“WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF”
- Trump
Earlier in March of this year president Trump tweeted the foregoing. Perhaps many believed he was referring only to the economy, and how badly it would be hurt. Well, the economy which was deliberately shut down under the advice of medical experts seems to be slowly coming back to life at this point. However, what seems to be becoming a very unhealthy cure is probably the quarantine in which many people have been forced to stay and work from home. The cure in this case seems to be becoming problematic. The following excerpt seems to provide evidence for this.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of CBDistillery, the survey found 56% of respondents had been more stressed about work than ever before. This increased stress isn’t surprising, as 62% of respondents feel pressure from their company to be working beyond what is required of them as they work from home.
We all know that stress is not healthy. In fact, stress can weaken our immune systems and make us vulnerable to disease. Maybe we should start paying attention to this problem now, instead of waiting to see more severe long-term effects. Read the full article at the link below.
