@atomicspacebunny Indeed, it’s all very scary.
And there’s good money to be made in making us all feel even more scared than is productive.
Let’s encourage ourselves to stick to the facts and not let all this germ-phobia mindset drive us nuts. After all, we’re INUNDATED in bacteria and viruses … all the time.
There are more individual bacteria riding along in our digestive systems than we have of our own human cells in our entire body.
What to do?!?
Maintain a healthy body - as much as possible - including as healthy an immune system as one can maintain.
Meanwhile, for the sake of others less robust, practice good hygiene - perhaps even wearing a mask in public if there’s any chance you may be a carrier. Symptomatic or not. [That was my still-agnostic tip of the hat to @CaptainKirk

But let’s not lose sight of the realities vs. the science fiction promoted by those with a buck to make (clicks, views, advertising, products, political agendas, etc.)
Just my $0.02 (which pales by comparison to $2.2 trillion)
