        I'm too scared to go to the loo - in case I run low on toilet paper.

        Q that I’ve been meaning to ask: not seen any reports of “in airplane” spread (which I take to imply fits with not airborne). Or is it just that I’ve been not reading the right reports?

        Of course panic is a killer. Easy example - if I were to get sick with flu-like symptoms today, I wouldn't be able to access a mask to stop myself infecting other people because they're all sold out already

        Should I let the Ministers fear control my decision of whether or not to cancel my Ski trip to Northern Italy next week ?

        Just be aware that quarantines are starting to get enforced in some places in Europe , also in Italy and that it could possibly happen to you to be in it...

        Lack of control can cause people to become fearful and panic! Truth is, although we try to reassure ourselves that it isn’t the case, we have very little control over events in our life. The only control we have is how we react to them. Your article is very timely!
