We are carbo-loading beyond belief, indulging in “emotional eating” that is particularly pronounced among quarantined children.

Here’s the clinical description, per the WSJ: “Doctors said acne flare ups and other skin ailments such as psoriasis and eczema are surging as the health crisis causes stress levels to skyrocket and upends eating, sleeping and hygiene routines.”

We are grumpy, not getting enough sleep, drinking too much, missing our friends and colleagues, sick of seeing ourselves on Zoom, and … oh gosh. (Please insert your own gripes and comments here.)
