I just stumbled upon this thread, two years after. It's like a time capsule from a nightmare.

I'm just beginning to wake up

Did this really happen or was it just a bad dream?

Talk to at least one of my coworkers and you'd think it was still mid-2020. God almighty.

Trauma has a way of preventing people from moving forward, psychologically speaking. A lot of people were traumatized by the onset of covid.

Agreed.

It's not from trauma. The person is a crackhead so is pretty messed up in the brain, and tends to develop obsessive hangups, so them having an obsession with COV2 is par for the course. I'll spare you the excruciating details, but the person also has a longstanding religious devotion to a certain disgraced former White House occupant, that they are very open about, to an inappropriate enough extent that it affects the rest of our ability to our jobs (and has cost us more than a few customers).

So no, I don't think it's trauma from the particular event so much as a general obsessive disorder complicated by paranoid delusions.

I guess there's always one such nut in every workplace.
