I’m scared. I’ve read about epidemics and pandemics. I’ve seen movies and TV episodes about viral outbreaks. I know this has happened before in history, and humanity as a whole survived, and we have better medical science and technology now than we’ve ever had before. But I’m still scared.

I am sure humanity will survive this. We’ve survived worse. I am not at high risk and I’m being very careful. But I’m still scared.
