Is The Fear of COVID 19 Justified?

By Valarie O’Neill

In this blog post I am comparing past pandemics to the current Coronavirus. The Pandemics I will be discussing are the Swine flu, the Spanish flu, and Influenza. How does COVID-19 compare to each and would you be able to say that the fear factor for COVID is justified? 

Swine flu

Went from 2009-2010

The virus infected 4.1 billion people across the globe     and killed between 151,700-575,400 people overall

In the US 60.8 million people were infected and about     12,469 people died from it. (.001-.007 percent of the population)

Spanish Flu 

This pandemic lasted from 1918-1919/20

The Spanish Flu infected about 500 million people     during this time

The flu killed about 50 million people world-wide and     about 675,000 people in the United States. 

Influenza 

(Stats from 2018-2019)

An estimated 35.5 million getting sick from the virus     and about 34,200 deaths from it. 

COVID-19

COVID-19     started in 2019 to date (2020) so far

This     pandemic has had 6.5 million cases in the US and 194,000 deaths 

Worldwide     28.9 million people were infected and 922,000 have died from it.

Comparisons 

 This I feel should give people confidence to not be afraid to deal with COVID and to know that life goes on. 

CONCLUSION

Fear is false evidence that appears real; we have never had this much testing associated with pandemics as we did with COVID. A positive COVID test does not equate to a death and I feel that people are seeing it that way. There is no scientific evidence that proves wearing masks and shutting down stops the spread. Although I agree that people should be as safe as they can and protect themselves, I think that being in fear of something out of a person's control can be damaging to mental health. 

           So the question still stands, is the fear of COVID justifiable? In my personal opinion I disagree. Because not even 1% of the population has died from it puts into perspective how a virus can be taken out of context either in the media or any other outside source of information to the public. This does not take away from the fact that people have died from it, of course, but to constantly live in fear of something while a good majority of the population hasn’t experienced it causes unnecessary worry and fear. This is a virus that is most likely going to take more lives that is out of our control. Every year people die from influenza and various other viruses that are out of our control. We do the best we can by washing our hands and taking vitamins, but it doesn’t prevent everyone from getting a virus. We are taking even more precautions with COVID but people are still dying. This just proves that you could be the healthiest person on the planet but still contract COVID for unknown reasons. This shouldn’t instill fear in people, I think it should be a reminder to people that bad things are going to happen in life and that we need to handle it with care but keep on going and live life. If you lived in fear of everything for the rest of your life how would you be able to live?
