The New York Times (12/13, A1, Cohen) reports the “sense of endlessness, accompanied by growing psychological distress leading to depression” resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, “was a recurrent theme in two dozen interviews conducted in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas.” The Times adds that “after two years of zigzagging policy and roller coaster emotions, terrible loss and tantalizing false dawns, closing borders and intermittently shuttered schools,” along with new anxieties over the Omicron variant, “people’s resilience has dwindled.”
