COVID-19的持续存在和提醒，以及控制、测试、测量或以其他方式监测这一大流行病的持续措施，正在对全球人口造成心理上的损害，即使部分人群开始接种疫苗。这种日常的“存在”正在以类似于战争时期或极端金融冲突的方式耗尽人类，其对人类心理健康的长期影响在本文中被称为CORONEX，即冠状病毒（COVID-19）引起的疲惫。这个术语是基于广泛的观察，而不是临床数据。长期的恐惧、不安全感和生活方式的根本改变会削弱心理防御，同时强化精神脆弱。特别容易受到COVID-19的健康和心理健康影响的是老年人，那些既存疾病，少数民族和医护人员。即使有疫苗，COVID-19诱导的疲劳（CORONEX）可能会在可预见的未来继续，因为人类学会了与这种流行病共存。对于那些幸存者，特别是生活在贫困条件下的社区，需要适当和强大的经济、心理情感和医疗保健支持结构。
The constant presence and reminder of COVID-19, as well as persistent measures to control, test, measure or otherwise monitor this pandemic are taking an eroding psychological toll on the global population, even as select populations begin to receive a vaccine. This daily “presence” is exhausting humanity in ways akin to times of war or extreme financial strife, and its long-term impact on human mental health is referred to in this paper as CORONEX, or exhaustion caused by the coronavirus, in this case COVID-19. This term is based on broad observations, but not on clinical data. Prolonged fear, insecurities, and radical changes to lifestyles can erode psychological defenses while fortifying mental frailties. Particularly vulnerable to both health and mental health impacts of COVID-19 are older individuals, those with pre-existing conditions, minorities, and healthcare workers. Even with vaccines, COVID-19-induced fatigue (CORONEX) will likely continue in the foreseeable future as humanity learns to coexist with this pandemic. Suitable and robust economic, psycho-emotive and healthcare support structures are needed for those that survive, even more so for communities living in under-privileged conditions.
