6-7. I had lung surgery when I was in high school, I've been fine since but I'm paranoid that if I get it then it'll really affect me. Also don't want my parents to contract it.

2, I'm more annoyed at the disruption than in real belief I'm in danger.

 Re: What’s your fear level? (poll)
For myself? Not very. Maybe a 2-3. But for the economy? For other people? Probably a 7. Maybe more.

 Re: What’s your fear level? (poll)
Much more worried about my mental health through the quarantine than physical health. I don’t want my relatives to get it, but it might be inevitable.

 Re: What’s your fear level? (poll)
Other than people dying my main concern is over the economic effects of this outbreak.

 Re: What’s your fear level? (poll)
Economy is my biggest fear too and second is that my dad should not get it (he is 69). I'd say 4

Yeah my dad works at Nike in Oregon, and is 65. They finally gave everyone paid leave, so I'm glad about that.

2-3 for myself but 8-9 for the economy and all the job loss.
Losing a job has devastating mental health on the person laid off and families.

 Re: What’s your fear level? (poll)
For now, relatively low.
If it mutates and becomes much more lethal....I'm concerned that I wouldn't be able to get into the countryside and find a cabin to live in completely isolated fast enough. And I'd be scared for my parents, for whom that is not a possibility.

 Re: What’s your fear level? (poll)
I've been at a 7/7.5 since the NBA/all sports shutdown.
To get really personal, I'm 32 and I have both asthma and pre-diabetes/diabetes. The good news is that my diabetes is relatively under control and my asthma is nowhere near as bad as it was when I was a kid. Still not the greatest of one-two punches and my days of licking random strangers has come to a temporary end. My fear level should probably be higher, but I'm not sure I could function if it were.

I feel better now that I’ve moved in with friends, but I’m still bored and miss my other friends. At least I’m making a butt ton working at the grocery store.

 Re: What’s your fear level? (poll)
Fear level is pi. Low but constant and never ending.
Just kidding.
I'm mostly worried about my wife because she has health problems. If I get it I have a much better chance of surviving than she does.

 Re: What’s your fear level? (poll)
My uncle's niece (his wife's) was diagnosed this past week. So now he has to get tested. Good thing I haven't seen them in a few months.

 Re: What’s your fear level? (poll)
I wouldn't really call it fear, but caution level is certainly still decently high (7, 8). And I don't think people should really be less cautious now versus a month or two ago.
But clearly a large number of people no longer think it's a big concern because I'm seeing far fewer people wearing masks, gloves, etc., than just a week or two ago. Not to mention decently large crowds I've spotted in parks and such. Just going to the grocery store is becoming frustrating now by the increasing disregard of people. And unfortunately, I don't believe the slight inconvenience of social distancing and other measures (masks, gloves) are going to be practiced from this point on by the mass general public.

 Re: What’s your fear level? (poll)
My concern level is way up. I think the riots have shown how our psyche has been damaged by the quarantine. Nobody can distract themselves with busywork and say maybe its not that bad. All the pre-Covid bullshit isn’t gonna fly anymore and we might just have too many problems to fix, even with a Good President.
