me why everywhere in the US is doing it differently then?
There is plenty of guessing as to what is too much how many people are too many...etc
Exactly.. Welcome to the USA! Where healthcare is profit driven by many many corporations. Coordinating and trying to make nation-wide guidelines that are immediately observed by all providers is going to be extremely difficult. In countries where they have universal healthcare you can at least have a Central Command that covers everyone and every care provider etc..
Even Pelosi unintentially explained our system recently,... when she said, "We are going to make testing affordable" ... she quickly re-worded the statement. Affordable?

Not panicking. I kinda hope I get it and get over it sooner than later. I do worry about some family and friends with health issues...Maybe we youngsters should all go on a two week “infectious cruise”, and purposely catch it and get through it so that we can come back and help those more at risk of serious complications? There’s a good chance we’re all going to get it at some point anyways...

That's a South Park episode
Lol, true, but it makes more sense than buying bulk toilet paper or trying to avoid the public for the next few months. I would rather get it now than when 90% of the population has it.

Not panicking but definitely taking it seriously. Just following all the precautions the WHO say to. I’m low on hand sanitizer though and can’t find any anywhere. The girl at Rite Aid told me even their warehouse is just about out of it.

Not panicking. I and several people in my family have a chronic respiratory condition, which makes it a bit more uncertain, but I’m otherwise really healthy. I assume I’ll get the virus at some point as I work in health care so we’ll see how I do. From a purely scientific point of view I’m morbidly curious, watching this all unfold. I’m concerned about my mother, though, as she’s getting more frail.
And although I’d love to retire soon, realistically it’s another 10 years plus before I do, so I’m assuming the market will recover by then.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

Hand sanitizer is not going to do a ton of good against an airborne virus...but is good for the skin I guess...

Kind of hard to believe we don't have anyone freaking out and that is good.
I have a very sick Aunt in the hospital whom I go see but am afraid to get close because I travel frequently into the city. I've been using the purell stations and using the 6' rule.
Death panels starting in Italy. They don't have the resources to treat everybody. They are prioritizing those with the best chance of survival. In other words, the elderly, and people with comorbidities, will not receive the treatment they need.

Is that what a death panel is though?
No. But I'm sure that's what the GOP will call it. Right before they try to blame the libs.
So far the coronavirus has cost me 3 Pearl Jam concerts With friends and family and a ncaa tournament trip with my dad. Not to mention a spring break girls trip for my wife and daughter. And a few other big deals for my family I don’t care to mention specifically.
im concerned about the health of a few specific people close to me. And sad for those who have been effected in the most awful way. This is just all bad. And no joke, the world needs to figure out how to hold China accountable for their continued nonsense
I have owned a tiny "underground" Alt rock/punk bar on 3rd street in La Crosse wisconsin since 1990 and cant remember a public health crisis like this that has made me think i may be forced to close up shop in order to protect the health of patrons & my staff (mostly Me,wife & our eldest college student child).It really sucks to live in an era that we cant trust the word of our elected officials as they are ALL using this situation as a political football.When i started my bar at 25 we hadnt even heard of PJ yet & our iconic cd jukebox played the beloved regional stuff that we bought at the independent record Shop (Deaf Ear record exchange)across the street like Husker Du,The replacements,Soul Asylum,the Bo Deans,v femmes & older stuff like N.Young,Petty,Hendrix,Sabbath.I only found out about the Seattle bands that would change american music culture forever when D.Ear owner Alex was putting up new posters in his shop.After putting up a Sound Garden poster he gave me the Soul Asylum poster he had just taken down that i still have on display.D Pirner & co.later signed when they stopped by on their way through town in their beat up old van on the way to a 1991 gig in Illinois. Soul Asylum was ready to hang it up and get real jobs at that time as they had been dropped by their label but then shortly after Nirvana, Pearl Jam & sound garden broke national the whole rock n roll industry changed,they were resigned and hit the bigtime..Back then G.H bush was potus and while i wasnt a big fan as a typical wisconsin moderate dem i thought he was at least "somewhat of a man of integrity". It saddens me to think How far our portion of the north american village has fallen to not be able to believe anything at all coming from our elected officials in DC regarding this serious situation that may force me to close up the tavern that supports my family of 5.

