HI there
I am based in Northern Ireland in the UK.
I am very worried about the latest developments of Coronavirus - there are currently around 5 cases in N.I. It’s not a big number but its making me anxious and paranoid more so than I usually am.
I survived cancer 6 years ago - and I had an operation, as a result I have only one lung. 4 years later I suffered a mini stroke. With all these health obstacles I have faced, I just keep thinking I dont want to die of the Coronavirus! I have survived everything else.

I find myself talking to my family , telling them to ‘prepare’ for the possibility that if I got CV I will most definitely die …I am petrified…and I am not ready to die - I am only 45. I have a young 13 year old son. He needs his mum and my husband needs me. All I keep thinking about is death.

I’m very very very slightly concerned about my parents. My mum works with many elderly clients and gets very hands on so lots of contact.

My dad is in his 70s.

So yea Idk.

I’m not too worried for myself. UK is apparently one of the most relaxed about this.

I do have concerns about death thou… That’s something else thou

I work in a nursing home - I am worried that if someone were to bring the virus into the home, I will just go down like the residents - like dominoes!

Nahh, I hope you will be fine. You’re pretty young.

Just be careful with not touching your face too much

(I keep itching my eyes it’s not good)

Please keep all coronavirus discussion to the two open coronavirus threads, to keep the boards from getting clogged.
