Am I slowly dying from fear of dying before I am even ill?

I read about people stranded inside a ship and quarantined in a hotel. A city bigger in population than the country I live in is on lockdown.

My husband is about to travel for business to another country, I start scrolling through the information about the Corona-numbers for that area. It’s close to zero.

I calm down just a little bit.

Many of us, respectable human beings, are relatively good at honouring commitments to other people. We are much more likely to deliver what we promised to another person, especially when there are a clear deadline and expectation. Even those of us who struggle with procrastination will still be quite likely to do our best to make things happen when someone else is waiting for it.

Many of us are not great with sticking to commitments that we have towards ourselves.
