It’s gloomy out there. We’ve got some advice for combatting the psychological heaviness, and for staying sane during these uncertain times.

The Latest on the Coronavirus We’re calling it plague dread. It’s that feeling that seems so inescapable right now, that sense of foreboding mixed with terror and boredom. As Amanda Mull put it: “For many, all that’s left to do is to sit at home and brace for an unimaginable impact.” But this feeling is escapable, at least partially. “A virus can invade our bodies, but we get to decide whether we let it invade our minds,” Lori Gottlieb, our Dear Therapist columnist, writes in her guide to staying sane during a pandemic.   If you’re seeking relief from plague dread today, try … … practicing the both/and method. “It’s horrible AND we can allow our souls to breathe.” … not checking the news every few minutes. “A daily update makes sense. But bingeing on up-to-the-minute news is like stress eating—it’s bloating our minds with unhealthy food that will make us feel sick.” … giving yourself the space to let go. “Some anxiety is productive—it’s what motivates us to wash our hands often and distance ourselves from others when there’s an important reason to do so … But unproductive anxiety— unchecked rumination—can make our mind spin in all kinds of frightening directions.” Lori also joined our new daily-ish podcast, Social Distance, to chat about coping with this crisis. Listen to the episode. One bonus tip: Try cooking a recipe that requires your full attention. Our culture writer Hannah Giorgis discovered a kind of meditative peace in stirring and stirring a risotto.

Lorenzo Sanz: Former Real Madrid president dies after contracting coronavirus

Former Real Madrid president Lorenzo Sanz died on Saturday after being hospitalised with coronavirus.

Sanz, 76, was president at the Bernabeu from 1995-2000, a period in which Real won the Champions League twice.

"My father has just died," wrote Sanz's son Lorenzo Sanz Duran on Twitter.

"He did not deserve this end in this manner. One of the best, most courageous and hard working people I have seen in my life. His family and Real Madrid were his passion."

Sanz signed players such as Roberto Carlos, Clarence Seedorf and Davor Suker during his time in charge of the 33-time Spanish champions,

He lost the 2000 presidential election to Florentino Perez, which sparked Real's big-spending 'Galatico' era.

Sanz's son Fernando, 46, played for Real Madrid from 1996-1999 before spending the final seven years of his career at Malaga.

They are "mitigating", which is a short-term and fatal strategy, favoured by short-term politicians. Suppression is the way to go.
