Thanks so much for this very insightful and helpful article. It's feels really good to hear how other people overcome feelings of fear in their lives. What i'm feeling right now is that people are fearful of getting close to one another.

Luckily yesterday when I went to one grocery store, the people in that store were not moving away from me and it felt normal and it was such a relief. I was so thankful to everyone who moved close to me, it felt good.

Then when I went into the other store, they had an announcement stating that to keep distance from customers and staff and not get close. Customers were literally stopping when I came close and it was so obvious they were trying to avoid one another. This made me really angry, I had to shout out, "For Gosh Sakes" and then I had to calm down because this is not good to get angry and I have to remain calm and understand that people just don't know any better and are only doing what they are told to do.

My feelings about this virus, is there is no virus making people sick. The fear of isolation from one another, being cut off from each other, the fear of imprisonment of house arrest, the fear of catching this "disease demon," this is what is making people sick, not this so-called virus.

I have to admit, it makes me very upset if i'm treated like i'm infectious and people need to be afraid of me, it can cause me to become angry, sad, then feeling like i can't continue to live with people like this because it will run me down.

Imagine how hard it is for people who live alone and have little contact to begin with. Then going out and people running away from when they get close. This is very damaging I feel and detrimental to our health and well-being.

I would really like to hear your thoughts about this and how you feel and deal with what is going on. Thanks so much for writing this article.
