Yes, indefinite restrictions will mean that eventually everyone develops severe mental issues.

Change the 5% to whatever you like, it doesn't matter.

I can deal just fine with the current mainland Europe restrictions. I can see my girlfriend, I can meet friends in video chats (and I do, multiple times per week). I definitely would prefer to end this distancing as soon as possible but I currently feel I could technically continue this indefinitely with very few ill effects.

That's lovely for you. I hope you enjoy your video chats.

I only commented in reaction to your wild claim of 100% mental problems.

If you're happy existing with one other person and video calls indefinitely, then I consider you to be an obvious troll.

Nah.

You are not everyone. I know people that are thriving under lockdown. I myself am at least doing better than before. I don't understand how you can think your experience is UNIVERSAL. common, sure. but universal?

Everything you can do now could have been done in Feb 2020.

I'm happy for you and hope that when the world returns to normality, you are able to apply the lessons you have learned.

Really? I could have WFH when no one allowed it?
