According to the article agents “intervened” twice as much since the arrival of the pandemic as before, not that there’s been more crisis reports. Maybe the presence of normal crowds has a mitigating or calming effect on vulnerable people?

Well it’s pretty common knowledge that mental health issues have soared during the pandemic. It’s not just that many people are out of work or at least have lost their income security, but there is a huge amount of uncertainty at play. Uncertainty about when this will be over, when jobs will come back, exactly how dangerous it is out there, when classes can go back to “normal,” etc.
A lot of people are completely immune to the mental health effects that kind of uncertainty, but many others are profoundly affected by it.
