A common explanation of fear is that it is:
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real
So real is this false evidence that both the fear and the evidence cause a corruption of confidence.
In other words, people encounter information and trust it to the point that that confidence in the information causes fear.
Confidence in information should create an understanding of knowing what to do.
However, when confidence in information creates fear, this then means that the information did not help you understand what to do.
Therefore, by recent example, to be afraid of the coronavirus means that the information you are receiving is false evidence appearing real.
And this is why you fear when you fear.
