Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is followed by a pandemic of fear. Coronavirus and fear are dominant in both private communication and public discourse. We are living in the field of „the new normalcy“ which is shaped by a „floating fear„. Fear is nothing but a common name for a feeling of insecurity and a space of uncertainty accompanied by our inability to figure out the sources of danger which we are exposed to. Both individuals and communities defend themselves to overcome the fear. The history of civilization is nothing but a particular „school of courage“. Fear and courage are the strongest urges. A society chained by fear is not a free society
