Wuhan Flu Anxiety

[keptainicandozatt]

Lately, the news have been abuzz in regards to the Wuhan Flu pneumonia that's been going around,and it's making me crazy anxious. I don't know why. I think it's because I'm located in Southeast Asia and there's also three people who has contracted the flu. I'm terrified - I legitimately panicked just now taking the train because I saw everyone in masks. I'm trying not to look at the news, but's proving to be impossible. I feel so jittery and anxious right now. I'm generally ALWAYS anxious about falling sick, so this is just really tough for me.

Mmmm yes, it keeps coming to my mind also. My husband is going on a diving holiday to Bali and I think what if he gets it AND brings it home with him lol.

Try not to watch the news as it's always alarmist and go about you business takkng precautions of hand sanitizing etc

Thank you! I've stopped checking Facebook and I also muted the news on Twitter, just so I don't make myself crazy anxious!

Good thing is that you can’t get this from out of thin air, you’d have to contract it from someone who has it so just simply wearing a mask when out in public, washing your hands in warm water and soap before touching your face, and trying to stay out of the public will GREATLY reduce your chances of getting it by a lot. It also has me freaked out but I know all I have to do is take protective measures and just hope for the best (:

It is a scary thought. We've had these scares before with other things, like Ebola etc.

This is flu season for a lot of us so we should be taking some precautions anyway.

Let's 🙏 we all stay well.
