Italian scientists say lockdowns DO cause public to suffer 'pandemic fatigue' quicker
Daily MailPeople suffered 'pandemic fatigue' three times quicker when they were in lockdown, a study has found. Italian scientists found the rate of pandemic fatigue accelerated when lockdown restrictions were harshest And Boris Johnson said repeatedly in his pre-lockdown press conferences at the time that he wanted to make sure decisions were taken 'at the right time' and not too soon. The scientists, from the Institute for Scientific Interchange in Turin, measured pandemic fatigue through increases in people's movement and time spent away from home. On average they found that people's movements increased by 0.08 per cent a day and their time spent away from increased 0.04 per cent a day. But this rocketed to 0.24 per cent more movement and 0.08 per cent more time outside the home per day when people were in harshest 'red' lockdown tier.
