Johns Hopkins published a map of COVID-18 Global Cases.
As of right now, the amount who died from the virus is 3,892; survivors total 62,375. So I'm taking some comfort in that. That said I'm a little dismayed to see the red bubble over the northeastern seaboard. |

And then there are those who are laughing it all off and complaining that we're all going crazy over this virus. At least aroung here! (I live in Germany).
We have some non-perishables stocked up for just in case and I'm reminding my kids (teenagers...) to wash their hands when they get home. No hand sanitizer here since they're all under 50% alcohol and only claim to be antibacterial on the label. I have a bottle of spirits (97% alcohol) that I use to clean surfaces. That's horrible! Don't they realize that everyone ends up losing if people go to work when they're sick? I don't usually take time off work. You have to go to the doctor's office to get sick leave, potentially passing on whatever you have to everyone in the waiting room and picking up someone else's virus! I work outside, on my own. I do cancel my tutoring lessons when I'm sick. |

Between the real threat of earthquakes, fire and the power outages this past summer, I have several days worth of both drinking and washing water, food, light, indoor cooking supplies (don't use your propane camp stove inside!!), as well as a "bug out bag" in case my cat and I need to get out quick. I live in a small apartment so don't have a ton of storage space. Luckily I also work from home. I stopped watching the news except for the weather and headlines because it was definitely making me more anxious, and sensational coverage, like live footage of the poor Grand Princess ship chugging around in circles off the coast, isn't useful information.

She said they're maintaining a positive attitude, watching exercise videos and re-runs of “The Love Boat." .
