I watched a German news piece around two weeks ago, and the hype was this group of Germans, who have been drawn into a rehab-like facility for 'fear' of Covid.
Some had actual Covid....got over it, and out of the end-stage....they generated up some form of extreme fear (anxiety)....that they'd get it again. They were fearful of public situations....standing around in some public situation (like a bus/train), and generating fear whenever they left the house. They seemed to be happy within the house....with zero threat.
But other individuals at this rehab-like facility....hadn't had Covid yet. They were on a similar anxiety or panic-attack feeling.
Via Friday night....if you watched ARD or ZDF (the two public TV networks)....you probably got an extreme dose of Omikron worry. Just off ARD, there probably was at least 30 minutes of continual chatter over Omikron, with 'Doctor Doom #1', 'Doctor Doom #2' and 'Doctor Doom #3'.
All of this brings me to three observations:
1. There's probably a mathematical formula existing now....if you generate x-amount of fear-porn news on topic-X.....you create four anxiety-drive people out of thin air. How you get rid of the four? Unknown.
2. This anxiety/panic-attack crowd now includes teenagers and juveniles. They were already bothered by the 'save-the-Earth-crowd'....so it just adds more burden to their little world.
3. Once you reach maximum capacity for handling all this stress....then what? You really don't need three million Germans walking around in some aggravated state or semi-panic-attack mode.
At some point on my Friday walk in the Christmas market.....you could see individuals who'd planted themselves at some point and just gazing at the market, the crowd, and keeping a fair distance. They seemed like they were trying to recognize the scene and get some 'feel-good' out of this, but the fear of getting Covid probably was a problem.
Going into 2022 with this?
