Another large pool, at least in my circle, are very boring people who like having an external justification for their inaction. I would spend time with family, but there's a pandemic. I would take the kids to the park, but there's a pandemic. I would go to happy hour after work, but there's a pandemic. I would start exercising and losing weight, but the gym is closed, pandemic. Frankly, I don't care if people aren't interested in spending time with their family or going to happy hour during regular times. But the people who did so previously out of obligation find it convenient to have an external justification.
