To wonder how often most people are thinking about Coronavirus?

[Isla727]

Just that really!

I have an anxiety disorder so I imagine I am thinking about it a bit too much!! How much of your time is occupied thinking about or planning for Coronavirus?

Not a lot to be honest

I plan a number of events and have about 15 in the next 3 months so i keep checking whether i will need to cancel but at the moment it is carry on as normal

Thats it

Very little.

I have anxiety but I have managed to rationalise pretty well that in the grand scheme of issues in life for me and close family and friends at the moment this isn’t a big enough risk at the moment to worry too much.

But having just been to Costco and seeing everyone with trolleys full of toilet roll then I’m guessing your far from alone with being worried

Quite a lot.

I'm not obsessively worried but diabetics have a massive death rate (7%, higher than even elderly people) so I know it will hit me hard if I get it.

The fact that other people are constantly mentioning it means it is on my mind a lot.

There have been a few cases in my region, I know someone in my next village was tested because rubberneckers posted pics of health professionals going in fully gowned and gloved up.

Please put this into the correct topic, OP.

Report and ask for this to be moved to the Corona board.

Wasn't thinking much about it at all until I got ill with a nasty cold and realised my asthma inhaler prescription had gone old and started thinking how bad that would be if I got Covid and only found out then. Had to go to the doctor this morning to get a new prescription and be checked out and was worried about coughing in the waiting room in case I made anyone paranoid. And a bit bemused at the doctor holding out his hand to shake my hand, surely they would not do that at the moment?? Told him it's a bad idea.

Quite a lot at the moment as I’m considering taking advantage of cheap flights to book a holiday in Europe next month, but generally not much!

Health anxiety is a misery - I hope you’re ok OP and managing not to ruminate too much!

Quite a lot, DH has a serious heart condition and is therefore acutely at risk. Also having to decide whether to delay his next round of surgery as being in a weakened state post major surgery for the next 3-4 months is probably not going to help his chances.

Carrying on with the day to day, kids at school, we are both at work but working from and home and limiting use of public transport as much as possible.
