Throughout the entire thing I've realize how comfy-cozy the lives of these people really are. Suggestions like:

  • Do laps around the backyard
  • Take 'alone time', put on a podcast and spend a few hours in the laundryroom
  • turn the basement into your own 'disney', create crafts, play twister,
  • students, keep your bedroom doors closed during online classes.

I haven't done a survey but even in countries like the USA and Canada, many if not most people live in apartments or condos, almost nobody I know in the UK has garages or a 'backyard' that isn't a tiny little cube (if anything).

For whatever reason this reminded me of a South Park episode where Rob Reiner is baffled at the working poor types having a smoke break to relax and sincerely asks "Well why wouldn't you just do what I do and take a nice long relaxing vacation in Hawaii instead?"

I heard one Lockdowner saying "Yes, I know what it's like, I had to cash out some of my retimement investment money" and I'd easily believe they actually think most of the poors also have that ability.
