Not me. Finally got off my duff and put out a fairly useful garden. So far three heritage tomato plants, two basil plants, one giant jalepeno plant, one eggplant, two types of mustard greens, flat leaf kale, okra, and bush beans.

That one certainly caught my eye. People around here wont do yardwork for anything less than $50 per hour. My yard has reverted to jungle & I might never hack my way out.
Be well, FRiend!

I’ve been there myself. Another sad point was that they heard of the D-Day invasion on the radio (June 6, 1944)...so close to Holland in some ways yet so far and almost exactly 2 months later they were all captured and despite the lateness in the war the Nazis still got them shipped off to concentration camps to die (and again as you said, Bergen-Belsen only weeks away from liberation), with Otto the only survivor...

I is a must to visit the house if you are ever in Amsterdam.

Depression can be rage turned inward.

And people are angry right now but they have no place to vent it. Can't do anything to blow off a little steam because those places are closed. This makes you even more angry and frustrated. And you still have no way to release it because, if you are a decent person, you can not turn it onto those around you because they didn't cause the problem.

And those that are stuck inside and not out in the fresh air and sunshine are going to feel even more gloomy.

You had plans, you have a LIFE and now you can not have it because of a stupid virus.

And then you are also bored. Because you can only do so many by your self activities.

All of this can lead even a normally cheerful person to be depressed.
