Not so much scared as much as cautiously aware here. Really greatful for the essential persons who are helping keep our key societal functions going. I'm pretty fatalistic about it at this point.... And doing what I can to stay informed about potential treatments.

Leery of virus

Since I think I may have had it in January/February, and I have no idea if I'm immune, could catch it again, or be contagious myself, I'm only fearful that I might spread the virus to someone - or that I might get it again or for the first time. I'm surely not scared, as I'm being careful, meaning caring for those around me so as not to get them sick.

I live on an island that currently has zero confirmed cases, but we still are following the social distancing guidelines, because we feel that that is what got us to this wonderful point of having zero cases.

The majority of residents on my island do not want to start tourism up again until we have a screening system in place. Right now, we just do temperature checks AND require any arriving traveler to quarantine for 14 days. This isn't being fearful - it's being smart and careful.

Our island is not sick - and so we are going to be a desirable destination for those escaping their cities with higher case loads - but we have the option of doing it safely - so that's what we are doing. The only thing some people might be fearful about is money -- most of us have lost our income - and relief is slow to come in the way of state or federal aid - but waiting until we can open up safely and smartly is what the vast majority of us want.

This break has been good in many ways. AND I think that with the better hygiene and social distancing habits we are learning, I'd be willing to bet the common cold and flu season will be lighter because of our precautions.

My only fear is that people will not take this seriously and try to go back to their 'normal' ways. It will be another lesson we fail to learn.

Not worried about myself, but more for my loved ones and others who are likely to be more severely harmed by it.

I've wondered that myself, as I'm not that concerned over such.

I'm scared of giving it to someone else, especially people I know who are at higher risk of dying.

Jacob, ask an open-ended question, such as “What scares you?” or the more complicated “If you are seeing any scared people, what do you think is the cause?”
