Hi...We are all in this together and we need to respond with resilience.
This virus is selective in fatality. It searches a weaker host and then kills it and moves to another. Vaccination greatly reduces the risk of fatality.
We need to physically isolate ourselves from high human density places and follow covid appropriate behaviours (masking, sanitisation, social/physical distance).
Next Steps
Get Vaccinated and to address your anxiety you can seek Counselling by a Psychologist online. You can Google me or visit my Website (https://gunjanmaithil.wixsite.com/therapy)
Health Tips
Health Insurance cover for Self and Family is also a good option. Most providers are covering Covid-19 after 15 days of buying health insurance.
