How worried do i need to be about the coronavirus? im 38 and type 1 diabetic, and i dont want to live in fear every day.

Concerns: The COVID 19 infection pandemic is very concerning, especially to those with chronic conditions. If your wife is a healthcare worker, consider asking the center to provide her with alternative housing e.g a campus dorm, until the rate of infection is reduced. Continue to live as separately as possible under one roof, until other plans may be arranged. Use good hand washing and disinfectants.
