Dealing with anxiety about coronavirus

The coronavirus has started to ratchet up some anxiety. Here's how to combat that anxiety and focus on prevention.

I overcame my anxiety by reading Said Nursi's book: "Message For The Sick".
I definitely recommend it to everyone.
"O sick person who worries unnecessarily! You worry at the severity of your illness and that worry increases it. If you want your illness to be less severe, try not to worry. That is, think of the benefits of your illness, the recompense for it, and that it will pass quickly; it will remove the worry and cut the illness at the root. Indeed, worry increases illness twice over. Worry causes an immaterial illness of the heart beneath the physical illness; the physical illness rests on that and persists. If the worry ceases through submission, contentment, and thinking of the wisdom in the illness, an important part of the illness is extirpated; it becomes lighter and in part disappears. "
