I don't think the pandemic is the same as the other isolations mentionned. It's like the worst of both worlds: you can't see people face to face, but you aren't cut off from the incessant social media and all. You have to take further steps to either achieve a "real isolation", or to ensure that most of the time you spend on the internet/social media/etc is quality time that doesn't just makes you more anxious.

It is your decision to pay attention to the "news" and social media
