Club Lunch: Pandemic Minds

As the echoes of Hong Kong’s COVID-19 restrictions fade, a new book emerges to illuminate the psychological aftermath. Pandemic Minds, by journalist and qualified psychotherapist Kate Whitehead, delves into the experiences of ordinary Hongkongers who grappled with extraordinary challenges during the pandemic.
Through a compelling blend of first-hand accounts, psychological insights, and hard data, Pandemic Minds provides an accessible exploration of the toll the pandemic has taken on mental health in Hong Kong. From stringent COVID-19 regulations to quarantine measures and travel restrictions, the city faced unique pressures that continue to reverberate.
