[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering if I should drive down and get my mother from Kissimmee. She lives in one of those over 55 communities. I don’t think the residents there are taking this seriously.[/quote]

Ask your mom what she wants.  I’m over 55, and can make my own decisions about this....those being what Dr Fauci is recommending.  I don’t need my kids to come get me.  Now if your mom cannot make her own decisions, perhaps you should.  But don’t treat her like a child.  Maybe, like me, she stocked up with food, cash and gas and can easily stay home for a month.  Talk to her.

[b]I credit the posters here for me getting prepared early[/b].  Thank you.[/quote]

NP. I was somewhat blase about COVID-19 since I am not in a risk category, and I know influenza, etc. are also serious and I feel like those are not taken seriously. I practice excellent hygiene and focus on what I can do. But I was not about to go into crisis mode about all this.

I do not want to panic, but I have changed my perspective significantly. The posts about flattening the curve are very persuasive. I have canceled travel plans and will not go into crowds for any reason now.[/quote]

I’m the poster you quoted.  I wasn’t too worried until I started reading up here and read all sanitizer was sold out, and sure enough, it was.  I never panicked.  I just bought extra groceries.  We keep our pantry pretty full, so it wasn’t a lot to buy.  I always keep a supply of TP, tissues, paper towels here through Amazon, so I didn’t need any of that.  There are only two of us.  We always keep our cars full of gas and keep some cash on hand.  I’m also the poster who has a spouse with terminal lung cancer, so I am very worried about the virus. We cancelled our family cruise.  We are just staying home until this gets better.  This forum is why I was prepared weeks ago.  [/quote]
