I mean, the worst case outcome is my stock's value goes down by about $10k more. ( I don't count 401k, since short term changes to that are meaningless)

That is largely within the delta of what I chalk up to luck of the draw, when I got my job anyways. So, it is well within expected variance.

I am young, so health is no big deal. I am following protocol, but not worried for myself. Honestly, not that much has changed. People are panicking due to mass hysteria. But, this isn't that bad.

Maybe I used to it. My country has had just as massive dengue, swine flu and bird flu epidemics over the last decade. People died in huge numbers just the same. Just that, the ones at risk were mostly really poor people in a 3rd world country, so no one cared enough to force such a response.

My friend jokes that the only reason this pandemic is so serious, is because it's the only one that seriously affects white boomers. I'm not sure if he is entirely wrong.
