Some minor comfort perhaps, in knowing you aren't the only one who feels like you do. And that some of what you are feeling may have physical as well as mental causes. The opening bit about how the brains of lab mice are changed by isolation is interesting and a bit scary.

I think we should make every effort to make things as normal for kids as we can. Door to door is probably a really bad idea right now but there must be something we can do for them that safe.

Trick or treating kinda sucks here. All the units buy candy and security hands it out at concierge desk, the kids can't come to our door which sucks. I go to my parents on halloween to hand out candy.

ever thought about a candy chute, it's basically a peace a good diameter pvc strapped to a hand rail?
