I see lots of questions about do you own a gun. With everything going on are you now concerned or worried about protecting yourself and your family?

That is always a concern in my part of the world. It is always part of how I think and live. A person gets used to it.

@Stereoguy 1505 infected 31 recovered and 7 died. We have a population of about 57 million. Given our resources I am quite impressed by the way our government handled this. We are given daily detailed updates. Do I think it is the calm before the storm?.. probably... but we are giving it our best shot so far. If you are interested, read the BBC report "South Africa's ruthlessly efficient fight against coronavirus". I just think our economy is taking a beating it cannot afford, but like most countries we are between a rock and hard place. How does it look in your country?

@Stereoguy Its sad, I think many countries are in the same position. We too have those mixed reactions, and like most countries, we cannot afford this lockdown economically (and many who earn their money on the streets, vendors, garbage pickers etc are suffering badly). But we were forced to but some time - even if was just to prepare as best we can. In two weeks we also have to head back work and then the double battle begins - staving off this virus AND trying to salvage what is left of our economy. I just hope they find something that will help. We know not how it will end, but we have to go through it.
