How to persuade stubborn loved ones to isolate themselves

Some of the gym fanatics do not stop the coronary from continuing their normal days at the gym.

For most of us, this is a surprising sight. COVID-19 can spread to anyone, while symptoms may not be that serious in some people.

According to Charlotte Armitage, business psychologist at YAFTA Consultancy, it's not just because people are “goists”. She said: “After all, society is seeking to make major changes in the way they operate in a very short timespace”.

We have to postpone the severity of the situation to people, but doing so in a way that their alienation may not work.

She says the best thing to do is to explain the reality of the virus and possible risks to their health and the impact on society.

Whatever, our survival instincts work to protect us when we perceive a threat, so if people become aware of the possible threats of the virus to themselves or their families, this could have an impact on how they behave”.

So instead of using words such as “egotistice”, stick to evidence and clear evidence.

Charlotte also recommends giving to those who are not yet in isolation a hand and preparation for the time.
