This 'Wuhan' Syndrome

There is a new phrase being thrown around in Germany, with the 'Wuhan' Syndrome.

Because of less contact and human interaction....Germans are getting stressed out. 

So there is a psychological problem starting to develop.  You toss in exhaustion (dealing with your kids full-time at home, worries over your job and bills adding up, and lack of a summer vacation), and you have a five star issue brewing.

With the constant barrage of news and virus-hype, then you fight off your nervousness and fears. 

You worry about your health, the older generation around you, and the economy.

Before all of this, you had various recreational things (bowling, soccer, tennis, etc) to keep you fit and active.  Now?  It's pretty limited.

At the end of this path.....then you deal with sleep interruptions. 

How many Germans affected?  Unknown.  But if this stretches on into the fall....I might suggest a quarter of the population needing some type of help.