Stop buying Chinese products. And sorry for your losses, travel expense wise. Hope you’re not out dollars. It sucks but this too shall pass, hopefully.

Damn right they should. Did you watch this video someone posted last night? There’s some communities in China that are pretty much incapable of NOT spreading diseases/viruses
I'm panicking about how everyone else is panicking.
And I'm panicking about your panicking.

Yeah, not panicked but definitely concerned on many levels.
Personally, my health is below snuff and while I'm within walking distance of my hospital/doctor, I imagine it, like most hospitals, are swamped moreso than usual. All I can do is take precautions and hope my mom (89) and husband (two lung surgeries) do the same.

Good luck with your aunt. I might have a family member who could be at higher risk but it’s tough to know for sure.
with a lot of things shutting down today- NCAAs, St Patty’s Parade, SUNY & CUNY schools, maybe it’s time to shut all the schools down and all the sports leagues. Why are the kids going to school if major things are shutting down? Seems risky now for any school superintendent to keep the districts open in light of this.
A few people have said better to get it sooner than later. I thought the same. I'm low risk. I could travel. However, the catch phrase this afternoon is FLATTEN THE CURVE. This means I should postpone my trip so I don't expose my community when I return. Also, good advice I got here today on the forum was later might be better if meds are made to prevent illness graduating to pneumonia.
I prepared with travel N95 respirators and Clorax wipes for the airplane. I have enough food, soap, bleach and tp to sustain 14 days at home. I also have hand sanitizer for the car.
Not panicking: preparing and making educated decisions.

Wait so this isn’t Trumps fault?
The US system is under the gun, and clearly the administration is doing everything it can to minimize. Our overly complex system, rules for denying care, can come back and bite anyone in power who defends the status quo. If fatalities get bad in the US (and geez, shouldn’t it already be), stories like the below will be prominent after the fact. Turning away potential victims. And even if 80% of this virus is mild and undetectable, it’s still much much deadlier than the flu:
” Matt McNamara, 46, was concerned when he developed a sore throat, cough and fever last Friday.
“Those were the three things that were markers for me to say this is definitely different,” he told Yahoo News.
McNamara is a field operations manager at Spectrum and drives for Uber on weekends, so he was concerned about showing up to work sick and possibly infecting others. After going to Adirondack Urgent Care in Queensbury, N.Y., he tested negative for seasonal influenza and was told he had an unknown virus before being sent home.
But after reading that a pharmacist at a local CVS where he shops had tested positive for COVID-19, McNamara wondered why he hadn’t been tested for coronavirus himself and decided to follow up with the urgent care unit.
The frustrating response he received gives an insight into the experience of many Americans who are seeking the tests, which continue to be in limited supply despite reassurances from the Trump administration.
“They said, ‘Well, we didn’t test you because, No. 1, we don’t test for it here. You’d have to go somewhere else,’” McNamara recounted. “‘But we didn’t recommend any testing because you did not meet the CDC’s criteria of having traveled outside the country to a known nation or place that has it, and you also have not been in contact with anybody who has it.’”
Still concerned, McNamara said he followed up with the Warren County Health Services. But they also told him he did not meet the CDC’s criteria for testing.
J'nelle Oxford, public health program coordinator at Warren County Health Services, told Yahoo News, “It's still cold and virus season,” and symptoms of coronavirus alone are currently not grounds for coronavirus testing. She said they are still prioritizing those who are “high risk” and “high exposure,” including those who had been to a country with a level 2 or level 3 travel health noticeor in close contact with someone who has been diagnosed with coronavirus.

wow....Ever seen Trump look like this? Body language says a ton!!! He addresses the nation tonight..
