Weltweit müssen Menschen sich momentan distanzieren und auf ihr häusliches Umfeld zurückziehen, um eine schnelle, ungezügelte Verbreitung des Coronavirus einzudämmen.
Dies bedeutet auf zwischenmenschliche Begegnung, Austausch, Kontakt, berufliche Tätigkeit, Engagement, kulturelle Teilhabe und vieles mehr zu verzichten.
Dazu kommt die tägliche Sorge um nahestehende und besonders gefährdete Mitmenschen sowie existenzielle Sorgen um das eigene Wohlergehen und den drohenden Verlust des eigenen Arbeitsplatzes.
