[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, my good God. The level of overreaction and hysteria on this board is out of control.  We are not under a national quarantine.  We’ve been asked to limit gatherings to 10 people or less. Yes, this is serious but some of you people need to take your anti-anxiety meds and stay away from DCUM for a while.

[/quote]Yes, I’ve heard of people who haven’t left their houses for two weeks now. And this board is a feedback loop increasing the posters’ anxiety.

Take reasonable precautions, sure, but don’t bury yourself in fear. This virus isn’t a risk for your children, and if you’re a healthy adult, it’s not much of a threat to you, either. The average age of people who have died of this in Italy is almost 80.

We’re taking our kids to play with their cousins this afternoon. Life goes on.[/quote]

You are dead wrong and relying on old news.  The virus is a risk for children and young adults.  It’s not burying your head in fear to protect your children.  Yes, mostly elderly people are dying but Children’s Hospital has a frightening number of otherwise healthy children on respiratory-assistance.

I am the least anxious person I know but taking all precautions to protect my children is my only priority.  And I have never been afraid to say “no” to them.  Boredom isn’t fatal. [/quote]
