The five stages of grief as it applies to coronavirus:
https://psychcentral.com/lib/the-5-stages-of-loss-and-grief/
1. Denial—I and nobody I care about are Asian or over eighty years old and only Asians get the disease anyway.
2. Anger—Those Chinese did this to kill us—bioweapon! This is the finger pointing we are seeing from China, Iran and some FR posters!
3. Bargaining—Well maybe we contain this if we stop a few flights, close a few schools, wash our hands.
4. Depression—I saw a post here that some folks were getting depressed about this whole thing. Expect to see more of this.
5. Acceptance—We need to get here. This is nobody’s fault (at least without _solid_ proof). People really do dumb stuff. Most of our leaders are human and make mistakes. The virus is smarter than we are—until we work hard at figuring out what is going on. It is not the end of the world, but it is an ugly mess.
I got to 5 a while ago.
And started prepping.
It’s the only thing *I* can do to change my possible circumstances at this point.
‘some people did some things’. And I need to make sure my family can withstand those things to the best of my abilities.
