my nom was telling me about how to wash my hands since I pay by cash. I don't have credit or debit card soooo
Ya my store completely sold out as well. Also lots of customers wearing gloves and face masks
I'm gonna sound stupid but why is everyone starting to buy stuff now and not earlier or later? Did something really bad happen that I'm not aware of?
I bought hand sanatizer, wet wipes and other stuff today since everyone else was

So...my kitchen floor has 3 boxes of udon and instant noodles since my mom is like that. :/
Also, I get looks from people on the street and I'm like ._. Are you concerned about me?starstruck by my beautiful self? Trying not to take pictures of my hideous face. To be fair, I'm a bit sick so...I can see how people are looking at me a ton. :}

I hate the hysteria. This is obviously artificial panic, and yet, while I understand, I'm not immune to it.
There's only one thing that really scares me: if something was to happen to my wife. If anything happens to her, I'm a wreck. This is the worst thing that can happen. And while I work from home, she has to take metro everyday. It makes me anxious. This virus thing has already wrecked my holiday plans. I'm tired of the world going nuts. It's been a really bad year so far and I feel exhausted.
Sorry for venting there.

Okay, some of the freak-out is getting a little insane- especially in countries that have not been affected to the degree of other countries. Concern in countries such as China, Japan, the middle east, etc? Of course.
But Canada and here in the United States? It seems a little... I don't know, ridiculous. Especially when those in power over here are telling us to panic. It would make the most sense to block unnecessary travel to countries at high risk for Coronavirus- here and anywhere else. Countries with blocked borders/flights are less likely to aid in spreading the virus anyway.
I guess we'll just have to see where all this goes.

cursed but cute.
i can kind of see both sides of the argument; on one hand, most of this could be avoided if people just took common steps you're SUPPOSED to take during cold and flu (and the rest of the year, really) season in order to prevent the spread of illness. and most countries don't have to worry about much of anything. hell, even with there being a confirmed case in my state, as long as you're not somewhere that the disease is actively spreading, you're likely fine, and most of this is fearmongering.
however, i am also filled with anxiety that my internet friends are going to disappear without me realizing and i'll think they're ghosting me when something seriously wrong happened. and a lot of people are so dumb or just laizes-faire that if the cdc and who DIDN'T play it up, they wouldn't do any preparation at all and spread would be MUCH worse. so, preparations are a good idea. me, i've got hand sanitizer, antibacterial hand soap, and i'm kind of a hermit. so even if there's the first confirmed case in my state, i'm most likely going to be fine unless it spreads to my county.
also, a general health tip for everyone: do you know "welcome to the black parade" by my chemical romance? if so, sing from "when i was a young boy" to "will you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned" while washing your hands. it'll be 20 seconds of hand washing, which... i can't remember if it's what the cdc or who recommends or both? but either way, that's much more useful than counting and possibly messing up, or starting a timer on your phone and possibly getting your phone wet.

most have apparently been in northern italy..? which i guess is good that they get it from there and aren't infected here but still. stop going to italy, or if you go don't come home, PLEASE.
Hello from Northern Italy! Luckily in my city we just have 3-4 (confirmed) cases. My grandparents are really careful about going out, and they don't even hug me now! I'm glad they understand the danger.
To my European friends - please be careful and follow good hygiene practice.

Just for the record the world isn?t going to end from coronavirus. Ebola virus was a million times worse in 2015 and we managed to contain it. If you catch Coronavirus you?ll feel absolutely awful but if you?re in good health and are youthful you?ll be perfectly fine with time.
Most of the deaths that have occurred so far are because of people that were elderly and already had underlying health issues. Practice good hygiene and get some hand sanitizer if you can. Cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze and don?t get too close around strangers (that should go without saying).
