About this episode
In this episode Juan and Kyrin discuss all things related to panic. With the current growth of the coronavirus we are all seeing radical changes to the normality that we have grown used to. This can and already has led to some panic situations in crowded areas, granted though it was fighting over toilet paper.
The boys talk about the link between panic and the underlying emotion of fear and anger. They also look at moral panics that have occurred through history and the contagiousness that can be spread, especially in war time scenarios. Panic attacks are also a common phenomenon and something that Kyrin in particular has experienced.
