President Trump confessed that for the last few weeks he's been missing something: touching his face. He's not alone.
"Fear and hysteria are the biggest things we fight other than the virus itself,” said Joseph Fair, a virologist and outbreak response specialist."Fear, hysteria, hoaxes, conspiracy theories, everything else — 50 percent if not more of containing the outbreak is that, be it this outbreak or others.”Fears over face touching have become the hallmark of anxiety surrounding the coronavirus' spread, and anxiety manifesting as behavioral changes is common, experts told NBC News.
"If someone bought a pack of surgical masks and feels better having them in their living room and that's it, it's not the end of the world, versus somebody who hasn't left their house in three weeks and says, ‘I'm not going to leave until this is settled,'” Scarella said. He equated that particular anxiety to the everyday nagging feeling that someone left home without turning off the lights.
Scarella said one possible danger of the growing concern around the coronavirus is the treatment of those perceived to be from regions where the infection was first discovered. He likened it to the hysteria around the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
