The news speaks of four types of people in a pandemic: one who locks down their house, one who does not care, one who panic shops, and one who follows CDC guidlines without losing their head.

The Lockdown One asks: "What more can I do to keep my family safe"  You should teach him all the guidlines in detail, and explain how to be safe without panic.

The Careless One asks: "Why should I need to change my spring break plans for you? I'm healthy and young." By using the expression "for you" hee excludes herself from the human race. Shake her arrogance and say to her: "It is because of what nurses and doctors will do for you if you get sick. They are not able to social distance so you may help them by taking precautions."

The Panic-Shopper One asks: "Why are they limiting the amount of toilet paper I can buy, they have more in the store?" You should tell him: "It is because not everyone will be able to buy in bulk and we need to all have access to basic necessities. There will be toilet paper next time you come to the store as well."

As for the One Who Follows CDC guidelines without losing their head, you should open the discussion for him, as to what they can do to make sure they stay in a good mental wellness space.
