How A Coming End To The Pandemic Is Causing Anxiety | Morning Joe | MSNBC

  1. Also, over 70 million voted for a man who tried to have his own veep murdered. What does that say about mental health in America?

    1. @Gary Campbell the fact that you seriously are taking me serious is the “comedy circuit “ a certified grade A pansy 😂

    2. Supposedly, more than that voted for a stage three Alzheimer’s patient to stand up as a puppet for the CCP.

  2. I personally have more anxiety over how many Americans voted Trump, and for re-election, how do you calculate that mental health issue.

    1. @Caise KC Kai I smell a salty loser, you poor little thing. Can’t get Biden out of your head? Maybe have some Covfefe and you’ll feel good again?

    2. Let’s try to keep it in perspective. There are more than 300 million people in this country, 74 million of whom voted for Trump. Which means Trump supporters are horribly outnumbered in America, by a factor of more than 3-to-1.

  3. Man, I lost my car key, the only one I have, for five days. I couldn’t remember what I’d been wearing the last day I had driven to town. I searched EVERYWHERE, inside, outside, in the washing machine. I searched in places where I knew the key couldn’t possibly be. I looked anyway. Several times. Then, the day before yesterday I was out walking my dog and suddenly, the jacket I’d been wearing popped into my mind and I knew I I’d find the key in the pocket. It had been unusually warm the day I had chosen to wear it, dressy, Spring, fitted jacket that I put back in my armoire after returning home. Oddly, I never panicked during the entire episode, although I did worry when someone told me that the cost to replace the key would be in the 100’s of Euros. I’m glad to know that this lapse of memory has a name: End of Pandemic fog, even though in Italy the vaccine rollout is so slow, who knows when the end will come.

    1. @mike briganti you mean the lie that goes back to WMD in Bush/Chaney era? Tired of the right and left pushing their propaganda and changing the facts to suit their agenda. Peddle your alternative facts elsewhere

    1. You may find talk therapy helpful; loosing someone is traumatic and with everything else going on doubly so. <3

    2. @Katie Hettinger “Loosing”?

      I live in Taiwan. I don’t know anybody sick or who died. I sat for the last 15 months knowing what was coming and could do nothing about it. Taiwan knew and was testing people in December 2019.

  4. We cant ever let the GOP manage another national crisis. Obama/Biden successfully contained 4 pandemics. Trump/GOP failed miserably to contain just one and politicized it till it nearly destroyed the country.

    1. I’ll play along for a bit… why? The entire MSM called DJT a racist xenophobe for shutting down travel to China bc of covid. The Chinese communist media lied about the severity of this nasty nasty flu that they knew about and most likely released. Where is the outrage about that? Curious

    2. @Platinum Rayo well, China directly warned the CDC that their outbreak was out of control on Jan 3. When did team Trump brief the Democrats? Did Trump try to politicize it and use offensive terms when he spoke publicly? Why did he let 14000 China travelers per day into the US unscreened through Jan and part of Feb – including patient zero in Washington state? Where’s the outrage, redhat? Obama/Biden contained 4 epidemics, without politicizing and left dedicated assets that team Trump didnt use. Got any thoghts about that?

  5. My girls are afraid of returning to school (being around groups) they are having anxiety about it. I’m going to keep them on distance learning for now and have them see a therapist to help them prepare for it. These are the unfortunate consequences our children are facing.

    1. @Thomas Jensen sounds like your a judgmental twit who shouldn’t voice your negative opinions on this parent..

    2. We made the same decision for our boys. Next fall seems soon enough’ when vaccines for 9 to 15 year-olds are available. The odds are low for a poor out come in children, but if it’s your child it’s 100% of your child.

  6. Just hate the new Thank You clip at the end of ever MSNBC video. Can’t shut it off quick enough

  7. Oh I dunno the thought of going back to a crushing capitalistic society where you have 0 time for yourself

  8. I’m enjoying my kids being at home with me while they have been doing e learning. I was in a accident almost two years ago and became a paraplegic. And am sad and afraid to be home by myself when they get back to regular school because I have no one else to help me

    1. Sending strength and 💖💖💖💋💋💋 you’ve endured a lot you’re stronger than you think .your children are still there for you .hold your head up

    2. If online school has been good for your family, you should look into moving them to online school permanently. I have a couple friends who teach at an online school (and have for years) and it sounds like there are kids it works well for. Good luck to you

    3. Glad to hear you have a good relationship with your children. Hope you can find someone to help you when they return to school.

  9. Anyone else nervous about getting back into the rut of chasing money, and having their mind go back to numb? All those years just worried about the next paycheck forgetting all our goals and dreams. Putting the wrong priorities first. That’s what I’m most worried about.

    1. Me!! In the beginning I was like everybody where I just wanted for life to go back to normal. Then it slowed down and I began to appreciate it. Now I can’t imagine getting back on the mind-numbing life-sucking hamster wheel of office work everyday. Thinking about it is stressing me out. And yes, I acknowledge that I am fortunate to have this problem. It is real though.

    2. I have a feeling you are going to make other choices with your future and I’m excited to see what everyone dose. A lot of people have expressed a desire for a new normal that has time for self expression and care. The best of luck to you.

    3. A lot of people I know, including myself, have used this time being unemployed to make small businesses. I think the time away from a regular work life has inspired people. During this pandemic, service people were definitely treated the worst, expendable. All my friends who got covid all work in the service industry. I’ve a few friends that kept getting shut down bartending so they came together to make a syrup company. Everyone is looking for something a little more stable, of their own, and home based, after repeatedly being shut down, and not knowing if they were going to survive.

  10. What if there is a new normal emerging – I think when people try to get back to what was before they will find they seem different and not the same. Going back to commuting to work and sitting in an office space when you have had a year or so of doing it from home may be weird.

  11. The real crisis will be the millions of people facing “normal ” with a MASSIVE mortgage or rent debt they CANT pay and homelessness staring them in the face …

  12. I really dont want to return to the rat race where rich get richer and politicians serve them not regular people and where we cant get living wage.
