On a serious note:
All this hysteria is not helping those people with issues such as anxiety, PTSD or panic issues.
Last night a young lady, a survivor of spousal abuse, contacted me concerned for her wellbeing as a result of panic attacks.
I explained to her that the media hype was precautionary and not a warning of imminent danger. The government has taken appropriate action and science has isolated the virus allowing future study and a potential vaccine.
With epidemics/pandemics there is always an initial spike as the government and the public are caught unaware but as the powers that be work together there is a flattening then a cure. We are attempting to reach the flatline point with the precautionary advisories.
It is not time to panic. Six months from now people will be wondering if all this excitement was necessary.... the answer is Yes because it helped reach the point where we could control and defend.... it is the hysteria that is/was and always will be unnecessary.
