The Decline of Social and Community Ties in the Age of the Pandemic

There's an insane rise in mental illness among young people and also suicide partially due to the pandemic. People are not able to find meaning outside of their own existence.

They were so desperate to be considered a victim class because that conferred some kind of status on them.
