Kevin Volpp, director of the Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics at the University of Pennsylvania, said, “It’s a little bit like riding a roller coaster and everyone is wondering: Are we going to be going up or are we going to be going down? … I feel like people collectively have been carrying around this huge burden of worrying about covid, and it affects their lives, their performance in lots of ways. People are really worn out by that.”
