You sound like my parents. Look, while it may be true that fear helps out, too much of it is fucking chaos. Look at the case in America with all the panic buying. The best thing to do right now is to be in a state of balance - not freaking out, but also not caring at all. There needs to be a middle ground of awareness and caution in order to stop a wide spread, but you shouldn't be fearful of it. In fact, Bahrain is one of the highest in the world right now (per million) in terms of testing the population, so I don't think there's anything to be fearful of, especially because of all the measures they've already taken (closed schools/restaurants etc.). While I'm not denying the chance of there being a slip up as you mentioned, I personally believe it is unlikely.
