How to cure: The Corona virus

First of all lets get this straight, as seen above from the title of this blog this is the correct way to spell Corona virus, as there seems to be a frenzy of several spelling mistakes of this word on twitter. So, as you all must know by now there has been a horrible virus that has stormed it's way into 2020, classing itself as an international pandemic by the World Health Organisation. It's ruthless attack on Wuhan, China was witnessed worldwide, and despite several attempts to contain the virus, this sudden outbreak of the virus began to spread to several other countries, leading to a widespread panic.

Currently, the figures state that 198,166 have been affected by the Corona virus, which only accounts for the cases reported. Some say that this number is much higher than we believe, as there could be several undetected cases. Out of 89,692 closed cases 81,727 have fully recovered, which would mean that 91% of these people with the Corona virus have fully recovered and have been discharged from hospital. So while looking at the figures, you may see that the virus is not as apocalyptic as the mass media is making you believe. Now, I just want to point out that I am not trying to underestimate the extent of this virus or downplay it as I know it's severity and understand the affect it has on peoples bodies, especially people with compromised immune system and pre-existing health conditions. But my main aim of this blog is not to cure the Corona virus itself, but cure the widespread panic attached to it.

I believe that supporting people to relieve the fear and panic they feel due to this virus, will strengthen us all to fight through this pandemic. I say this because fear is a very dangerous disease and it can lead to people doing unreasonable things such as panic buying. Fear also controls the well being of many individuals and for people with anxiety this can lead them into a spiral where they no longer have control over their own thoughts,leading them to experience debilitating panic attacks and disabling them from their day to day routine. Unfortunately, due to the immense coverage of this deadly virus that has been portrayed by the media as a weapon of mass destruction, many people will be overtaken by fear. But, I have come to tell you that this is not true, as the media is controlled by fake news, so to allow these news reports and latest announcements to scare you would be a huge mistake.

Therefore, my advice to you will be to trust the Lord and only allow the fear of the Lord to consume your hearts . This sudden virus is not worthy of all your thoughts and attention but God alone. Cast all your worries and anxieties onto the Lord. He will sustain you as he cares about you, so don't be afraid. Without the fear of the Lord in our hearts, the fear of the Corona virus will consume you. We don't need to go through this widespread stress and panic as a generation and if you believe this to be true, seek the Lord and you may find him, ask him and it shall be given to you. Most importantly stay strong guys do not let this virus breed fear in your hearts, stay grounded and remember to question every article you read. Don't worry guys, everyone reading this I assure you, that you will be fine. Stay blessed and remember to follow your governments guidelines and protocols about staying safe during the outbreak.

Lots of love, I.G

P.s: I just want to make a disclaimer that I don't actually have a cure for the Corona virus, just in case you were wondering after reading the title.
