How is everyone?
SCARED to say the least. I'm studying abroad and back home my country is being absolutely negligent with the treatment of the virus, they refuse to start a quarantine and I suspect it is a population control strategy due to a deficit in our pension financial system. Guess what, my mom is a person at risk if she contracts the virus because she has acute chronical bronquitis. I AM SCARED and it makes it worse knowing that there is nothing I can do for her if worse case scenario happens.

I’m sorry. It’s a scary time. My father and aunt are high risk in more ways than one. I know how terrible of a feeling this situation can create. It’s definitely both a blessing and a curse, but you aren’t alone in how you feel about all this! Everyone across the globe is having these concerns. There can be a sense of community in that. You don’t have to look far to find peers that have the same fears as you.
It’s been helpful for me to focus on things I can control rather than things I can’t. Whatever happens, happens - but I can control how I social distance, how careful I am when shopping, how much time I put into making my space germ-free, how many family/friends I encourage to do the same, etc. All of the rest I’ll have to take as it comes. I hope you can do the same. I wish you and all your family the best.
