I don't think that fear is the right descriptor here. (boy I hope that doesn't violate any rules, I don't want to get banned) I think that a lot of people are really trying to make the right decisions about staying at home.
I know personally four people who had Covid-19. Two became very sick and two died. Two sick, one of those was in ICU, taken to Ocala hospital, for ten days. Her sister had to be taken to E.R. for dehydration. The two of them had gone with a group of ten to eat dinner together on St. Patrick's day. Probably both in late sixties.
The two who died, one three days ago, the other nine days ago, were married for 62 years. 80 and 82 years old. (He died on his birthday) I don't think they knew how they contracted it.
I am been watching the Johns Hopkins tracker and checking into the Florida Department of health. Nationally it seems to average about 1100 deaths a day. It is a valid fact that most people who die are over 65.
Many of my friends are choosing to stay home a lot, when they go out they wear masks. They are doing projects in their homes and yards, many are still golfing, driving alone and not staying for lunch.
Maybe there is some fear. Yesterday I took my temperature for the first time since the beginning of March. I felt hot. It was two degrees higher than my usual. (If the damned thermometer is working right) Today it is fine. I am not scared now, but I was a little yesterday.
We are all trying to stay alive and enjoy life and try to make the right choices.
