During Covid-19, my local area went into various stages of social distancing, culminating in a partial lockdown. People who were used to mingling didn’t observe social distancing rules. The authorities had to start issuing tickets with penalties. At the opposite end of the spectrum, folks who were troglodyte were happy to have the perfect excuse to stay away. They are thriving in this environment. So, are you social or troglodyte?
