Fear

Imagine if there is 10 people in your dept, and each has to send 6 annoying work-related emails to anyone in that dept within 5 min. The chances are, everyone will end up receiving at least one email. 

The one that will receive the most emails is most likely the one who is most susceptible for it, like the team leader, and therefore most likely went into an outburst. 

The ones who will receive the least email are most likely the ones who people will go an extra length to avoid. Death-Stare Dan, for instance, or Gossiping Gina.

This is an analogy of how virus spread. Change email to virus. Susceptible person is someone with risk (age, immunity, underlying condition). 6 is a mock up virus spreading rate.

With a rate of 6 emails per 10 people each most likely receive at least one email, even the non-desirable people. With rate 3 per 10, it's plausible at least one didn't get any. With rate 8 to 10, it's Oprah mode on: "You get one, You get one, You all get one!!!"

If Covid19 live up to its influencing street cred we could easily already exposed to it, especially those who live in an area that has a lot of international coming and going. If there's case in a place like Ohio, we in LA don't really stand a chance on not ever exposed to it.

This is important because a lot of us seeing the virus as an entity that you can detect. That an area that has a Covid19 case is stained and should be avoided. A Covid19 patient will have Mushu coming and yelling: "Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family! Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow"

The truth is, we don't know who has it or not. We could already have it. 

This is why we should stop panicking about what to do to avoid getting Covid19, and instead focusing what to do to avoid spreading Covid19. Washing hands and good hygiene should be our current "You can't sit with us" standard. As well as identifying profiteer and ensure community punishment.

We can live in abundance of caution, but we can't live in fear. Fear combined with 2 weeks of isolation will most likely wreak havoc in your mind, and the insanity will seep through the world through the things you posted or reposted.

Congratulations. You are not spreading Covid19 anymore but you are spreading fear, which btw has a much, much, much higher infection rate and more fatalistic results. 

Understand what we are dealing with. Remove the fog of fear and see through the situation with clear objective eyes. Because in the end, the one thing that will hurt us most is not some aspiring virus. It's fear.
