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!
PROJECT #HOPE An Initiative to give hope!
