1: Not worried at all. This has zero impact on you, your actions, and your thinking in life.

 

10: You're not going to school, work, church...you're only leaving home for ABSOLUTE emergencies.

For me and my family, probably around a 4 or so. But, for my parents (ages 77 and 80), I'm up there around an 8.

I went six. I will probably avoid big crowds and my limit my time around others, but I'm not doing anything crazy.

My vote is not about concern, but I do have a tremendous amount of interest on a number of fronts.

I'm a solid 6. I have older relatives I worry about. I'm no spring chicken either, and I still believe we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. I'm avoiding crowds, working from home as much as possible. I'm lucky, I just got back from vacation a week ago...I probably won't be taking any trips anytime soon.

I'm personally a 6...but then with my wife being a doctor, and a mom who's on oxygen, I'm good for a 7.

I have a cousin working in a hospital where there is a case...so I'm concerned for her and her family. We had planned on going to Indiana, North Carolina and Tennessee this week...we have postponed that trip for now.

I think I'm a decidedly a "5".

 

I'm still at work, still moving around the community for meetings and such, still eating out, and largely living my day-to-day life.

 

However, I wouldn't fly right now, I'm not going to a fish fry tomorrow night, and I would definitely try and avoid any location that is going to be full of people.

On a personal level I am about a 1. If I contract it, I will get over it. About a 5 with the domino effect of how all of this impacts work. About an 8 with respect to my parents. My mom because she is always sick, seemingly, and would be considered higher risk being mid-70s with respiratory issues.

I have HORRIBLE luck, but I'm trying to stay realistic and there hasn't been any cases in Northern Kentucky.

 

The weather changing always messes with my allergies and yesterday it was in the 60s when it had been 30 or below for a while, so my allergies kicked in and I thought "I have it....... I'm dead....." I literally was going to go get tested, especially since I have a compromised immune system from the wreck.

 

I'm starting to freak out because of how I just read that it's airborne, but I'm going to try and cut myself off from the rest of the world for as long as possible and just pray that I'm ok.

 

I keep searching the internet for a vaccine but it says that it won't be ready for a year.

 

I'm also worried because I have had so many illnesses and pains that my body is so used to it that I never really notice when something feels off or hurts, so I might have or get symptoms and just not notice..

This is where I’m at as well. Personally it won’t affect anything I do. I’d still fly, I’d still go to sporting events. Hell I had tickets to go to the Players Championship this weekend before they decided to not allow spectators and I never once considered not going. I’m about a 5 with concern for my parents and about an 9 with concern for my grandparents and my newborn nephew.

I'm with you. Medically - 3. Economically - 8.

Same here.

For myself, even though I’m old and infirm - 2 medically and economically. Retired and the only way I’m really affected is if my pensions get cut.

 

My parents are up in their 80s and are more hardheaded than me. Ratchet the concern level to a 6 for them.
