Lockdown Fever By Ryan Craner Taking the client advocate and consumer protection approach, Ryan has always viewed every client as a long-term and very important relationship. W hat is lockdown fever? When we are gripped by fearmongering in the media, start binge watching television, and wait around for the sign that it is safe to come outside, we are suffering from Lockdown Fever. Last spring, we were told, “Two weeks to flatten the curve.” Well, those two weeks turned into months and months of the same advisories and recommendations with no change in results. It was worse in some states than others. No matter where you live, stop living in fear and start living. There are many things you can do that are healthy, exciting, and most of all, COVID safe. This is something I strongly encourage each of my clients to consider. Start doing things that are fun and engaging again. I do not want anyone to become a statistic in any of these alarming trends that Lockdown Fever is creating in our communities. In July, data collected from the top 50 countries for COVID cases showed that lockdowns did not result in a reduction of hospitalization or death. However, lockdowns did correlate with an increase in depression, use of drugs and psychiatric medication, smoking, obesity, and economic decline.(1) I do not want anyone to become a statistic in any of these alarming trends. Several months later, a study found that “stringency of the measures settled to fight the pandemic, including lockdown, did not appear to be [directly] linked to the death rate.”(2) W e continue to find study after study with the same conclusion.
