I have found that one of the best ways to combat fear is to gain reliable knowledge from reliable, trusted sources that have experience in what they are talking about. When it comes to this virus, there are many people sharing their expertise in working with viruses so that we can take a reasonable approach to dealing with the situation.
Some of these reasonable experienced people are listed below. I have watched each one of these videos and recommend them highly. They are well worth your time to watch. As you consider the information they present, I believe you will find good reason to overcome any fears you may have. In addition, you will be able to take reasonable action to protect yourselves during this amazing time and experience we are going through.
A few more things I would suggest for combating fear include:

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not put in a plug for my beautiful harp music. These past few weeks, I have put up a couple of new videos for free on YouTube with a couple more coming in the next few days.

Below are 3 respected and knowledgeable sources that I highly recommend:
In closing I would like you to consider the words of Teddy Roosevelt, which he relayed in a 1910 speech.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
This is to encourage you to take charge of your own destiny; your own health. If you wait around for the government or the medical system or any other “authority” to make things safe for you to avoid making a mistake, then you are destined to experience the same future as the masses around you that are paralyzed by fear. I encourage you to “spend yourself in a worthy cause” so that you can overcome this fear that has panicked so many; and take a different road to a brighter future.
I end by quoting from a poem by Robert Frost:
The Road Not Taken
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”
