Instantaneous global communication without nuance is a perfect carrier for amplifying panic. As a web technology cheerleader for 2-1/2 decades I find myself filled with ennui about this. As a former health care professional I urge cautious research and consultation with your own physician and local public health authorities. That instantaneous global communication response added to an incoherent Executive Branch in the US me want to scream. The delicacy and precarity of the current situation bugs the crap out of me. We know what cautious and complete public health response looks like, and it is absent. And it’s for THAT reason I worry.
