guys this coronavirus has my anxiety through the roof. I'm terrified. I'm irish. and it's just freaking me out that what if it comes here and how bad is it. is it as bad as they are saying. please guys help give me some advice. I have a five year old little boy and I'm absolutely terrified. keep seeing and reading things on the news about it. having no cure or vaccines for it. petrified. my little boy I'm more worried about than anything. trying to protect him 😔😪 I literally could cry right now
I understand how you’re feeling, but please try to relax about this. 99% of the patients are still in China . like any other virus, it’s important to wash your hands frequently and avoid touching doorknobs, etc. when out in public. Keep hand sanitizer in your car. there is no need to panic. keep your immune system strong by eating healthy foods.
most deaths from these types of illnesses occur in older people who have health issues like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure,. It’s the same group of people who are at risk of dying from the flu.
use The same precautions you would use when the flu is going around. Everything‘s gonna be OK.
thank u for replying jan. I probably shouldn’t panic but the news freaks me right out. I dont know whether it’s all propaganda or not but I tend to take these il eases to heart and it’s my little boy I’m more worried about. I’m given him a daily vitamin and making sure his eating healthy. I guess that’s all I can do. But i think mothers tend to worry so much about there kids. I’d be so scared of anything happening to him. I’m so protective of him his my little angel. I’d be lost without him. his my best friend and keeps me going when I’m down. sorry for ranting. some people say that whats on the news is just scare mongering but I don’t know xx
I completely understand. I raised three of my own kids and always worried about them and still do!
when I get really worried about something like that, I learned to do fact checking.
so for this issue it would be something like …
- 99% Of cases are in China
- there are over 7 billion people in the world. What are the odds we will get it?
- people are currently being quarantined to contain the virus.
4I am taking all the precautions I possibly can
5many healthy people who got the virus are doing OK now.
take care and do some fun things with your little boy so that you’re not thinking about this constantly.
