在自然灾害期间发生的紧急情况，如雪崩、地震和洪水，往往是突然的、意想不到的和短暂的，并招募防御反应，类似于面对危险动物时招募的反应。防御行为是由生存回路中探测到迫在眉睫的威胁的活动触发的，恐惧是紧随其后的有意识的情绪。但这种特殊的威胁(新冠肺炎)是可用的和神秘的，引发的焦虑要比恐惧多得多。应用计算机检索谷歌学者、心理信息和PubMed2020-05-01相关文献，检索词与新冠肺炎恐惧相关的文章28篇。我们根据论文的内容和含义将其分为六类：对未知事物的恐惧、社会孤立、疑病症、厌恶、信息驱动的恐惧和顺从。考虑到恐惧和焦虑的性质，结合新冠肺炎现状的特点，我们认为几个专科的医生和其他医护人员以及警察、消防员、救援人员和急救人员可能更有能力应对新冠肺炎，如果他们有(A)对未知事物的一些容忍，(B)低疾病焦虑症，(C)对社交孤立的容忍；(D)低水平的厌恶敏感；(E)获得财政支持；(F)在需要时获得优先医疗援助；(G)相对于新冠肺炎媒体的报道持谨慎态度；(H)接受培训，使之具有高水平的疗效。还讨论了预防和治疗干预措施的可能性，以帮助卫生保健人员和普通民众。
Emergencies that occur during natural disasters, such as avalanches, earthquakes, and floods, tend to be sudden, unexpected, and ephemeral and recruit defensive responses, similar to the ones recruited when faced with dangerous animals. Defensive behaviors are triggered by activity in survival circuits that detects imminent threats and fear is the conscious emotion of that follows immediately. But this particular threat (COVID-19) is useable and mysterious, triggering anxieties much more than fear. We conducted a literature search on May 1, 2020 in Google Scholar, PsychInfo, and PubMed with search terms related to COVID-19 fears and found 28 relevant articles. We categorized the papers into six groups based on the content and implications: fear of the unknown, social isolation, hypochondriasis, disgust, information-driven fears, and compliance. Considering the nature of fear and anxiety, combined with the characteristics of the present COVID-19 situation, we contemplate that physicians and other health care workers of several specialties, as well as police officers, fire-fighters, and rescue personnel, and first responders might be more able to deal with COVID-19 if they have (a) some tolerance of the unknown, (b) low illness anxiety disorder, (c) tolerance to social isolation; (d) low levels of disgust sensitivity; (e) be granted financial support, (f) have priority if needed medical assistance (g) use caution relatively to the COVID-19 media coverage and (h) be trained to have high levels of efficacy. Possibilities for preventive and therapeutic interventions that can help both health care personnel and the general population are also discussed.
