On a scale of 1 to 10, how concerned are you about coronavirus?

85. I'm about on 8:

Last Saturday, I ordered two weeks of non-perishable food online for me and DH. Most of it has arrived.

I also ordered all the items suggested by TheBlackAdder in another post on this thread. Better to have them on hand than not. Also have elderberry gummies and zinc lozenges on order.

I am 66 with no chronic health conditions and no medication needs - but I (1) live on the West Coast, (2) work for a global company in which many of us travel internationally with some frequency, and (3) did two business trips (domestic) in the last four weeks. I'm about to cancel my attendance at an industry conference in Southern California, since I traveled this week, and I think that's enough travel risk for now. My job allows me to work from home several days a week already, so if we were told to stay at home (as Google and Facebook employees in the area have already been told), I can work from home indefinitely.

DH is 69 with a few minor health conditions but none of the pulmonary variety. He is retired so no extra risks on his side from co-worker contact and business travel.

Stanford Health Care is our provider, and they have their own COVID test for their patients, so if there is need it looks like we can get promptly tested. We've both already had our flu shots.

So I think we are about as prepared as we can be.
