The plane you travel in could crash, u could be hit fatally while crossing the street, you could suddenly get cancer due to a faulty gene... The possibilities are endless. Normal flu killed a few hundred last year in the US if I'm not mistaken. If you allow yourself to be troubled by all this, then you won't be able to live.

Do the same stuff you would if you were trying to avoid any other illness. Avoid close contact with sick people, wash your hands before eating and touching your face, make sure you get enough sleep, etc.

Why are you afraid of getting coronavirus because you’re alone in the country? Would your odds be lower if you were with a friend?

Being alone in the country means nobody to help you when you recover or take care of you

By being logical, rational, and not ignorant. It’s also simple a new version of the flu essentially, so I would take a few sick days worst case scenario. Go take a look in the mirror and shame yourself then get on the plane and move on with life.

The weak will die off. Human race will become stronger. But in all seriousness, carry around hand sanitizer, stay away from sick people, wear that mask if you must.

Just worry about the flu instead!

To add what KPMG 1 was saying, if people around you are coughing, maybe try covering your face as well?

I’m usually pretty good about getting going, but I’m stalled out. Send me some tough love to get me going today.
