No worries bongo_rock, i am 54 but my parents are old and more vulnerable, and yes it was meant to be a humorous feature. Thank you for your contribution, appreciate it. Love you man. 
Yes, I understand that now. And pardon me for my snarky remark,
Flemming.
I didn't know about your parents. And I understand your concern.
My grandfather is 93 years old, and of course I've thought about him extra much in these times. But I come to the same conclusion again and again;
there isn't much I can do about it.
Of course, washing ones hands is common sense. But this so-called virus is airborne. So washing the hands will do very little to stop it from spreading, I believe.
I was on a crowded bus a week ago, where people were coughing and sneezing every minute. Two days later I had developed symptoms.
My understanding is this;
Life throws all kinds of things on us. We don't get to choose that.
What we do get to choose is HOW we react to anything that happens. I believe this is very important.
Why? I believe that a huge part of what is happening right now in our world, is done to us by small groups
that wants to bring fourth a constant state of fear in people. This fear then leads to worry - and the worry leads to a sensation of
dis-ease. Yes it can also be read that way.
When we're constantly worried we don't feel at ease - therefore we experience
dis-ease.
This is what I meant by trying not to worry too much. Excessive worrying also creates an inflammatory response in the body, that is very unhealthy in the long run
because is produces adrenaline that is being constantly pumped out in the bloodstream in small amounts. This does indeed make our bodies sick, both spiritually and physically.
The toilet paper being run-out at the store has more to do with people being reactionary to fear, rather than having anything to do with a "virus" being spread in the community.
We must always try to act with calmness as much as we can towards anything that happens to us in life. That is the only way to ensure that we live today in the moment. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. But in the
now! There is often something to learn from pain and suffering if we give ourselves the time to stop and think clearly about what the pain is trying to tell us.
We can only do so much about a particular thing. After a short while it becomes a hindering aspect to us. Hindering us in the sense of preventing us from experiencing any joy. The joy of the incoming spring, for example.
It is therefore, according to me, better to act with as much calmness as possible even if the news media and other powers are trying to force fear upon us. When we are afraid, we don't think clearly - which then affects our decision-making.
Hope my perspective helps.
I wish you and your parents all the best.
Thank you.
