Just food for though. Covid has had some really negative side affects for some people. It's called long-haul covid, and one of the side effects can be really bad anxiety. One of my friends started having panic attacks about 2 weeks after he caught covid. It lasted about a month (in diminishing returns) until he was himself again. It is possible that some of this is a legitimate reaction to Covid, assuming he's having really bad anxiety/depression.

Oh, and I know that story was anecdotal, but I give it because my friend is not a cower-in-fear type of person. He's a hard-nose blue collar type. He had to go on disability for a month to provide for his family, and it was NOT easy for him.
