I am not scarred.
I am not scarred because I do not believe any of the numbers have been accurate and are not accurate now. I dont expect them to ever be accurate. I believe the numbers to be highly overstated. Monitoring them constantly will make you crazy.

I do not believe ppl really know what they are talking about when speaking about the virus. It is very easy to misinterpret statistics.

Also, in case you do get sick, there are good medications available now just as there for all tbe other illnesses we might get.

I suggest you just take reasonable precautions and stay home or outside most of the time. Anxiety lowers your immune system. As does all negative thoughts. You might try bolstering your immune system by getting enough sleep, good nutrien, exercise, and keeping yourself on the “sunny side of the street”. Call/communicate with friends/family even if you choose not to see them. Wash your hands & face often.

When you do go into an indoor public space, take some personal precautions. I do wear a mask & plastic gloves when in grocery stores or similar situations but mostly bcs other ppl are upset. I have always taken precautions not to touch anything in public places for as long as I can remember. Never touch your face without washing your hands first.

Most or all of this you have heard before. It is nerve racking, but you are not alone.
