Journalist

Diary,
It's official. Wuhan has been put on lock down. I can't say I wasn't expecting it, but hearing it being said out loud by our own government sends shivers down my spine. We left the office a week ago and I am now working from home. I've been trying not to leave my apartment. My last two ventures involved a trip to the supermarket and one last visit to my office to collect some papers that I accidentally left behind.
I will admit that I am scared. We do not know how long this will last and I am unsure whether I will even get to see my parents again. They have been my only solitude throughout this whole epidemic but they have health issues themselves and I worry that they will struggle to pull through.
It is not a good time to be a journalist. I am constantly surrounded by information about this disease that I rarely get the time to separate myself from it all and give my mind a rest. It is affecting my mental health so much so that I experienced my first panic attack in 10 years.
I suppose the only thing we can do is wait it out and see what happens,
Ju
