not only that but parents also have their kids home etc.. which wouldnt be the case under normal wfh conditions

  Absolutely! Those aren't relevant to my case, I live alone (which makes the loneliness worse). Yes, kids needing to do school from home requires a lot of time and effort, my co-workers are struggling to get their work completed because of it. I've taken over some of their tasks to help them out. Also if you are permanent WFH (which I am since I switched jobs in May), you set up your work environment differently. I rented a 2 bed room apartment so that I would have an "office" that I could close at the end of the day. If you live in the Bay Area generally you rent a shoe box of a place because you spend most of the time at work, that is not longer the case.

  ... and there's also a pretty wild election in the US, to add to people's anxiety.

    That alone has cost me many, many hours of lost sleep.
