'Don't Panic,' She Said While Panicking
-
This writer implores you to stop obsessing about coronavirus, counseling that all id does is make you more fearful. The topic here is whether we SHOULD be fearful, because this thing is bad and the news keeps getting worse. You can't say, well, this is no big deal and most people won't get sick, because a) some of us WILL get sick, b) it CAN kill us, c) the administration has shown zero leadership in a crisis, and d) we don't know what's next. The article delves into the psychological aspects of fear in a time of crisis and the role of incessant media coverage in that, but what are we supposed to do when the information all points to things getting worse before they get better?
