Because of prolonged stress created by the COVID 19 pandemic, many people have experienced adrenal fatigue created by the General Adaptation Syndrome. Please explain, using COVID-19 as an example, what this is and how this process develops into adrenal fatigue or organ collapse. Be sure to explain each stage of GAS and which/how hormones are involved in your answer.
