From the CDC:

Coping with Stress

Pandemics can be stressful

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may be stressful for people. Fear and anxiety about a new disease and what could happen can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Public health actions, such as social distancing, can make people feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. However, these actions are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Coping with stress in a healthy way will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger.

Stress during an infectious disease outbreak can sometimes cause the following:

Fear and worry about your own health and the health of your loved ones, your financial situation or job, or loss of support services you rely on.

• Changes in sleep or eating patterns.
• Difficulty sleeping or concentrating.
• Worsening of chronic health problems.
• Worsening of mental health conditions.
• Increased use of tobacco, and/or alcohol and other substances.

Take care of your mental health

You may experience increased stress during this pandemic. Fear and anxiety can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions.

I love statistics. It was one of my favorite courses in college. I knew I was going to like the class, with the professor walked into class on the first day and immediately said: "Welcome, I'm going to teach you how to make statistics lie."

IMHO these kinds of statistics are someone justification for their behavior. But we all know statistics don't keep someone safe.

My Grandfather was a Professor at Case Institute of Technology (now Case Western Reserve University) use to say 'figures don't lie, but, liars figure'.

That's not a CDC citation.....which is what you referenced, and what was requested.
