People with Coronavirus Symptoms More Likely to Have Psychiatric Disorders and Loneliness

It's possible that introverts cope with social distancing and masks better than extroverts do. In the video below, a psychologist says social distancing and masks may lead to a breakdown of our society because people will become stressed.


Having a job and living with a partner are significant protective factors against general psychiatric disorders and loneliness, says the study in the journal Psychiatry Research, based on 15,530 UK respondents, which is described as the first such large-scale, nationally representative survey in a developed country.

Maybe the people have disorders and that is causing their corona symptoms... ie "co-morbidities"...

It's the testing, Matt. Testing. It's the "perfect" and "beautiful" testing taking place, like there's no tomorrow, all across America that is behind the increase in corona virus symptons/cases -- even deaths. Don't take it from me -- take it from the orange f--king moron occupying like a maggot on shit the White House.

For NeilW: Just a reminder that when the median age of covid deaths is mentioned, the country/ies it refers to should also be mentioned. Remember: America, for example, is special -- and that includes its measures of central tendency :)

Also, NeilW, Covid-19 is debilitating to both young and old. Just because the chances of dying from it are very slim if you're young does not mean you're rid of it for good. Look at Chris Cuomo of CNN. This guy since testing positive a few months looks like he's aged at least 10 years; he looks haggard :(

Keep hearing "the effective death rate this, the effective death rate that." Well, last I checked, the effective death rate for all living organisms, including us humans, is 1. Just mentioning this lest anyone here thinks he's going to live forever ;)

Otoh, many are enjoying their break from wage-slavery - those $600 dollar checks are popular.

The question is why, in the 21 Century, so much wage, debt and rent slavery exists in the USA? A major reason is an unethical, obsolete, Gold Standard banking model that the MMT School has no apparent intention of abolishing.

Scientists don't know the full extent yet, but lots of people could be left with permanent injuries, young and old. It can make men infertile too.

Humans need relationships and contact, so we will need to find way to social distance and socialise. Social distancing and masks are only for public places and work. I'm sure we will cope with it. I'm still hoping for a vaccine, and as we are so advanced in genetic engineering maybe we will come up with something.

The tests are detecting DNA fragments of destroyed viruses...

No hair and makeup technicians from home studios... they all look like this....

Individual cases does not an aggregate make. That's the Tabloid Fallacy. The impact on the under 40s is statistically negligible and there is no material evidence of any note otherwise. Stopping the majority of the population from getting on with their lives for a few isolated individuals isn't an acceptable tradeoff.

There are always immune compromised people in society. We haven't as yet stopped the world for their benefit.

The reason the press focusses upon individual cases is to keep you scared. Life is risky - as Grant Imahara found out last week. What should we stop because he died young?

What this all boils down to is a set of people who can't handle risk. They don't have the emotional maturity to accept that life isn't safe and you will die at some point. Likely a result of the way they were brought up.

Fretting over a pandemic is the latest fad. It will pass.
