[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there's a difference between appreciating the slow pace and saying that your mental health is so much better etc. As said upthread, if a global pandemic doesn't make your life much worse, you were doing something wrong to begin with.

If you're not feeling at least mildly anxious right now, that's basically pathological.[/quote]

I think at least some of the people who are enjoying this are actually very anxious normally, but now feel they can control everything in their own domain. This is letting them feed anxiety that isn't healthy. Kids are totally under their control, spouses are under their control. The comfort they are feeling is really the fact that their anxiety is now unfettered. [/quote]

And conversely, some who are enjoying this realize that a global pandemic is the epitome of a situation that they can’t control. That literally the only thing they can do is sit at home, so they might as well make the best of it and enjoy the people in their presence.[/quote]
