The Washington Post reported on a survey by Kaiser Family Foundation of the distress among people on account of Covid. Just under half reported significant psychological stress.
People are afraid—there is a fear of the virus itself, fear for family members, fear of finances and more. There is uncertainty as to how long this is going to last, which results in the sense that life is out of control.
