Found this an interesting read on BBC Future: www.bbc.com/future/article/20200401-covid-19-how-fear-of-coronavirus-is-changing-our-psychology
The studies mentioned are quite small but when you think about what’s happening with people judging each other and curtain-twitching and sniping about what’s essential it’s interesting to think about why that might be - that it’s perhaps something going on in people’s brains.
Worth a read, especially if you’re the kind of person who’d argue about whether laundry detergent is an essential purchase and all the other shite appearing on here.
