I think they've always been neurotic OCD autismo freaks but the government successfully managed to convince them that the coof is a literal plague. First there was the wave of mass media panic, conflicting information, daily newswatches of people who were already dying of cancer, heart issues, obesity and old age getting finished off by the initial more dangerous strain of covid and becoming "covid casualties". Then the doomposting and cherrypicking of worst case scenarios out of scientific studies began, they developed the headcanon of "long covid" which is a horrible terminal disease that is responsible for everything bad that happens in your life from your unhealthy skin through your hair falling out, your heart rate being erratic, bad sleep all the way to soylent prices being too high and people looking at you weirdly. (Hint: all of this is really happening to these people but it isn't because they have "long covid" if you catch my drift.)Here's my question about all these covid basket cases- were they always this neurotic and obsessive about health issues? Is that who these freaks are? Or did the pandemic unlock a vast swathe of dormant mental illness is perviously "normal" individuals. Like, were these people the ones who were already going to the doctor once a week thinking something was giving them cancer?
A lot of these people live in countries where the government truly did fuck everyone's life up mercilessly over nothing in particular, and living for two whole years in legally forced seclusion can screw with anyone's brain. These people most likely just had a particular predisposition.
