Yus. Most of us have never been directly affected by an epidemic. There is a constant drumbeat of danger. Fear, worry, sadness, general malaise of all types is common now. It's a case of doing the best we can without being able to control the outcome. That's essentially life, but we can forget.
I do not want to be a vector, I fear for small businesses, feel the homeless must be in and causing trouble. I worry for my mom, my friends, the people who are still working in public, our hospitals. I want to take action, but . . . not sure I will be allowed. Or should. Mom shouldn't have to be frightened for me.
I make a great effort to redirect my thoughts away from the scary, which is likely the thing for which I am most prepared.
I hope your wife, clearly recovering, has some great antibodies and hands them all around.
