I’ve been watching this unfold for months since late January/early February. People thought I was blowing it out of proportion but I was reallt afraid when the Wuhan lockdown started.. then the Diamond Princess.. That woman returning from Iran being tested and the world suddenly realized it was endemic outside of east Asia. Panic only started here in Ohio a couple weeks ago. The governor started doing daily updates on tv. But the thing that really caused me to panic is when I went to go and do my usual late night snack run, they were sold out of nearly everything. I panicked immediately and bought a bunch of canned goods and stuff. I had a breakdown the next day when I realized I might not see my parents for months. Now my friends are not hanging out because they are following the rules. It’s very isolating. My work is essential so I still have to go in and they aren’t making any effort to follow the social distancing rules. It’s impossible to not share equipment or be more than a couple feet from each other. I have accepted that I will get it and probably someone that I know will die. I really am afraid to go to work but I have to pay rent.
