She’s only in her mid 50’s and is in excellent health, but this is scary shit nonetheless.

your going to worry. So will she. Just try to focus in on the facts. This is just a new version of the flu. She’s in excellent health. It will run its course like every other flu she or you have ever had. No one in excellent health before catching the virus has been hospitalized in the USA.
What’s not normal is how it’s spread. Remember SARS a few years ago? It caused symptoms right away. This virus can remain dormant for 10 days without symptoms. That’s why it’s a pandemic risk to all of us. But, again, don’t focus on a worse case scenerio, keep telling yourself this over and over, she’s in excellent health to tolerate a case of the flu.
