COVID-19 Coronavirus and Lung Health: What can you do?

I have to respectfully disagree. What my kids are learning from this is that as a country, we can band together to protect our weakest citizens and make small personal sacrifices for the greater good. Yes, some people are panicking but my kids are not. They are figuring out how to adapt to an unpredictable situation and take care of each other and their neighbors. As parents, I think that the example we set is important. The example that I am setting is to be calm and follow the advice of experts. Of course, it helps that my kids are all college educated and my daughter could explain the micro biology of coronaviruses to us.

It is clear that you have nice kids.
The base is not education (although that helps in opening minds to ideas, etc.) it is the empathy that healthy well grounded people posers that will stand our country in good stead. Empathy is what separates sociopaths from those that care about the impact they have on others. Cheers for the good people among us - that is the very great majority. The apple usually does't fall far from the tree.

So true, love thy neighbors! Before this whole thing exploded, I have been taking my 80 years old neighbor to the doctors and grocery store or just need to because she no longer drive. Uber is expensive! She lives alone and her siblings are far away. Since my son will do my grocery shopping if necessary, I told her to start making a list too and my son will get them for her. My children are worried about me and we stayed informed from the right sources, there are so much misinformation out there. Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true.
