! ( ith the second surge of Covid-19 creating havoc, a pall of gloom has descended around us. It is only Wnatural, when no answer is in sight and science appears clueless while governments are helpless. The unfortunate part is that no one knows how long this will persist. While vaccinations do show up as a silver lining, negativi- ties continue to mount and fear of death has gripped all and sundry. In such a bleak scenario faith and hope appear to be the best antidotes to cope with the stress that the coronavirus scare has created. True, the pandemic has shaken our faith and hope is dwindling as people find themselves hap- less victims. But there is need to realise that under such circumstances when darkness is all around, only God provides the succour. It is a fact that fear and anxiety have led to thanatophobia, a pervasive fear of death and people are getting depressed. It is this mindset that is creating more problems than the virus itself. Coming out of this depression is important for the society if it has to recover from the ill effects of the pandemic. Just see how it has impacted the society. Even though more than 97 percent of the people are recovering with little effort and basic medical support, and only three percent or less are threatened, yet most people fear that their life is going to come to an end. This fear creates melan- cholia and aggravates the severity of the disease. There is enough evidence to suggest that a direct inverse correlation exists between fear and anxiety on one hand and immunity on the other. Interestingly, anxiety due to thanatophobia creates symptoms like shortness of breath, palpitations, nger and stress have thoughts, let us try to listen carefully to Become an Ambassador of Peace: ly.
