Coronavirus fears are causing “delusional pyschosis” in Americans, cautions psychiatrist
A few quotes from the article:
“Over the past few months, millions of Americans have grown afraid of catching the COVID-19 virus and dying from it. But whether these people were fed lies or unknowingly consumed misinformation online, the result is the same: delusional psychosis.”
“ Unfortunately, the fear-driven delusional psychosis that afflicts millions of Americans today has led to many disturbing incidents throughout this pandemic.”
McDonald said that .... “colleague attacking colleague” behavior is something that he has never seen before. He likened this behavior to that seen in China, where the government incentivizes citizens turning on family and neighbors. “This has a terribly damaging effect on our society,”
