Recommendation

Quarantined people deal with amplified anger, anxiety, fear and grief, which can take a serious toll on emotional and physical health. In this episode of the podcast Going Viral, medical historian Mark Honigsbaum interviews Professor Thomas Dixon, who offers a wealth of survey data on how people cope with lockdowns and personal tragedies in this era of coronavirus. Mark’s daughter Olivia speaks with Nancy Lublin, whose Crisis Text Line monitors how young people use technology to cope with isolation from friends.

Take-Aways

  • People cannot enjoy much direct social interaction during the coronavirus pandemic. 
  • Some people have embraced positive aspects of the lockdown, while others focus only on the negatives.
  • One of the most heartbreaking aspects of COVID-19 is its separation of mortally ill patients from their loved ones at the time of death.
