This. A lot of people lost their routine. People who never experienced stress and anxiety before are now bathing in it.
Maybe the stress is making them care less. "Why should I care about washing this house when the world is falling apart?"
Some of them may care more. "If I make a mistake here, I'll get fired and never find a job in 2020."
Either way, stress WILL increase the amount of mistakes done.
For example, this study saying that surgeons make up to 66% more mistakes during stressful situations. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181219191052.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181219191052.h...
It's daily stress, they describe it as people talking, machines beeping, etc.
Now imagine the result if you replace this daily regular stress with a fear of a pandemic, a fear of the economy crashing, a fear of the environmental crisis, etc.
People are bound to make more mistakes.
