SHOUT

Editorial

The pressure to be productive during this period of self-isolation is one of the daftest things I have ever seen. This is preceded by the assumption that everyone's at home having a great time, which is also one of the daftest things I have ever seen. Not everyone enjoys being home, it's even more difficult to do so if it's all day every day that you're home. It's impractical to assume one can keep up their full flow of studies and/or work doing it entirely from home when the situation is as abnormal as it is.

It's difficult to pretend that everything's alright and everyone in the entire world is taking a long unexpected vacation when that is not the case for a bunch of people who are either not privileged enough, or not healthy enough. It's impossible to not be worried.
