During the lock downs I began to suffer from megalomania. I went for my daily walk on near deserted streets eerily silent streets. Whenever I would spot someone in the distance they would immediately cross to the opposite side of the street. A few weeks of this, I started to play "tag" with them because they were afraid of me; of course my stature terrified them all 5 feet and 83 lbs. The power was intoxicating, I almost miss that power.

We have Long Stupid, so why not Perennial Stupid, the chronic form? I mean, when does the acute phase end? This was obviously a discriminating virus, since the 'antisocial' distance varied according to which country you were in. France, for example, had the Recalcitrant version that refused to travel more than 1 metre! Keeping males and females apart is probably related to the fact that the world population is set to decline later this century, for the first time since the Black Death.
