_Kubler Ross Model

People feared when our country's corona count was 100. But now, there is no fear when it is over 170,000.

The answer lies in the psychological view of man.  There is a philosophy called the "Kubler Ross Model".

That is, when a human goes through any tragedy, natural disaster, accident, they pass  through 5 stages.  They are--

  1.Denial
  2.Anger
  3.Bargain
  4.Depression
  5.Acceptance

_1. *Denial* - Refusal to believe such a thing never happened.  For example, we all denied that Corona will not come to us.  Even it comes ,  repeated denial  that it will not spread to our place due to hot climatic conditions._

_2. *Anger* - Getting angry.  For example,  anger over the loss of income and the loss of normal life due to lockdown._

_3. *Bargain* - Inwardly lamenting that the Corona may not have come and there should not have been a lockdown at all._

_4.  *Depression* - It happened like this and goes in to  mental pressure and depression._

_5. *Acceptance* - the last stage.  The other way around is to accept it.  Example: Get used to live with Corona._

These 5 levels are not limited to Corona alone. Applies to all the problems in human life.

_The worst sufferers are the ones who do not reach Acceptance level and remain stuck in previous levels.
