Honestly, I'm not worried. I live in middle-of-nowhere Ontario, and other than doing the whole wash hands, don't touch face etc I haven't it bother me.

Though I am getting annoyed with the fear mongering of the media and my coworkers. I literally had a coworker come up to me and tell me I'm definitely going to die because I have asthma and work in customer service. She literally, genuinely told me I'd die. I was flabbergasted.

And on the news tonight, I heard them talking about being prepared for when it comes, and they were talking about when the electricity goes out, how to start a fire for heat, use snow to flush the damn toilet... like, what? This is a virus, we haven't hit the apocolypse time just yet.

Sorry, I just ranted a teeny tiny bit. It's bad, and we all know it's bad, but we need to stop being so fearful and learn how to protect ourselves instead.
