This is classic anxiety. I've spoke with a surprising number of people who've never experienced something like this before, never thought they could get anxiety/panic attacks, think they have the virus, etc. In some cases, even a mild fever (99-100) isn't crazy; the human body is a fucked up piece of machinery, and reading all the news every day, even comments like the one I'm writing, it starts convincing itself that it has the virus even when it doesn't. You just need to disconnect. Its both hard, and easy. Play video games. Focus on work if you're able. Shut out the news, Trump, all of that. Try to meditate. Pray. Cook. Go for walks. If it gets especially bad, I've had a couple friends who have gotten anxiety prescriptions from their doctor over the phone (its very common right now).
