Upon asking our friends how they were doing with this endless lockdown of the whole world, we started hearing things like: "Oh, I'm in paradise..."..."I've never felt so good..."....."WHY haven't we thought of this before?"
While some people have a hard time dealing with the enforced isolation, others are reveling in it. What's the difference, we wondered? Stress. Certainly financial stress, but many people don't mind going to a simpler, actually healthier diet and saving money going out when staying home has many benefits.
