The psychological shock hasn’t broadly set in I think. All this zoom cozy virtual partying will give way to a period of depressive retreat at some point among those new to it who didn’t opt in

My wife and I like to joke about how introverted we are, but honestly, it's a lot easier to joke about isolation when you're living with someone else.
If you're single and living alone now, I bet it doesn't take long for anyone, introverted or not, to get depressed.

Maybe come and go in waves as we we each have to face different parts of fear and grief both personal and societal. All in slightly different time zones.

This is grief, there are many stages to this process and everybody’s at a different place now. After depressive retreat there will be even more zoom parties.

Since natural, "out-and-about" social frictions aren't taking place, I think for many, and introverts especially, Zoom, et al. isn't going to cut it. Society has already shifted from voice calls to persistent messaging. This [Covid] is probably the final nail in the coffin.
