Panic does not make sense; panic does not solve the problem, but only exacerbates them. After all, everyone will agree with me that solving problems is easier when you do it calmly. If you lead a healthy lifestyle and if you have no problems with the lungs, then this virus is not a threat to you.

In the original Star Trek series, Kirk was out of the picture for the moment. Spock was acting captain. Spock calmly and logically tried this and tried that to get them all out of the situation they were in, and save Kirk's life. After a time, when everything failed, Spock broke and became panicky emotional.

Later, after everybody was saved, Bones prodded Spock a little about the fact that he lost it, and became emotional. Spock's response was that when all logic failed, the only logical thing left was to become emotional.

Panic has its place. It's just that we don't know where that place is.

Cool
