I have had more or less the same experience. Mostly, I get by, but the craziness around us made some strong banishings necessary. I know people whose fear of the coronavirus is so high that friendships are neglected, and in the media there are reports of brawls between people who don't wear masks and other persons. The big problem seems to me to be that there is no official idea how to get out of the pandemic and back to a normal way of life.
