Widespread fear!... What to do?
COVID-19 has arrived as the messenger that brings devastating news, instilling fear in people's minds, the embarrassment and dismay seized most of the people in different countries of the world, bringing an environment of widespread fear where citizens he is seized with panic and despair.
Actions to avoid contagion, spread and possible death from a hitherto unstoppable enemy, are the priority on today's citizen agenda, security protocols, face masks, personal hygiene, avoiding being in large concentrations people etc, have become the day to day of the citizens of the countries where the messenger of bad news has arrived or as I have decided to call it "the messenger of satan".
Panic
Sudden episode of intense fear that causes serious physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause.
Panic attacks typically include some of these signs or symptoms:
- Sense of impending doom or danger
- Fear of loss of control or death
- Rapid, pounding heart rate
- Sweating
- Trembling or shaking
Despite the constant information about the virus, its prevention, the ages in which it most affects, including the percentage of mortality that does not exceed 3%, and according to data, 80% of those affected recover satisfactorily, the common citizen cannot avoid that feeling that you can face death at any time.
This generates different reactions in the human being who feels that he is fighting to save his life, which translates into nervous purchases and desperate actions to ensure the products that allow him to prevent infection.
This type of behavior in people easily attracts unscrupulous people who take advantage of people's fear to profit from some products that are constantly being used for virus prevention, namely toilet paper, alcohol, mouth cap, vitamin C to strengthen the immune system among other products.
When panic knocks on your door.
In Venezuela until Friday there was an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, the news was known from China, Italy, Spain and the other countries where the virus had arrived, it seemed that it would not touch our soil; But it happened, and a government official announced confirmation of the first two cases.
This news altered the peace of a nation, people desperately entered a state of "GENERALIZED FEAR", the few prevention products that are there quickly went up in price, began to sell out, and the first case of a person who stored in your house mouth lid boxes.
So far, the government has announced quarantine in 7 states of the country, ordering the suspension of public events where a large number of people gather, measures that we are all obliged to comply with to collaborate and prevent the spread of the virus.
Final reflection.
All the preventive actions taken by the authorities of each country we are obliged to comply with, it is about helping to avoid the spread of the infection. Every human being who has some kind of influence through some medium, social networks, television or radio should become a guiding agent to help prevent the spread of the virus through prevention training campaigns.
Let us try to guide people to a state of tranquility and calm, panic forces us to make wrong decisions, if we avoid fear we will be able to help others, we will not spread rumors without confirmation, we avoid unnecessary alarms and above all we strengthen our FAITH.
Don't let CoronaVirus steal your peace, become an agent of hope!

I can only imagine how scared the people in the country where this deadly virus has been discovered will be, my own country where the case has not be properly confirmed have got a lot of people extremely scared already too.
If my friend is very serious, there is a feeling of collective fear due to the spread of this infection, not only in your country but also in those who have received the virus and even those who have not yet arrived.
It is a tragedy but we must control that fear and strengthen FAITH to help others.
Fear is spreading everywhere here. Many people are self-isolating, including me. There are queues at the shops and the shelves are emptying. No rice, pasta etc. This is here in Europe, where we felt we were untouchable but life can change like the toss of a coin.
However, we need to be strong, work as a community and help each other.
Yes, I agree with you that fear has the ability to kill even before the virus, it might not be easy but staying calm is situations like this is often advisable.
Friend you are very right, I know that it is not easy to stay calm in moments like these but you have to reflect and know that fear limits your actions and ability to respond.
A lot of FAITH and confidence, try to conscientize people to comply with prevention protocols and stay calm.
Let's not stress about what we cannot control and concentrate on the things we can influence. Stressing and worrying about what we cannot change is counterproductive. It's hard - but we should try to stay positive and strong. Through strength, we can help other.
You are absolutely correct, the best thing is to stay calm because panic and fear usually result in more damage.
Your post is encouraging friend, cheers.
Hello dear @futurekr, thanks for your comment.
I think we should all row in that direction, try to be passive agents in the middle of a society full of fear.
strengthen our FAITH. I can say the main point for me and others.
Hello dear @teach-me, I totally agree, when a situation like this exceeds the response capacity of governments and citizens, Faith is what helps us maintain confidence that we will be fine, that no plague will touch your home.

You are right to describe the deadly disease as a messenger that brings devastating news, and the false news that bloggers are spreading is enough reason for people to hurt themselves, but we have to stay strong during this trying periods.
That's right, we must maintain strength and pass this on to those around us
The most important thing is to have control over your emotions. Peace of mind is something that will help greatly so that no type of condition enters your immune system.
Rely on natural medicine to keep your body in an alkaline state and of course comply with all the rules of prevention dictated by government agencies.
Hello @yonnathang.
Very good recommendation, friend, that is what it is, to help as much as we can while we try to reassure people so that this feeling of hopelessness does not advance.
Great write @Fucho80. In my research in health, I have discovered that fear kills faster than the ailment itself. This is a great message everyone should hear to help themselves.
Hello friend @uyobong, thanks for being here.
Let's multiply this message, so that people do not panic, we must respect prevention protocols but not panic, fear kills you faster than anything as you affirm, we must believe, strengthen our FAITH.
That is serious.
Hi @fucho80
Friend, your publication is in some way consistent with my publication where I speak of calm and sanity.
I think that despite everything that is happening we should not lose that calm and much less sanity.
I know that this can be easy to say and I also know that it is very difficult to do so in these moments of great psychological tension.
Hello dear @lanzjoseg.
Yes friend, that inspires me, I think that we have a lot of responsibility in helping to spread a message of calm in this situation, we agree that it is very difficult to achieve but we must strive to help people not to panic, that it does not help anyone and creates chaos.
Courage is the first ingredient to combat every form of issue.
Yes, there are several ways to face this type of situation, what we should avoid is to panic and cause chaos with our actions.
