Some will take longer than others to reacclimatise, it’s perfectly normal. Indeed. They need encouraging though... not having the problem exacerbated.

Oh yeah, it's fine to be personally cautious. Don't see why they should have their feeling put over mine with restrictions though.

Ozanne Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) https://www.ft.com/content/3cac455e-e9be-498f-8d51-2d250513d7de COVID anxiety syndrome is a real condition that has been looked into by experts. This is the following from the above article: The researchers have identified what they call “Covid-19 anxiety syndrome” — a fear of the virus that they believe may stop people from returning to crowds when restrictions lift. Spada says the syndrome is “a constellation of forms of coping that could keep people stuck in the fear/anxiety response”, such as avoiding public places and constantly checking news updates, and “may precipitate the development of other mental-health difficulties in the long run, such as clinical health anxiety and agoraphobia”. One in five people they surveyed scored highly on a scale identifying the syndrome. Edited June 22, 2021 by Ozanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan1984 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Have none of you posted She Who Must Not Be Named’s latest Twitter thread? I’m surprised… Can definitely see Covid anxiety taking hold. A weird, selfish person I know who spent every weekend last year travelling around the country with people outside their bubble was going on about how uncomfortable a day trip to London made them feel recently.

Billy Corgan's Ego Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Covid is absolutely rampant in Scotland now. 2,100 cases today - the equivalent amount in England alone would be 21000!! I now know so many people who are testing positive or are self isolating. Allowing Delta to freely circulate in the UK is one of the biggest mistakes to date.

We are nearly at herd immunity anyway but football matches where the entire crowd is either double jabbed or have LFTs will have minimal impact on the spread.

DeanoL Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 COVID anxiety is not just a thing, it's perfectly normal and natural. If your friend dies in a car accident, next time you're on the motorway, you're going to feel a bit more anxious. If a parent dies of lung cancer, you might finally give up smoking. Whenever someone near to us dies it's totally natural and normal to be hyper-conscious about that cause of death. It may not be rational, it may well be a "total failure to comprehend risk" but it's not at all weird or abnormal. In a country where 128,000 people have died from COVID in the last year or so, lots of people are going to be hyper-conscious of COVID right now. If they weren't I'd think something was wrong. I'd imagine you'll find a correlation between those who have dealt with deaths of those close to them of COVID and any anxiety. And between those who haven't lost anyone who just can't get their head around it. What does astound me though is that some of the people who have spent six months on here going on and on about the terrible impact of lockdown on mental health are now telling people suffering from anxiety about the world re-opening to "get a fucking grip". 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan_Glasto Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 I feel like I am hearing of more people I know either getting Covid or having to isolate as a close contact, than I did at the height of the pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
