Everyone’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic is different. There are those who are afraid, those who learn and there are those who become wiser.
A while ago, infographics were posted on social media of the three zones of our emotions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The three zones are as follows:
Fear Zone:
- Get angry easily
- Complain a lot
