Fear
Text of excerpt, if available
It might seem natural to feel afraid when words like contagion, pandemic, and quarantine are floating around. I’ve even heard people argue that fear can be helpful—motivating us to take action to protect ourselves. But actually, fear can distort our view of what’s going on and inhibit our ability to think clearly by inciting panic … or paralysis. The experts agree, and many have taken to social media to try to calm people’s fears with reassurances and facts. That’s why, if you’re looking for a way to take action right now, the best thing you can do is to help stop the spread of fear. Where can each of us start? With ourselves.
