21 April 2020: "Lead-off" topic for our "Free-for-All" Discussion over Zoom:

What might be some major psychological impacts of months of social isolation due to COVID-19?

Feel free to add your thoughts here!

Psychology discussion

Individuals:

• Some people are comfortable secluded (for a while.)
• Some people are already having problems dealing with it,

General response: Will people become more cooperative as this winds down or will competition increase?

• Yesterday I watched a video of a huge crowd of Trumpistas in (I think) San Diego waving Confederate flags & MAGA hats & huge posters calling COVID-19 a Communist Conspiracy while they yelled in pedestrians' faces and screamed "FREEDOM!" at passing cars, which were all honking approval. We need to close the border. It has always been an unspoken policy in the USA that The Economy is more important than a few million lives (Even American lives!); but now it's becoming explicit. -- Jess
