Yeah, it's as good a time as ever to be scared. But I have my own problems to worry about. I can't be reading that and then seizing up from panic because I can't help. I'm more effective when I'm calm.

I don't remember how it works
I wrote a hydrogeology model
I don't remember how it works
I wrote heatmapping sequencing for racing vehicles
I don't remember how it works
