Are you suggesting the humantarian crisis in our LTC facilities is an equivalent harm to kids doing virtual school? This suggests to me that you have already decided where "the lives of C19 patients" should rank.
Ok, had a bit of a dig into the study. The 1 in 3 number is at best a bit misleading. They compared their online-recruited pandemic sample to a totally different survey run prior to the pandemic and found that there had been a sustained "increase" in certain issues

Oof, that's problematic. Thanks for looking into it!

Yeh it's not a great way to monitor changes. More encouragingly, in their longitudinal sample only using the same group ~during~ the pandemic it doesn't look like there's been much deterioration in HRQoL, mental health etc

So, for example, the pre-pandemic study found 10% of the sample had mental health problems, and then 18% in the pandemic sample. But the two samples have clear socioeconomic differences even at a casual glance, they are clearly not directly comparable

As to the psychosomatic problems, I think that's literally ~any~ reported stomach ache, headache etc in the last week, which imo makes it a bit unsurprising that the number is so high
