ADDITIONAL VICTIMS OF THE COVID-19 VIRUS THAT AREN'T CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN THE COVID-19 STATISTICS FROM MEDICAL AUTHORITIES

Possible need for government agencies monitoring the COVID-19 crisis to also include statistics for the number of persons who fit some or several of the following descriptions:


---they incur a medical injury such as an automobile accident that they maintain was triggered in part by their having high levels of anxiety and distraction and fear deriving from the COVID-19 medical crisis.


---they suffer a heart attack from gaining weight while confined inside their home during a period in which they have a daily need for exercise but have honored the government's request that they stay inside their home, and they do not own any exercise machine inside their home.


--they have an inter-personal conflict translating into alleged "domestic violence" that results in medical injury to themselves, their spouse, their boyfriend or girlfriend, or a child or other offspring of theirs or stepchild living with them inside their home, and that conflict derives in part from a "cabin fever" experience accompanied by claustrophobia and anxiety and fearfulness relating to the COVID-19 medical crisis.


---they are depressed over being unemployed or financially bankrupt during the COVID-19 crisis and they either attempt to commit or commit suicide.


---they incorrectly identify persons of any particular ancestry or ethnic or racial group or socioeconomic-status group as allegedly being "blameworthy" for the COVID-19 crisis, and they then commit an alleged "hate crime" or other type of crime against one or more individuals that is based on that very unfair perception of theirs. That "hate crime" or other type of crime could be very medically injurious or even fatal to the individuals victimized by those crimes.


--they respond to being unemployed by choosing to "join" an organized crime group that promises to offer them "guaranteed income on a short-term basis." The lure of organized crime groups during this period could possibly mislead thousands of Americans into a life of crime during this period. And that crime, in turn, could be medically injurious to others or injurious to the personal financial health of others.


--they attempt to steal money from others from inside their home by pursuing cyber crimes on the Internet. It seems very likely, in fact, that crimes on the Internet have significantly increased during the COVID-19 crisis. And theft of money from others could be very injurious to their short-term or long-term emotional health and medical health.


---they go deranged and exhibit what mental health professionals refer to as "psychotic behavior" relating to their feeling disoriented and angered by the government-imposed restrictions and other restrictions or prohibitions and financial deprivation and intense isolation imposed on their daily life as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.


--they develop an intense distrust toward anyone and everyone, since they now regard anyone and everyone as a possible carrier of the COVID-19 virus. That distrust, in turn, could trigger possible alleged violence toward anyone and everyone that individual suspects MIGHT look like they are a carrier of the virus. The individual accused of those outrageous crimes would then attempt to use the "COVID-19-inflicted temporary insanity" defense in a court of law.
