I do not consider myself a hysterical or paranoid person (at least not when it comes to diseases and things of that nature, now spiders? that's a whole 'nother story), but I do consider myself a worrier and very cautious.
If I were living and working at home, the worry and cautious part of me wouldn't be getting ramped up little by little with each passing day. However my job has me traveling to nearly every state within our country. There are times I literally go through three to four states in a day. Usually making stops in each for bathroom and eating purposes.
Hell, when ebola was first discovered in Dallas, I had JUST left the city three days prior. Only to find myself back there for, in and out, three days. I come into contact with tons of people every single day. That in itself isn't a big deal except for the fact that (and I hate to say this but it's true) a lot of these folks don't use daily, proper hygiene. I've seen it over and over. Don't wash their hands, cough without covering their mouths or sneeze really hard then wipe their hand on the counter as they're waiting in line in front of me. I've even seen them pick their noses then wipe whatever they find on the closest surface they can find.
It's things like above that cause me to worry and be hyper vigilant in my own sanitizing. So when a new case pops up and then it's out that one of those cases happened to fly with a bunch of people while having symptoms, it really does worry me. All it would take is for ONE over the road driver, like myself, to get it and that will be a bad, bad deal.
All I can do for now is sanitize my shoes before I enter my truck (yes, I do this and yes I get looks. Frankly I don't give a fuck) and wipe my hands down with bleach. Sure my truck smells like a janitor's closet but I'd rather be hyper vigilant/cautious/worried then end up with something that could do serious harm to myself or my family.
If that makes me a paranoid and/or a hysterical guy, that's okay. I'm cool with that. But until the government gets it's shit together and starts educating people, mass panic/hysteria will set in. Education is the KEY. Without it, no one knows what the fuck to do to stay safe and healthy.
Just My Opinion,
Brute.
