Dr. Chhoda shares a story about a story about a 20-year-old junior at the University of Nebraska, who works as a server, cook and bartender. She was mocked by patrons for wearing a mask.

She stopped talking back. She also stopped wearing a mask. Her decision led to direct financial benefits. She used to make $30 or $40 a night in tips while wearing a mask, and it’s now “over $100 in tips every shift,” she said.

Dr. Chhoda also explores a first-of-its-kind study from the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) which finds 27.8% of U.S. adults had depression symptoms as of mid-April, compared to 8.5% before the COVID-19 pandemic. This means – COVID-19 has likely tripled depression rate.

The thing that was the most striking was – the biggest demographic difference came down to money. After adjusting for all other demographics, the researchers found that, during COVID, someone with less than $5,000 in savings was 50% more likely to have depression symptoms than someone with more than $5,000.
