15 April

How are people feeling during this time? When you read the history of previous pandemics, this is the rough succession of emotions people go through (not a joke). See if they sound familiar, social restrictions kick in between 3 and 4. 1) Denial - this is nothing to worry about. 2) Slight fear, suppressed with exaggerated confidence. 3) Fear - don't come near me you germ-carrying freak. 4) Freedom, holiday at home. 5) Boredom and snappiness. 6) Hope that this will be over soon. 7) Indifference to usual sources of pleasure. 8) Indifference to everything.
