But that all misses the point. 20% of people who survive symptomatic Covid-19 having a new mental illness is bad. But 10% of the entire population developing a new mental illness every three months is much worse!
That’s more than a third of the population each year. That’s… really terrible.
I don’t think you can generalize from people developing a new mental illness in 2020 to the rate being the same all years. Our social distancing measures are going to produce some mental illness.
