My Biosource, a San Diego research firm, set out to measure how Americans have fared over the past 19 months dealing with the Coronavirus outbreak and its resulting downsides. Using granular data on physical and mental stress, the study resulted in a “stressflation” rating to illustrate the effects of a prolonged period of pandemic life on ordinary citizens — county by county, state by state — across the U.S.

The aggregated results were then ranked for a look at coping methods for the seemingly endless string of 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, revealing the spikes related to the pandemic.

In analyzing how Montgomery County residents fared, the My Biosource numbers showed its citizens did rather well. Our stressflation score landed it at the third lowest in the state.

Chester and Bucks citizens were even more at ease, taking the Commonwealth’s number one and two spots, respectively, for Coronavirus calm.

The population of Delaware County fretted much more, earning a rank of 58.

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