What's interesting - and more telling? - is they didn't evaluate the non-Covid people. That is, how has the broader population fared mentally over the same timeframe? If that's 40 to 50% then being infected is a non-issue (or close). Without that comparison, the core survey has no context. Without that context the study has severely diminished value.
