So, you’ve heard of mass hysteria. How about mass dementia? Y2K, 2012, H1N1, Ebola... Coronavirus. Freak out - Dramatize, sensationalize, pillage, and lose your cool. Fear the worst - Dread, anxiety, depression, hopelessness. Fail to learn - Forgive the media, forget the result, fail to learn the lesson. Repeat - Do it all over again next time. I’m not saying there’s no danger. There’s danger crossing the street or in not wearing your seat belt. But, the above response helps nothing. Instead, adopt this approach: Get info - Delve deep, compare data, find facts not speculation. Stay cool - Stay realistic(not cynical), avoid media overload, keep living. Adapt - Apply safety measures, avoid needless danger, help others do likewise. Remember - Stay critical, stay safe, stay realistic, stay cool, stay vigilant.
