An effective and simple way to make a positive difference under these circumstances can be, to just address the topic with those around you. There is a lot of confusion, misinformation and concern going around that in my experience, is quite often simply the result of people not being able to digest the massive amount of information currently being presented.

Having a good grip on what is factually accurate, especially online, is hard enough, when ones lives aren't dominated by a novel virus. If you find the time to clear up a few misunderstandings, whilst also teaching, how one can stay informed about the current situation and how to handle it, that alone can make a great impact.
