Totally agree. I do think the anxiety of the fatality of Covid is reducing among people (as in more are thinking if I do catch it, I’ll recover), but that worry is being replaced by a mental health anxiety that is perpetuated by not knowing what is going to happen in our lives regarding money, jobs, length of time we are expected to go on like this.
I think the media are playing a dangerous (for want of a better word) game. There is scaremongering going on, and people are in danger of turning on each other.
Mixed messages being sent out. While people are still dying. But from what actual cause are they dying from?
I, for one, am getting frustrated and quite down about it all. As I imagine many are.

Brilliant point. It isn't necessarily a fear or anxiety of direct COVID infection, it is all the knock-on effects and problems that may come down the line.
I am not massively worried on a daily basis about the virus itself, but I do worry about where this all may end. Society will be changed for long time, hopefully for the better in a lot of ways. As long as people are clever in the way they handle their own personal circumstances, then I do actually see a positive future
YUP...COVID-19 has a lot of effects, on the blood and consequently on other organs, even in young and healthy people, including top class athletes and also children.
Anyone who thinks its "just a little flu" deserves to get it..... and see!
