FEAR OF VIRUS
The virus is new, and
there remain many questions about the illness it causes. Most people haven't
had it, nor do they know someone who has Experts say that matters.
"We understand the flu, we have personal experience
with it. That makes it less scary," Bufka said. "We know what to
expect with something like that. As humans, we can read information, hear
information from others and take all that in, but personal experience makes a
difference."
David Clark, a clinical psychologist and author of "The
Runaway Mind" said public fear may be heightened because of "looming
vulnerability."
"When danger or threat is gradually approaching it
tends to be more frightening to us, than, let's say if danger were to appear
all of a sudden," Clark said of theory. "We started out with media
reports from China which seemed to be very distant to us, not a particular the threat, but then over the weeks we see this encroaching, getting closer and
closer to home."
Now, while all this fear can cause people to act in
increasingly erratic ways, it’s not all bad news. A few years ago, A book
arguing that governments only ever tackle big, life-threatening challenges when
their backs are against the wall. Existential crises are good at clarifying the
mind. They often convince politicians to make deep, painful, but necessary
reforms because they force them to accept that there’s no other choice; should
they fail, not only will it doom their careers, but it will doom their
countries as well.
The coronavirus maybe that kind of crisis; if it’s not, the
next one or the one after that will be. But so far, there’s no sign that our
leaders are drawing the right conclusions by acknowledging the true scale of
the problem and working together in an open, effective, and coordinated way.
And that’s the scariest part of all.
But one thing I would like to say, That the fear of social
media has spread so much that people will be more worried about fear than a virus
, Some people are so scared that if someone has a fever or cough or something,
they don't go to the hospital for fear. First of all, I would like to request to reduce this fear so that people can take
care of themselves by relaxing.
STORY
I would like to share with you a story, that once Epidemic
happened in one country, the people of the country said to his king that there were 5,000 people dead in your
country with a strange type of Epidemic. The king shocked and said to his minister that you should go and
find out what's going on. When the
minister arrived, after reviewing all the information, he came to the king and told there were not five thousand
people dead, it's only 500 dead. The king
looked at him and said You are talking
about 500 deaths but I have reported about
5000 deaths how it's possible. The minister said oh my King only 500 people are dead with this disease,
remaining 4500 people have died because of its fear.
So just take care of yourself and
try to live happily all will be fine soon.
