I wish I couldn't be nervous, but as I mentioned in another thread, my mom hardly washes her hands and never uses hand sanitizer. I am afraid she will catch the coronavirus and unknowingly give it to my 88 year old grandma. Now that is scary, since most of the reported deaths were elderly people. I don't want my grandma to die from something horrible as coronavirus. (Well, it isn't so horrible for 80% of the people who catch it, but you know what I mean.) She gave her a bunch of colds in the past from not washing her hands or using hand sanitizer. I wish my mom would be smart about it, but she doesn't seem to learn. She just keeps doing the same thing over and over and over again.

If I am honest, my mom's ignorance kind of irritates me. Nearly every cold is preventable if you wash your hands and use hand sanitizer before touching your face. I know coronavirus also spreads through virus droplets in the air, but usually you get sicknesses from touching infected objects. But no, she doesn't seem to understand that basic principle. I know she has gone days without washing her hands. Frustrating.
