I worked in the DC area (actually at the Pentagon) for 3.5 years, and came to hear daily of the woes for people traveling into work. For the record, I lived in a apartment about two miles west of the Pentagon, and my 'battle' took about 15 minutes to reach the front-door of the Pentagon (so I never whined). I rode a bus.
Some folks spent around 70 minutes in traffic (one-way).
So when Covid came around and folks got home-office expansion (from one day a week....to five days a week)....they got used to it.
They also got used to not engaging with other co-workers.
Staff meetings? They went to zoom-meetings.
So as Trump engages upon this and forces them back....I'll go and predict a PTSD-like illness starting up....where folks can't handle the 70-minute commute or hour-long staff meetings in one office, or having to deal with idiot-co-workers.
By March....I'll predict more than 10,000 gov't folks are in some mental crisis. The 'cure'? Well....some might get hospitalization (two weeks in some mental clinic). Most will end on paroxetine, sertraline, and venlafaxine (anxiety medication). Some will mix alcohol with these, and get harsh problems. Some will slip over to use cannabis.
At some point, some will start to talk about problems of nightmares, memory loss, confusion, and avoiding certain people. False memories will start to be reported.
A term will be created....Trump-delusions....identify these people.
Eventually, as they are let go (the gov't discovers it doesn't need them)....the delusions will continue on.....being a life-long problem.
All being connected to Covid? Well...yeah....this will be the public perception.
