With any disaster.. it is popular belief that this will not happen to me and we behave irrationally and take things lights but beneath that there is stress and many a time rather than to behave responsibly we behave in idiotic ways... We need to stay informed, but don’t overdo media. While it is important to keep up to date on the rapidly changing information on COVID-19 in your community, the oversaturation of information can add to stress. Talk to your people (whom you are referring ) and other family members about COVID-19. Choose a safe, comfortable place and time to openly discuss the reason for the changes to their lives. Social narratives, which draw on text and pictures to talk about situations and responses, can be a useful tool. Remember, children may have difficulty expressing their feelings in words and sometimes anxiety, fear and frustration can be expressed through challenging behaviors. Other children may express these feelings through play. Answer their questions and assure them of the shared goal to keep everyone safe.

Please explain that you might be safe and ignorant but elders and high risk people in their family and community could be affected.
