Why the “LOL”? Pretty sure the whole COVID experience caused untold harm to the world. I don’t get the laughing out loud? Please explain.

I think it's funny when people try to frame a global depression based on lock-down policies, as a result of the virus, instead of the policies themselves.

Right. Thanks for the response. Mental health issues are not funny IMO but hey, you do you. Yes the policies contributed to the issues as did the virus itself. No one likes uncertainty and there was a lot at first, still is.

The mental health issue isn't the funny part; people's attempts to reframe the root cause of the issue is.

lmao I am sorry man, but the root cause of the post pandemic depression according to you is the couple weeks of shutting down so that people didn't flood and overwhelm our hospital systems and not the virus that killed over a million Americans, caused all the destruction, and left who knows how many people with long haul symptoms.

'reframe the root cause' lol, I don't think it is that article doing that. Almost screams of some PeeWee Herman trolling IMO.

A "couple weeks"? LOL, you're joking right? I know many people who were unemployed due to the "two week shutdown" for well over a year. One person I know openly contemplated suicide during the pandemic due to his locked-down situation. He did get the shot, but it gave him shingles as a response to the jab.

Sure, some people have become more depressed by the effects that covid had on society. But the studies are about how the illness changes the way some of the sick feel from the effects of having the illness. Your saying others got depressed due to the lockdowns make light of or tries to ignore the effect having the sickness can have. You are trying to justify not taking measures that were taken to protect society. You would have to be an idiot to think if we did not take measures that there would not be more dire effects to society if we did not take measures.

The thing is, in that particular study which is referenced, there is no control group to compare against. The so-called evidence is corollary at best. Now, if they had also looked at non-covid infected individuals' pandemic-depression to compare against, then the study might be meaningful.

This is also interesting from the study itself:

"A further caveat is that we cannot attribute these symptoms to new onset of depression; individuals with acute infection could be less likely to recover from prior depressive episodes or those with preexisting depressive symptoms could have greater risk of contracting COVID-19. A 2021 claims-based study suggests a bidirectional association between COVID-19 and psychiatric illness."

You are pretending like that article you posted about Spain's lockdown for what 7 weeks of actual lockdown, is anything like what we went through in America?

lol you will just spout any stupid shit you like and think it ok to post, but it is not, it is death cult trolling bullshit.

People went through a whole hell of a lot in 2020. And there was a lot hammering people's mental health from every angle, but to pretend like you know that mental depression was not a result of people who got infected because you want to own the narrative with your feels is something that is 'lol' worthy every time.
