Galvin (2020) reports that just because Asian Americans are not coming down with COVID-19 in the same numbers as other populations it does not mean they are not experiencing deteriorating health conditions. On the contrary, their mental health is failing for a third of their population. Why is this? Galvin (2020) speculates that it could be due to an uptick in anti-Asian sentiment; however, it could just as easily be that Asian-Americans see the lockdowns, the social distancing, the negation of the human personality caused by constant mask-wearing—they see all of it the same way many others do—as depressing and soul-crushing.
On the other hand, perhaps Asian Americans are being impacted by COVID and they are just not being tested, Galvin (2020) hypothesizes. This could also be the case, but the more intriguing component of the article is the question of why mental health is breaking down. The answer should be the same for all populations, since all populations are experiencing it.
The reality is that human beings are naturally social creatures and when the state, which should be looking out for them, tells human beings that a deadly, dangerous virus that kills a very small, minute portion of the population (no more than in a single flu season) is going around and that they all must obey and stay in their houses and not go to school and not see their friends or family and not open their businesses but if they must shop then it must be in the big corporate businesses where it is okay to shop but churches, no, those must stay closed because the COVID is deadly in churches, and it is also deadly in parks—so no parks;--when the state tells everyone that and everyone responds with a reluctant acceptance or even with full belief and compliance, it tends to be like a sledge hammer to one’s mental health. It is going to be that way for everyone, no matter their ethnicity.

Article Review: COVID-19 and the Mental Health Impact Upon Healthcare WorkersAmericans lauded healthcare workers as the nation�s heroes during the height of the pandemic. But, just like other Americans, healthcare workers too were also personally and intimately affected by the impact of COVID-19.

Response to Joseph DoYour article correctly points out how David Eisenman�s quote highlights the relatively long-term impacts of a disaster in terms of chronic disease emergency. As evident in the case of the COVID-19 global pandemic, disasters worsen current emergencies and exacerbate chronic conditions (Bates, 2019). While the pandemic has contributed to subsequent death, its effect on the treatment of chronic diseases is an example of how natural disasters worsen
