It's okay to be AWARE. It's okay to even be prepared and take self-care precautionary actions. What's not okay is to panic as if this is the worst thing to happen and could lead into human extinction to which the media been hyping it up as if it is. Little news isn't even reported on the growing rate of people recovering from the virus. There's just be a voice quelling the concerns rather than a full fledged panic. It is more irresponsible trying to overreact.

So would you rather be a survivor, or never get it in the first place?
You precaution yourself by doing like you supposed to be doing to begin with when avoiding any kind of airborne virus. How is this any different? If you are living a clean, healthy lifestyle and avoid or prepare yourself from people or areas that are congested, sick and/or unsanitary. At the very least build up your immune system. Things that you should be doing ANYWAY.
In our general everyday lives we do things that make preventing the transmission of disease impossible.
Don’t matter how many vitamins you take you sit on a plane with a person with Coronavirus, you might get it, and the majority of people walking around with it are not showing symptoms.
This is why all these extra precautions are needed and it’s important that people know the potential of the virus.
Your normal everyday precautions are not enough.
And again.... MILLIONS of people get the flu yearly. Tens of thousands die from the flu annually. Nobody cared then about that and accepted the likelihood of at one point getting the flu, especially during flu season. Instead they do what they supposed to do to try their best to prevent themselves from getting sick in GENERAL. But suddenly Coronavirus emerged (again during the flu season), we going to panic rather than continue what you BEEN doing to avoid from getting sick? What sense does that make?
Keep in mind, as all studies show, the likelihood of it being fatal is no DIFFERENT from that of the regular flu, no matter how so-called "vicious" that fear mongers want to claim. Out of all the fatalities from this virus that happened in the United States have ALL BEEN OVER 70 YEARS OLD OR OLDER or PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAD HEALTH COMPLICATIONS. The majority of the rest are dealing with it no different from that of the flu with a high rate of recovery like that of the flu... the only tru difference is that it lingers longer which makes it more contagious for others to get it. But again, there's nothing you should be doing different from what you should of been doing to begin with.
With that said, HOW MANY OF YOU are going to line up for vaccination?

The greatest problem at the moment is not how many people get infected, nor how many die, but how many need intensive care. They need to be attached to the respiratory machines for a long period of time, several weeks. Most of them get out, but they put a huge stress on the healthcare system.
In Italy around 10% of the infected need intensive care. The hospitals in Lombardy are already full and the number of people needing intensive care continues to grow.

The fact you are both healthy is good. If neither of you smoke thatMost definitely. The timing on this feels too coincidental, so while I'm expecting the worst, I'm still keeping cool and ready to fight it. Neither of us have health issues or a history of any respiratory issues, so I think we'll be able to sav it out.
Told her anything she needs I got her, and to take as much time off work as necessary.
Gone rep y'all soon as this site lets me again.
this. These comparisons of covid-19!to the regular flu are just bad on several levels.

@gluvnast the experience of suffering covid19 and suffering a regular flu is not that similar. For arguments sake let’s pretend the symptoms are the same.
If that were the case, it would still be an awful thing to have this many people getting sick in the world, at the same time, at this rate of speed.
Hell if the common cold was spreading at this rate all over the world it would cause a lot of problems.
People keep saying the flu kills more people as if dying or not is the only thing that matters here.
If there were a vaccine that had gone through the appropriate FDA trials, etc, I would absolutely get one. I had a terrible H1N1 flu once, and I’ve gotten the vaccine ever since. Doesn’t mean I can’t get a flu strain but not having the full blown flu in a long time has been great.
