passed and we also know the facts of the fatality. We know beyond doubt that people are getting cured and being discharged. We also know that far more people are getting cured and being discharged compared to those that are dying. We know that only the aged and sick are succumbing to COVID-19. We also know that a large population must have become immune as several people tested positive have no symptoms or very mild symptoms. Then, why have we shut down most of the world? Why have we caused an economic crisis like never before? What is the cause? Fear! It is like a wildfire that has gutted down all kinds of business, not just airlines and hotels that have completely shut down, several economies around the world will be devastated. A country like Maldives which largely depends on tourism, will be choked and several poor will die. There are several countries that depend on global travel, but our panic has completely shut down all commuting between the countries. While it is absolutely logical to close boundaries to contain the virus, it is a pity that it is inspired by fear rather than reason.

Fear has destroyed every aspect of life. Even medical facilities have practically shut down because of fear. All other kinds of ailments and diseases have been put on low priority because of COVID-19. More people will die due to fear of this virus as they are deprived of medical support

caused by fear of COVID-19, which has overwhelmed our medical facilities.

Media has had a large part to play in this chaos. Inadvertently, they have made the virus into such a monster that even after the lockdown is lifted, it will take quite a while for people to undo the fear created by all the news and reports in the media. Today, fear of the virus is stopping several people from getting out of their homes, even though they are needed in the frontline operations. The fear of death and disease looms all over the globe and before we realize it, fear will kill many more than Coronavirus will. It is time to kill fear before fear kills us! We must take stock of what we have done and as soon as possible, undo it because every passing day, fear is destroying more and more people, communities, and countries.
