Systemic stressors, such as the 9/11 attack or the 2008 to 2009 financial crisis, result in multidimensional changes at multiple levels conceptualized to influence patient outcomes such as survival and health-related quality of life. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents a natural experiment to assess the effects of such external stressors on patient outcomes. First, COVID-19 created an economic crisis, with at least 36 million Americans filing for unemployment [1].

The cicada, an insect with large clear wings, hibernates underground for 17 years. It takes almost two decades for this insect to slowly crawl out of the earth, to live, to breathe, to mate. As the United States slowly lifts quarantine and lockdowns, we find ourselves burrowing out of our own cocoons in which we have hunkered down to once again emerge to the light of day. We identify with the cicada in that this quarantine has surely felt like a full 17 years! And — coincidentally — it is this very year of 2020 that the broods of cicadas are emerging in droves.
We emerge gradually, with trepidation, masks still...
