A comment on I Miss My Bar. Parent comment

The parent comment was wrong to assume that people with families aren't also struggling due to dampened social lives - we're all struggling.

The people who are isolated by themselves are struggling much more.

In prison, the worst punishment you can receive is to be taken away from the all rapists and murderers, and put in solitary confinement. Being stuck in a prison cell with a partner and family probably sounds like a dream to the person stuck in a prison cell alone.

Depends on how abusive that family is. Because in reality, being alone with internet in appartment is not comparable to prison solitary lock down.

They are massively different.

People in solitary confinement aren't allowed to go anywhere or speak to anybody. What country has restrictions that keep you from socializing online or calling people on the phone? In most places you have never not been able to interact outdoors or go food shopping.
