For many the idea of 'living with Covid' will be of little consequence. But a proportion of people, particularly those with suppressed immune systems or pre-existing mental health problems are likely to experience high levels of anxiety and this can limit their sense of safety and freedom to be out in the world and living their normal lives. Managing this anxiety will be key to 'living with Covid'.  Balancing our perception of threat, rationalising catastrophic thinking and taking steps to reduce avoidance will help us to rebuild confidence and reconnect us with our lives whilst maintaining a sense of safety.
