Just got confirmation that there is at least one case of SARS-CoV-2 in the city where I work and live.

No known exposure to other cases, not any travel, in this individual. Which means it's been floating around for a while now.

Things are about to get unpleasant over the next few weeks.

Oh good, it's been confirmed circulating in the town were my 65+ mother and step-father, who are at high risk from this disease, live.

I am going to have a break down here. There's so much awful and hate everywhere already, and now this? Just fucking kill me, universe. Don't take the people I love and leave me to suffer. Do me quick, you goddamned coward.

@Doephin To be clear, that is scary as heck and I would be freaking out, is what I mean.
