Re-turn to literature. This time the "cockroach" of Kornea Chukovsky became a prophetic work. The situation with coronavirus - what you are not drama described in this fairy tale. It develops one in one on the scenario of the poem: large and strong animals are in panic horror before ... Tarakan.
News reports literally "the foundation" by panic and negative - "Wolves from frightened each other," from such news, even blood indicators will change. An unprecedented excitement, with which "spin" this virus, brings to quite reasonable questions: "Does he, first in history?" Or "the most terrible in history?" We strive for why this virus got to the "Favorites".
The percentage of influenza mortality is less than 1%, from coronavirus - 3.4%. For comparison, in the Middle Ages, when the plague epidemic was raging, the whole cities were dying off, almost all of those who had contact with the sick were infected, and the death rate from the plague was almost one hundred percent. The cockroach is definitely exists, simply the dimensions are greatly exaggerated.
One of the main recommendations of doctors is hygiene, it is generally relevant for all times. And what, before Coronavirus you ate with dirty hands and kissed with those who sneeze and cough? All the largest epidemics flashed precisely because of the antisanitarian.

Many years ago I was surprised by the statement of one grandmother that in the times of her youth natural disaster was not ... Well, yes! There were no televisions and the Internet, there was no information, which means there was no events ... This is logic! There is only something that they say.
Now imagine that two journalists set the task of making reports: "Argentina is a wonderful country" and "Argentina is a terrible country". I assume that everyone will cope with its task brilliantly. The question is, whose report you will see the first. Here and your attitude to the country has been formed ...
The cockroach is small, and the noise endowed so much: the dollar has grown, the cost of oil fell - maybe it is, of course, and by chance. It just has a feeling that this is only a small part of the huge iceberg. By the way, the attention of people covered by horror is zero. They do not notice anything around. And you, on the contrary, collect it in a fist and see what happens in parallel with Coronavirus.
Somehow I don't want to be obedient ram on the information rope at all. What helps you save objectivity - stay away from bad news. Just get information, let it not be painted neither fear or panic nor other negative emotions. Otherwise, how to keep the immunity, which is the most important advocate.
In all, you can see our advantages: other countries are closed, and do not recommend the clusters of people - relax, sleep, take a walk in nature.
