Microsoft CEO and his family are also feeling somewhat similar. In a recent mail that he sent his colleagues, he shared this feeling with everyone, stating, ¡°We are in uncharted territory. Much is unknown, and I know how unsettling and uncertain this feels. Like many of you, there have been times over the past weeks where it has felt overwhelming and all-encompassing for me.¡±

He further added, ¡°I worry about the health and safety of my family, my co-workers, and friends. My wife and I worry for her aging parents, who are far away from us in India. I see the struggle in our local community, and around the world, the empty streets and restaurants, and I wonder when our social fabric will be restored.¡±

However, he strives to remain positive amidst all the negativity he¡¯s surrounded by, asking everyone to think as one, as not just one state or country, but a global community as a whole.

He said, ¡°One truth that brings me comfort is just as this virus has no borders, its cure will have no borders. We are all in this together as a global community. For me, the best way I¡¯ve found to get past this anxiety is to focus on what I can do each day to make a small difference.¡±

He further added, urging the world to be hopeful and take steps in the direction of bettering the current situation.

He said, ¡°Each of us, wherever we are, has the opportunity to do the same ¨C take an action-driven by hope, a small step that makes things a bit better. And if everyone does something that makes the world a bit better, our collective work will in fact make the world a lot better, for the people we love, for our communities, for society.¡±
