Nearly half of Americans (48%) are anxious about the possibility of getting COVID‐19, and nearly four in 10 Americans (40%) are anxious about becoming seriously ill or dying from it, according to a new national poll released by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) March 15. However, many more Americans (62%) are anxious about the possibility of family and loved ones getting the coronavirus, the APA stated.
