Hello ...(name)
How are you? I hope you are fine. If you dont know me my name is... . As a Hindu editor i want to tell you about tge issues regarding coronavirus or covid-19. And in this specific topic i want you to know about the peoples fear and how to cure it. As i begin most peoples in india are afraid of this virus. Not only being afraid they are excluting peoples away even if they have no corona virus. The fear around coronavirus is higher in India than most Western countries, but less so compared to other Asian.
In India, 62 percent of respondents on an average said they were scared of contracting the virus. This is lower than figures elsewhere in the continent, barring Singapore, which reported slightly lower numbers. However, this figure is higher than that in most Western countries. Even though case counts and fatalities have been relatively higher in Europe and the US compared to most Asian peers, the fear of the virus appears to be lower there than in most Asian countries.
The analysis is based on a global YouGov survey that started with eight Asia-Pacific countries in early February, and was scaled up to cover 26 countries by mid-March. Over the past few weeks, at least a thousand respondents were interviewed each week in each of the 26 countries. In all these countries, the survey has run for at least five weeks, and offers a window into people’s reactions to the spread of the virus and the measures taken to contain it.In most countries, fear levels rose in response to the mounting case count and government efforts to contain the pandemic over the past few weeks. As schools and offices shut down, government responses ranging from mobility restrictions to complete lockdown may have accentuated fears, suggests the data. A higher proportion of respondents reported moderate to high degree of fear of contracting the virus in the week.
In India, the survey has run for seven weeks and solicited the views of 7,383 respondents. Given that the survey was conducted online in a country with low rural internet penetration, it only attempted to cover urban Indians.
In most countries, fear levels rose in response to the mounting case count and government efforts to contain the pandemic over the past few weeks.
The jump in fear levels is particularly stark for countries such as France, Australia and the UK, where the proportion reporting high levels of fear nearly doubled after lockdown measures were introduced.
The lockdown measures also bred fears about access to different amenities. In India, more people were worried about the availability of essentials (food items, medicines, etc.) than they have been about falling sick. 37 percent of respondents expressed such fears, 25 percent were worried about access to health services, 22 percent about their mental health, 20 percent about losing jobs, and an additional 16 percent were worried about pay cuts.Indian respondents also rated government actions to contain the pandemic more favourably compared to their peers elsewhere. A cross-country comparison of government approval ratings from the YouGov poll with the lockdown stringency index developed by the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford University suggests that approval ratings are higher in countries with more stringent restrictions.Even though lockdown measures may have been described as authoritarian in many countries, leaders across countries may simply be reacting to public opinion on covid-19, or at least to the opinions of those among the public who are connected to the web, and can make their views known to the wider world. What i need to say is that most people's in india are very afraid of this virus. And we have some steps to cure this virus. And one of it is Doing What Matters in Times of Stress: An Illustrated Guide is a stress management guide for coping with adversity.
