[Just one aspect of this]
Wednesday, 11 March 2020 14:24And I’ll get to the traveling and cruising aspects tomorrow per my Cruise Critic blogs.
My dad has been on me to get a mask...to ask “nicely” when I go to the drugstore. They are sold out, they’re sold out online. I really do not want to take a mask away from someone who legit needs one.I am so uncomfortable with the idea. Anything that will protect you from this is not available because people are hoarding it.Even toilet paper.Do people really think that this is an apocalypse? This has me SMH so much.
Am I going to stay home and not go anywhere?No.As a matter of fact, I think becoming a shut in/agoraphobe is the WORST thing that you can do. I base my level of anxiety by how many people I see wearing masks when I am out in public and, quite frankly,I am not seeing a lot of people wearing them.
Am I worried? Short answer, most days, not really.Yes, I do have two pre-existing conditions(diabetes and high blood pressure).That could be a problem.But otherwise,no,not really.I was more worried when the Ebola virus was in the U.S. and with a few years’ realisation understand that the CDC were on it.
Now we get to the main point that I want to make:
Information.Or DISinformation as the case may be. And there are a LOT of news sources-looking at YOU, CNN!) This morning they had a press conference with the World Health Organisation and they were putting it out there. Their info is probably the most up to date-and correct. Can’t stand that the TV news networks that will not now be named take that information and spin it-incorrrectly.
