Whatever your politics , whoever you blame, however itchy your getting with isolation, however much you want to take your anger out against ’them”, whatever mistakes have been made, whether you believe it escaped from a lab, blame the CIA, China, think its a myth, think you can’t cope. BULLSHIT !!!
Big angry feelings, though big are not as big as the fact that
PEOPLE ARE DYING AND PEOPLE ARE TREATING ILL AND DYING PEOPLE . 

Against these big angry claustrophobic feelings many  have is your huge reservoir of compassion love for those you close to you, your huge reservoir of patience and good humour, your kindness. 
Your ability to cope, to draw on your strength is going to constantly surprise you, your ability to help others cope is going to surprise you.
Before antibiotics and modern medicine we had to live with threat of disease and disaster. Obviously not a good thing, but however much we think we are in the driving seat all the time, we are not, but acceptance that total control total safety is a myth is a good thing. 
However strong and positive you are, you may still get the disease. You are simply getting stronger , preparing yourself it is not a “miracle cure” to be debunked.
if you are in isolation, and going crazy with boredom, the sound of others voices, the way they eat, get a life! that is easy compared to what the bereaved, the carers, the nurses, the doctors are dealing with all the time
Whatever mistakes may have been made are dwarfed by the size of the problem. 
Humans have a much better and longer record of survival than this virus, so don’t get in a tizz.
