Since what? The initial shut down? Ok, what is your point.

No one in this thread is sitting around fretting about Covid itself. That's not the point.

People are saying that Covid impacted their lives in ways they are struggling to put back in order. It changed family planning, friendships and support systems, school environments, career paths. And people are still adjusting to those changes (which were in many cases, abrupt). They aren't still struggling with Covid itself. Covid was just a catalyst for other things that people are struggling with.

It would be like if you got breast cancer but caught it super early and responded well to the treatments and recovered in 20 months with no signs of recurrence. But the treatment required you to take a long leave of absence from work, you had to set aside plans to have another baby, and the experience really brought home your sense of your own mortality. You might still be struggling with how it changed your life. You might still be mourning the kid you didn't have and now don't feel you can. Your kids you do have might have developed anxiety or other issues due to their experience with your illness. You might feel like you can't return to your pre-cancer life but be unsure what your post-cancer life looks like. You might worry a lot about what happens if it comes back.

Why is this hard to understand? It's like a willful refusal.[/quote]
