I sympathize with your situation. I hope things get better for you soon. The media has a way of focusing people on everything negative. All the articles are on corona virus. You'd think everyone has it based on how many articles are on it. I don't know a single person who has had it still. It is not all the prevalent in my area. I think it is bizarre how they decided to treat small cities and rural areas the same as NYC. We aren't packed in like sardines where I live, so diseases like this aren't going to spread as much. The government has no good plan here. Their response was botched, but they'll never admit to that. They'll say they saved lives. In the end, I bet the same amount of people will die of it whether they intervened like they did or not. We have to open things up soon. There's already been a lot of disruption to the supply chain. People are out of work. How can they take care of themselves without money? It's kind of the way everything is setup and we aren't solving that particular problem anytime soon.

It does feel like a dystopian world now.

Social media and news agencies have definitely fed the fear that a lot of people feel. People are very scared. Many seem to think the virus has a 99.99% death rate. Yesterday I read an article on how the virus manifests itself. It made me panic for an instant, until I realized it was describing severe illness only. Not all people who contract the virus get that ill.

When a cold or stomach virus makes it way through a household, everybody reacts differently. Some people don't get sick, others get mildly sick or severely ill. It depends on a lot of different factors. This virus is the same.

I haven't seen anyone, besides my two housemates since March 13th. I am going nuts.
