My Biosource, a San Diego research firm, set out to measure stressflation–how Americans have fared over the past 19 months dealing with the Coronavirus outbreak and its resulting downsides.

Using county-by-county data on physical and mental stress, the study resulted in a “stressflation” rating to illustrate the effects of a prolonged period of pandemic life.

The aggregated results were then ranked for a state-by-state look into how locals navigated the prolonged effects of COVID-19 and its roller-coaster components: outbreak warnings, infection rates, handwashing lessons, mask-wearing, quarantines, supply shortages, vaccination cards, and virtual versions of events from common business meetings to once-in-a-lifetime weddings and childbirths.

The study plotted data points of citizens’ reported feelings of physical and mental unease over the past five years, making spikes related to the pandemic easy to track.

For Philadelphia’s surrounding counties, Chester and Bucks were most at ease, taking the Commonwealth’s number one and two spots, respectively, for Coronavirus calm.

Montgomery County residents also fared well, Its stressflation score was the third lowest in the state.

Delaware Countians were much more anxious, earning a rank of 58.

And Philadelphians clearly lost much sleep over the crisis, revealing a 62 rating.
