Wow. So irrational and unhealthy. You really need to focus on logic and rational thinking. If you encounter fear, responding with “oh I’m fearful too therefore what we are fearful of must be logical” doesn’t help others nor yourself. It is negatively self serving because it allows you to avoid challenging the reasons you are fearful. It’s a defense against challenging your own thoughts or reality on the topic. Try slowing down and actually thinking about the things you come across. How do they compare to other sources? Do they make sense? Is there something that potentially counters a certain point or idea that would give a more complete picture? |

99% of the the best we have in the medical field think social distancing, quarantine of known outbreak is our best choice out of all the bad choices we have. The vast majority of us are cooperating. Right now, tonight, this is the best we can do. Just try to concentrate on that. |

I can't stay inside due to my job, but I can wash my hands. That's about all the control I have over this, and I understand that.

Getting anxiety under control will not happen with the help of this thread. That’s just the way it is. That task had to be done separately from here. But that doesn’t mean you should avoid the topic. But what it does mean is your purpose for engaging in the topic has to have a more tempered approach meaning it needs to be more about simply gaining information so you are up to date and informed on the topic. That’s it. Gravitating one way or the other is stressful and anxiety provoking in itself. But engaging for the simple sake of being informed is going to work better for you. But certain things probably should be avoided such as any upsetting videos or the very personal stories because your mind will likely be looking for personal connections to yourself or your family. Focus on research, stats, or dive deep into the science as well. |

I went out today for groceries.
I went to four Ralphs supermarkets and two Super Targets. The shelves were pretty much bare everywhere and the refrigerated cases were completely empty at four of the five locations I visited. Fortunately, between all of the stores, I was able to stock up a bit on Lipton Noodle Soup, buns, bread, hot dogs and pasta, along with a few other treats for my kids. Still, not a single roll of TP, anywhere to be found. I spoke to the managers of each and every store and they all said "We have trucks coming but we don't know when or what the trucks will deliver". The lack of food is definitely worrying. |
