I grew bitter and resentful towards people who complained about how hard it was to work from home and all the downtime they had while I had to trudge into “critical” work everyday for low pay.

That does suck, I also grew bitter and resentful to all the people with families being like “oh I got fit and healthy and spent time with my loved ones” while I went over 3 months without a single face to face conversation with anyone…

My cousin's wife divorced him after 6 months to move to her home country. Her stated reason was that during lockdown, she was isolated from her friends and family, and she couldn't handle being alone again.

It was hard on all of us but...uh...what does she think the rest of us single people did?

These comics always confuse me because I forget anyone other than children had to stay home (and even that didn't last too long)

People stayed home for like a year where I was.

That must have been miserable for opposite reasons than my experience. :( Not fair that some people had to do that, but not enough to actually keep the numbers down.

Oh no it totally kept the numbers down and most of the country never saw Covid during the pandemic.
