COVID-19
Global pandemic or Panic Crisis?
Food for thought
Why did us humans
respond to the
COVID-19 outbreak
by panicking?
Is it because
COVID-19 is a
genuine threat
to health?
Yes – but no.
Let’s look at the data
“The seasonal flu
kills 20X more
people than
COVID-19, daily.”
Statistically speaking – You’re more likely
to die from the common cold that the
coronavirus.
So if there isn’t a
significant health
threat, why are we
panicking?
Well, us Britons
kind of didn’t
panic at all…
Unless you consider the possibility
of panic buying toilet rolls & hand
sanitiser falling under “nothing”…
Where-as Paris, Italy and
Spain are on lockdown
So, why is there such a difference
in reaction to the pandemic from
nation to nation?
There is always more than one
solution to the same problem.
• Britain: Heard immunity strategy – the goal is to infect approximately 60% of the
population in order to build immunity to the virus across the nation. To a point where
the immunity rate is so high, the exponential spread of the virus begins falling.
• The rest of the world: Isolation strategy – Reduce human contact until individual
cases drop, then begin rebuilding society whilst distributing a vaccine.
Which
strategy
is best?
Only time will tell
Is “the media”
responsible for
the outbreak of
panic?
It’s hard to prove this – but if you consider a
world without “the media” would you even
be aware of the COVID-19 outbreak –
probably not.
Final thinking point…
Is it possible that we have lost control of the message behind the pandemic - before loosing
control of the pandemic itself?
Personally, I think yes.
What are your thoughts?
