@jolears You have a point. I think the media has also helped cause much more panic than needed. I'm not saying Corona Virus is anything to overlook, but it is a big newsmaker and the media will use it and milk it for as long as they can hook audiences.

I thank you for your encouragement however when a person is age 82, has 3 autoimmune diseases, diabetes 2 and a few (or more diseases) then that person or persons must be very cautious. So for these people it is a matter of life or death. I am remaining calm and keeping as busy (in my home) as I can until. I thank all of the many of us here at the Mayo for helping and encouraging. With love, Peach

@alamogal635- Aside from the media there are facts being published by reliable sources that will keep you informed about the information that you should heed if possible. Be safe, I know that you will.

I agree. It is so difficult to separate the politics....which is uglier by the day......and the reality. I am trying to get information from this site, CDC, my state website for the virus, some of the programs on C span, and try not to get caught up in the unhelpful posturing by the politicians and the media. The media will certainly sensationalize this as much as they can, and the politicians will use it for their own selfish ends. I hope the scientists and health care professionals working on this are unfettered and are allowed to do what they do best.
