I confess…I am a germaphobe. This means the media is sending my anxiety into overtime with their coverage of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). However, as severe as my germaphobia is, I am trying to use logic when approaching this matter. Here are a few of my thoughts…….
More people are affected by Influenza than Coronavirus, yet we don’t hear too much about those losing their lives to Influenza other than “get a flu shot”.
The media is sending people into a panic. People are running out stocking up on Lysol, sanitizer, and even toilet paper. Weren’t you buying these things before this? I certainly hope so! I hope you were already washing your hands! Scrub those hands people!!
Also, the media is telling you to stay at home, yet they continue to travel and take their cruises….hmmm…..
Another thought: I have heard of so many people during this flu season say that they tested negative for the flu but were experiencing flu like symptoms. Do you think maybe they had Coronavirus, but we weren’t testing for that yet? We weren’t being sent into a panic by the media yet, so do you think it is possible? Could it be that you have already come in contact with someone carrying the virus and you don’t even know it?
Although it makes me nervous to even think about (especially with my husband traveling so much for work), I am going to try not to let the fear control me. I am going to continue taking my Elderberry and Vitamin C, scrubbing my hands, and most importantly praying over this situation.
What do you think?
