I agree with the principle of what is being said. I was lucky in that my boss pretty much said the busy work was nuts. Go for a walk. Take some pictures. We can talk about our experiences before we do the stuff that must be done. (We were kept on payroll since we were expected to be available the day things opened up even the slightest and there was only so much professional development that we could do.) In other words, we were given a hobby to distract us from the pandemic and we built our own support network. Unfortunately, the government was stuck dealing with the big picture: how to control the spread of the virus and how to handle the immediate fallout. They gave people money, but they did not offer much guidance in how to cope with the change. In a way it was not their place and in a way it's difficult to do so due to the diversity of the population, but some guidance could have helped.
