I have all 3 of these + mental and physical exhaustion from barely leaving my flat for almost a year and now about to spend a the rest of a month not speaking in person to another human other than checkout staff. Haven't had COVID yet as far as I know.

Where I shop we have self-checkout. I haven't had a face to face conversation since the first London lockdown started, mid-March. I remain unconvinced that covid warrants such a gargantuan response, based on countless factors eg Sweden, Sage/Fergusson modelling blunders, UK stats authority highlighting governments incorrect data on eve of lockdown, etc, etc, it just goes on, but have very much enjoyed not having to commute to the office. Social life however couldn't be more dead.
