Anxiety Contagion: Science and Solutions
Briefly

Sustained anxiety is bad for your health; panic decreases immune function, making you more susceptible to illness and increasing your risk of infection.
The sympathetic nervous system triggers stress hormone release in emergencies, leading to a decline in health if anxiety continues unchecked.
Limit screen time and news checking to manage anxiety; obsessive updates increase stress without providing actionable information to feel secure.
Ensure you check only reputable sources for news, as unreliable information can exacerbate anxiety, leading to increased susceptibility to stress.
