gollark: Which is partly due to governments trying to isolate people a lot.
gollark: Anyway, to be honest it seems that the Covid-19 panic has been amplified out of control, and the reactions to it and reactions to those reactions may cause more problems than the actual disease.

gollark: Not necessarily. It makes it easier to type with both hands, which is faster.
