In general, the media on this (plus it being an election year) is stressing me out. I think the media is making is hyping stuff up more than it needs to be. Unfortunately, because everyone (I'm generalizing here) is scared of what could happen, instead of looking at the facts, there's more misinformation, xenophobia, and paranoia than usual.
I work for a healthcare company, so we've sent out communications to our members about a month ago that we're monitoring the situation, here are the facts, etc. Internally, it's business as usual for me, since I work remotely. That said, I am a little concerned since my partner (we live together) works at an airport and therefore his chances of exposure are higher.
I wasn't planning on attending any conferences this year anyway.
All in all, I am not too worried, but I am finding the media hype (and shutting down the xenophobes) to be adding to my stress levels.
