I wouldn't be normally except my dh works at the high school with a dorm program where kids go overseas all the time. They offer trips abroad and some kids were on a trip to Italy recently that got brought back after only a couple of days(after there was a case detected in Italy). They're taking extra measures to ensure all the health precautions that they can but honestly, who's to say 1 germ somewhere isn't going to create the scary havoc that seems to be unfolding.
And my dh loves to talk about stuff like that so now he's bringing up things like who's disinfecting the buses, the planes, used for transport, what about all the drivers, etc., etc.
So I sit here, trying hard not to worry, and listen to him go on and on.
I think this will make its rounds like every other virus of the year, they'll develop a vaccine, and people need to treat it like every other sickness that they could contract and possibly die from. Stay as healthy as you possibly can and use all the smart precautions we've been taught in dealing with children all these years.
Meanwhile, I'll just stay under my blankets with my nose in a book.
