Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:We note our limitations that offer opportunities for future research. The inversed U-shaped relationship that we found was limited to predicting burnout, a psychological syndrome under prolonged social stressors, and it is interesting to examine how the distance to epicenter predicts other mental health outcomes. The inversed U-shaped relationship is also limited to China, which had one clear epicenter in Wuhan, where Covid-19 originated. China is also a geographically large country, where the epicenter of Wuhan happens to be centrally located. Hence, ripple effect and typhoon eye effect may play out differently in other countries with multiple epicenters of Covid-19 (e.g. Washington State and New York State in the US) and distinct geographical features. Nonetheless, our results point to the need for further studies to determine how the two effects may dominate each other in other Covid-19 infected areas to enable better identification of those who are in greater need.
