Don't worry about it! Has there ever been a phrase more likely to make you, you know, worry about it? Dismissing your concerns about the coronavirus outright probably won't help the concerns go away. Over the last two weeks, we've talked to a few psychologists, and they had one common suggestion: If you are worried, or frustrated, or fearful, or angry about something, that's okay. Your feelings are valid. Of course, being a ball of anxiety isn't exactly the healthiest way to get through this difficult time, so instead, approach your emotions gently. Examine your fears. Talk to loved ones about them (even if it's just over the phone). And, most importantly, stay safe and informed. Here are the latest resources and updates: Follow the latest news about the outbreak: There are now more cases of the virus outside of China than within, marking an ominous shift in the disease. More than 6,500 people have died of the disease worldwide.

Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders lobbed attacks at each other during last night's debate in Washington, but there were two things they did agree on. One: that women are high on their VP nomination lists. Biden outright pledged to pick a woman for his running mate, while Sanders said he is strongly considering it. Two: that they, as Biden said, "fundamentally disagree with this president on everything." On the subject of the coronavirus, the two men displayed different philosophies. Biden said he would leverage the military to respond and said the American people would want "results, not a revolution" in tackling the crisis. Sanders took a 30,000 foot view, and said the current situation in the US highlights the flaws in the current US health care and economic system. | |  | | Syria

A military base in Iraq was struck with a second rocket attack in a week, injuring three Americans and several other Iraqi and coalition personnel. The Joint Operations Command in the region described the attack as "brutal" and said the injured Iraqis were "all in a critical condition." Rocket attacks in Iraq have ramped up in recent weeks. Previous attacks on US and coalition forces have been attributed to an Iranian-backed group, sparking concern that aggressions in the area could soon boil over again. | |  | | Dead Sea Scrolls
The Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC has learned that all 16 of its Dead Sea Scroll fragments are forgeries, and the expensive revelation could be one of the most significant shams in biblical archeology's history. The Dead Sea Scrolls are among archaeology's most significant scriptural finds, containing the oldest versions of the Hebrew Bible and other Jewish texts that date to the time of Jesus. Portions of these manuscripts are highly coveted artifacts, and authentic ones can fetch millions per piece at auction. Experts say the forgers probably used ancient scraps of leather, but their mistake was in the ink: A report on the forgeries says they used modern materials to write the text. | |  |  People are talking about these.
