Half of Americans fear they’ll never fully recover from COVID pandemic stress

June 19, 2021

NEW YORK — Half of Americans say that the COVID-19 pandemic has been so stressful they worry they’ll never fully be able to de-stress, even after it’s all over. This is borne out by the numbers, too; 55 percent admit their current stress levels have left them feeling burnt out. Seven out of 10 Americans say they get upset or frustrated with someone in their household for no reason at least once a week. Nearly three in five respondents believe just having one extra hour of free time to do nothing every day would help their stress levels immensely. “It’s clear Americans are desperate to find a solution for their stress,” the spokesperson adds.
