All I can think about is this virus that's going around. It is in my town right now and so far 4 people have found to be positive with this virus. I am afraid to go shopping. I won't even spend time with my family. My mom has invited me to go and spend time with her, and she is a widow. But I won't do it. I won't let anyone touch me. I am obsessed with washing my hands every second of the day. My hands are starting to crack. I am healthy physically right now. But mentally I think I'm going to have a breakdown. I keep getting news about so many people dying and how the death toll is increasing. I took the trash out and some stuff flew in my face. That freaks me out. I washed my face but I know that if I end up with a virus, washing it won't stop it. I don't know what advice you can give me. But any encouraging or advice will be helpful. Thank you very much.

You're 40 years old and physically healthy, even if you do get it, staying at home and toughing it out just might work for you. But that all depends on if you even get the virus, which if you live alone and are stocked up on stuff shouldn't easily happen. If you go outside, don't touch your face. Once you're inside, wash your hands and you should be good. We're going to get through this. Just social distance when you can, wash your hands, and don't touch your face. Hopefully it'll be over before we know it. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWII is not that long ago. Millions were displaced and refugees. Look at some of the old video documentaries and get a feel for the peoples' panic and plight. Then read about the Japanese sport in China where they killed 300,000 just for fun. They posted the results of this 'competition' frequently. Truly horrific. Check out the many despots and their terrible ways this last century and see how awful life was for ordinary people. We need to get things in focus and in a correct relationship to our current fears. Humans have often had terrible things happen. Even so, there is much reported decency and sacrifice during these times. We need to get a grip on ourselves, be grateful and use our heads in an unselfish way. After all, as a Christian, our lives are not our own... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, try to stay at least six feet away from people. It isn't always possible, and it's no big deal if you get closer than that. But if you do get closer than that, be aware if someone sneezes or coughs, because that will sent out droplets of liquid that could have the virus. And take care of yourself so your immune system stays strong - get enough to eat, stay well rested, and keep comfortably warm. Smoking will make your lungs more vulnerable to the virus, I think. And stop worrying. Edited March 31, 2020 by johnthebaptist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
