Afraid of the coronavirus?

[Amanda]

It's all over the news and many people in my circle are talking about it. I honestly don't know that much about it. I made a donation to Doctors Without Borders because I understand the coronavirus is harming people elsewhere, but I'm not too worried about it becoming a serious problem here. Am I being naive? Are you afraid of the coronavirus?

I'm not worried about it personally, but I felt the same way about Ebola and every other dangerous disease that started overseas. I worry more about salmonella and other infectious things that are more likely to cause a problem in U.S. households.

Well, I'm not afraid of getting sick if that's what you mean. I'm concerned about how the coronavirus will affect the economy as time goes on.
