According to WHO reports In public mental health terms, the main psychological impact to date is elevated rates of stress or anxiety. But as new measures and impacts are introduced – especially quarantine and its effects on many people’s usual activities, routines or livelihoods – levels of loneliness, depression, harmful alcohol and drug use, and self-harm or suicidal behaviour are also expected to rise.

Relatively new joke: Today I woke up, the symptoms are as follows: the temperature is normal, there is no cough, a runny nose too - it's a very bad thing, probably asymptomatic Covid19.
I think we should continue our work, spend time with family، Doing our hobbies like reading and watching movies.

Dear all, feeling under pressure is like living under colonialism, loss of liberty and freedom. The results are excessive and accumulated stresses which among many desastrous effects, stresses destroy immune system and consequently the appearence of all kinés of cronic deseases. My Regards
Meticulously following trusted doctors' recommendations in reducing a risk of getting exposed to a coronavirus seems like a right way in reducing mental pressure. In all other respects, do the things you like or ought to do.
To get rid of this feeling a person can do all those things which are interesting and meaningful and are possible indoors. For example; spending time with family, exercising at home, studying online, communicating with friends through social media, reading, writing a review paper or even a novel, creating crafts, a new recipe or a great piece of art, redecorating or organizing your home, finding new hobbies, praying, meditation and trying to find the meaning of your life, etc
Regular physical exercise, the practice of meditation/Yoga might be helpful.
Preoccupation with prayer and remembrance of God with preoccupation with teaching and scientific research.
Interesting discussion.
Thank you prof. Paris Ziarati.
Yoga With Adriene is an awesome coping skill practice. Watch and see if it speaks to you, and if it does start the daily practice .. go as far with the video as suits you then stop. Eventually you’ll be practicing the entire thing. Adriene is an extraordinary teacher and I can’t complement her more!! Really good coping skills .. These videos are in the United States on YouTube. Hopefully they can be accessed worldwid.

resilience or practicing different coping mechanism like spirituality, physical exercise , making yourself busy with reading different books espiecally those helps to be more resilient e.g. William hammerman 'happiness in life'
Since there are many diffrent cases we cant think about one optimal solution. But basicly person need to do evrithyng in its power to not think about it he needs to turn off tv news when they start to talk about covid and do focus hismelf do to as much work that doesnt require much thinking and focusing like playing video games. But unfortinatly this can apply on people that has secure job and only beed to stay home, cuz when it comes to people that work for private companies they will focus on work and fear that they will lose their job in yheir cases anxiety is inevitable.
As time is passing by, the pandemic's consequences get exacerbated loading more psychological pressure on people. Nevertheless, one should thoroughly follow medical common sense recommendations and requirements. It's a deadly test on peoples and countries' level of maturity and resilience.

Most of the pressure comes from thinking of the bad news that we hear and see every day. Unfortunately, at the moment, we can not be far away from this pandemic, but at least and in my opinion, we can reduce this pressure by good and effective use of time, and try not to watch and follow so much news, this can be done by determining, for example, one or two times per day for opening Social Media and News Channels.
trying to concentrate my mind in writing a review article, reading and downloading a lot of supporting papers, and this takes a lot of energy away, from feeling stressed. And an obligatory fast walk daily for 30 minutes helps, too.
Corona fear has created much pressure among humans. But in one or other way, it is also a gift of God for some invisible good reasons. Those who believes in this fact are not under pressure at all, and taking Corona similar to other contagious diseases. Hope the fear business will soon collapse.
