I live in Boston, I'm in my 30's, and I've decided I won't cancel anything. If I get the virus, so what? I firmly believe it's unwarranted panic. I'll enjoy the empty metropolis and remember this event for the rest of my life, like I remember 9/11, the financial crash, and how my parents remember the JFK assassination and the Blizzard of '78. Strange times

EDIT - Let me clarify. If I get the virus, I will quarantine (of course), but I'm not going to prematurely ruin my life in fear of this event, which is in itself not a death sentence - only 0.2% of those under 40 die at worst case https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-se...

Everyone needs to RELAX
