The pandemic has also had a severe impact on the mental health of many people.
Lockdowns and their consequences have been well-covered, but there also seems to be some effect on people (kids especially) that could be pre-disposed to obsessive-compulsive behaviors, with the constant stress of this looming threat causing children to start obsessively washing their hands and becoming extremely cautious not to get infected.
