While I agree the title is complete clickbait (this has nothing to do with quarantine - it's a letter about depression) dismissing the letter as "advice of the calibre you find on those one page per day calenders" is disingenuous. I found it quite interesting that most (not all) of the tips for coping with depression are exactly what people are told today, almost 200 years later.

While no longer advertised as such, alcohol is still a common pasttime ingrained in a lot of cultures. In informal advertising (e.g. Reddit memes), weed is a recurring theme and ingrained in a lot of people's daily routines. And on HN, articles and comments about how great psychedelics are make a regular appearance.
