Of all the countries in the world, one stands out as the most dynamic one when it comes to overcoming fear—Brazil. The leader of the country has boldly announced that he will not let fear destroy his country. About 4,000 people have died as of end April 2020, in a population of 200,000,000. How is it that the virus has not decimated the Brazilians?
While Brazil has gone to the other extreme and wiped out all panic, it is only wise that they should not wipe out precaution. The elderly and those with health conditions must protect themselves without letting panic take charge.
Here comes the biggest secret. The virus is not killing people! Fear is!! Those who use their intellect, realize that the virus is only causing an infection that is aggravating illness in people, especially the elderly. What is causing fatality is the panic. Fear is killing more people than the virus itself.
There are more indirect deaths because of this pandemic, rather than people who are directly dying of the disease. Starvation, boredom, domestic violence, suicide, and a lack of medical facilities caused by the panic created by the COVID-19 together are probably causing more deaths than the pandemic itself. However, fear makes us blind to the truth. It projects an illusion, just as it conceals the truth.
