I think it's just what happens when people have been isolated for a year. It blew up the riots too. Neurologically speaking, social isolation is bad for you. It only takes about 2 weeks in solitary confinement for a person's brain chemistry to start changing, and not that much longer to develop permanent symptoms. Obviously lockdown is different, but I feel the need to emphasize how brain-scrambling isolation can be for people not accustomed to it.

In any case no one has had social permission to celebrate about anything for almost a year, so all of it is being dumped into this one day. I just wonder if anyone else will ever realize they've been behaving like headcases.
