Yes.
In a high-stress environment, the best approach is to talk to other people, share ideas, discuss, etc. This helps to form a joint line of psychological defense against stress. Isolation and silence, on the other hand, are breeding grounds for stress. Reaching out to people and discussing what we think is happening is the best method of psychological hygiene in such situations.
It’s not important that we don’t know exactly what is happening right now. What matters is that we don’t stay silent and let anxiety mount. Remember that voicing whatever one is feeling is the best strategy to release stress and combat anxiety.
The worst thing one can do is to stay alone and isolated while letting a TV screen yell stressful things at you. Alone and isolated without a TV screen is much better.
