Fear.What does it look like?

I decided to take an excerpt from my diary and share with you how my life has changed and what I fear during the Coronavirus.

Today is March 22. Since March 1, our life has changed radically, and we are locked up at home. Everything works remotely. We can't see each other. Like my friends and classmates I'm afraid of the changes that Coronavirus forced us to make. The virus left us with no choice but to stay behind the windows of the houses. I mentioned that I was afraid of changes in my life, and yes, I was afraid of empty streets. Now we can only see red and blue colors on the streets from the windows of the house.These are police cars; the sight of police officers in the cars somehow eases the fear that the city no longer has life. I am afraid of people who go to the store to stock up on an incredible amount of products, as if they feel that life is stopping, and people are preparing for winter sleep. I am afraid to see empty shelves in the store. I think that supplies have run out and there is no food anymore. Everything is closed except for grocery stores and no sound is heard in schools, entertainment centers, or restaurants. They are abandoned and empty. I fear the silence in the streets, which is already becoming unbearable. However, we all perfectly understand that today we all need to stay at home. Taking care of our health and the health of others is becoming a measure of humanity.

Fear. What does it look like?

They say that you are most afraid, it attracts you the most.This is fear. It feels like emptiness. Everything in your body begins to be cold. Blood freezes ,your legs begin to tremble and your hands become wet. Fear is the most powerful weapon. It can control everything.The world is close to apocalypse. Everyone is in panic and guess what-they are afraid. They feel fear from this virus, although it's not so scary.In truth, Covid 19 is dangerous for people who have chronic diseases. But, of course, someone is behind this global problem. They use people for their own plans, they manipulate our fears. They know that our loved ones are the most important and beloved for us. So they make the fear grow and the result is clear for us. The world lives in panic, everyone is afraid and during this time China buys stocks on the world’s market. I do not say that China is guilty, but in this situation, mostly that country uses our fears.
In fact, the virus is not as dangerous as it seems. I have other fears, not the virus.I get scared when I think someone is behind me. This is scary for me because I do not trust anyone completely. Moreover, every time I think about it, fear grows, and even when nobody is behind me, I have a feeling that someone is there. I am so scared and feel the cold in my veins. Feeling fear is the worst thing in the world, and if you cannot control it, it gets worse.
