Interaction effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and regional deprivation on self-rated health: a cross-sectional study
SRH showed an overall increase in the post-pandemic groups relative to that in the disadvantaged pre-pandemic group. Possible reasons include changes in individuals' health perceptions through social comparison and the effective implementation of COVID-19 containment measures in South Korea. This paradoxical phenomenon has been named the "Eye of the Hurricane," as the vast majority of people who had not been infected by the virus may have viewed their health situation more favorably than they ordinarily would.
