He's been hospitalized a few times when he was younger for respiratory issues, tho not for years now. I also have two 65+ parents, aunts & uncles, friends with health issues, etc.

My concerns are:

- for the health of my loved ones

- the economic fallout from this. We're in a global economy with a global disease making the rounds right now. This is already set into motion.

- the fact that our federal government has basically done the equivalent of "pray on it" says that they are NOT trying to contain this disease, because it's probably not possible.

- No plan now means absolute clusterfuck if SHTF.

- the fact that it's a 'novel' virus, which means that it's something that none of us has ever been exposed to before, so even the smartest doctor in the world doesn't know how this will end

- The censorship and lack of information that I see on the news right now. "Everything is fine. It's just the flu. It's okay. Keep picking that cotton..."
