Covid -19,Are we over-reacting?

The ongoing Covid-19 infection has taken the whole world by fear, like never before. The mass ‘hysteria-like’ reaction’ is out of proportion to what the danger really is.This is mainly to due the social media that has made the world very small where information is readily accessible to everyone from any nook and corner.

There is no doubt that Corona virus is a real danger and threat as it can spread very fast and can be deadly. We should be very cautious and take all necessary precautions to prevent the infection and its spread.This is especially important for those at high risk,like elderly and those with medical problems who can readily succumb to its fatal outcome.

The government is doing its best to contain the disease but we too must do our part by strictly adhering to the guidelines given by the authorities. At the same time let us not create panic by spreading news that are not correct and over-reacting to the threat of the virus.
