So that'll be a TV dinner for one tonight. You know, I like the enchiladas and the teriyaki too...
Pah, social interaction isn't all it's cracked up to be. Trust me, I've tried it ;)

"Stay indoors and avoid people", they said. "Do what you do every day" is what I heard.

Funny when you think about it, there's really only one plausible reason introverts (myself included) exist, from an evolutionary point of view that is. In almost all other situations, evolution prefers extroversion -- the 'safety in numbers' and being part of the pack/tribe. But disease will have spread more quickly through those ancestors that liked to socialise. So, in a strange kind of way, introverts owe their existence to history's pandemics.

The only way to pull off a lockdown afternoon 'quickie' with their 8-year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Mars Bar and tell him to report on all the street activities. He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:
'There's a car being towed from the car park,' he shouted.
'An ambulance just drove by!'
'Looks like the Andersons have company,' he called out.
'Matt's out on his bike and his mum is telling him off'
'Looks as if the Sanders are going into full isolation!'
'Jason has had his skate board taken off him
After a few moments he announced, 'The Coopers are having sex!!'
Startled, his mum and dad shot up in bed!
Dad cautiously called out,
'How do you know they're having sex?'
'Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Mars Bar'
