What I see here is a symptom of what this pandemic is doing to teens. The isolation along with boredom and restriction from even the most mundane activities is ruining their emotional health and overall well-being. Heartbreaking.
Youth rebounded just fine in the Roaring 20's after WW1 and the Spanish flu. All the hundreds of thousands of dead people...not so much.
Depression and suicide were rampant in the 1918 pandemic and WW1 era. It was a very rough time for emotional health. The virus itself caused long term psychiatric disorders, just as COVID appears to. Not something to take lightly.
