I can’t tell if you’re serious or sarcastic. If you look at the numbers it’s not panic it’s real. Are you suggesting people to bury their head in the sands and pretend this is all fake news, and it’s just the flu? I’d think seeing you’re in the medical field, someone in your position should be taking this way more serious than the laize faire attitude I’m getting from your replies.
I am not being sarcastic at all. As an RN, I am being realistic. I also recall being in a state of panic similar to yours following 9-11. I couldn’t tear myself away from the coverage until a family member gently encouraged me to do so. It made a life-saving difference in my ability to process the events and to regain my equilibrium and composure. We can all benefit with a break from sensory overload. Our health depends upon it.
