I totally agree. Many people went into depression and anxiety because of this situation. My mom always have been a person very grounded always took decisions with her head and never been a queen drama. But this times.. changed her OMG I couldn't recognise her.
In media in my country was so many news scaring elderly people so bad. One news was that the government want to take away the elderly from their houses, away from their families and put them in places specially designed to quarantine them and isolated to be.. safe. My mom was terrified. :'' they want to kill us '' I told her:'' is not possible, pls stop reading all news u see on fb is fake, many are fake , imposiibile to be true, they want to put panic into you all readers, is not possible something like this to happen, we are not at Nazy times to take all elderly and put them in a concentration camp, pls stop believe this, we are part of Eu this is against human rights, nobody will be taken away '' ... but she insisted;'' no, no they said all people over 65yo will be taken away from families and put in isolation, they said and on tv pls come home, pls come home, they will kill us '' .... wow,,, I thought she will die from a heart attack before to any COVID infection. I couldn't convince her but thank God they said on tv that this will never happen even... someone from health department purposed this. That why I said anxiety given by all this news media tv etc affected the mental health f people much more then Covid itself.

President Klaus Iohannis had to reassure Romanian people the other day at a news conference that the government will not impose any measures that would separate elderly citizens from their families. The head of state had to make this declaration, as the director of the Matei Balş Epidemiological Institute of Bucharest, Adrian-Streinu Cercel, had come up with a rather austere plan, causing a public outcry.
The institute’s director had proposed that citizens above 65 years of age would be best protected from getting infected with the coronavirus if they were separated and put in quarantine. According to his plan, when social distancing restrictions are finally eased in Romania, people belonging to the 65+ age group should leave their family environments and move to various quarantine locations for a period of 12 weeks.
President Iohannis harshly criticized Cercel’s plan, entitled “The Great Vacation.” As the president said, the whole idea was “an unacceptable aberration, worthy of a totalitarian regime, not a democratic country in the 21st century.”
The director of the epidemiological institute actually outlined four risk groups in his plan. Besides citizens more than 65 years old, he also specified those aged 45-65, people under 30, and those who have chronic conditions – so, basically all of society. Per his plan, citizens between the ages of 40 and 65 should also completely isolate themselves if their work is not considered “essential for the functioning of the country during the circumstances of the pandemic.”
“No one has to be afraid; we live in a free country, and the state will not enforce such totalitarian-like measures. Elderly citizens can rest assured; authorities will not remove them from their homes and put them in quarantine centers. We do not need any such panic-mongering statements; older people will be helped by being properly informed and counseled on how to avoid getting infected,” Iohannis emphasized.
