“Hysteria is not helpful.”
Acquiring information about a disease isn’t a hysterical reaction. The more one knows, the better one can prepare and then not worry. Prepping to avoid the flu or have preps to not catch it if someone in the house has it, is prudent, especially with older age people.
Amen to that Marcella. The only way I can deal with worry is to imagine the worst, decide what to do and prepare, then hope for the best.
I understand that some people get crazy by looking at a worst case scenario, but that is what helps me to be calm. It’s just like firedrills etc. to me.
