I really think these sanctimonious scold people, to a large extent, want to be martyrs so badly it kills them. This is their
chance. They've never experienced war or real economic collapse, barely any kind of trauma or excitement, but oh now this must be the ticket!! The potential end of the world/humanity/the economy/capitalism as we know it!!!! It's their chance to prove to themselves they are STRONG, they have BETTER moral character! They don't need pesky things like a JOB or FRIENDS or A SOCIAL LIFE. Not when there's a Greater Good to attend to!!!

(False dichotomies are fun)
Suddenly, their meaningless, mediocre, social media-addicted lives have new importance because We Are In It Together. We are all soldiers now, all heroes, so long as we follow the protocol. It hurts, yes, it's agonizing, but what better and easier way to convince yourself you're better than everyone else around you? Stronger? Smarter? More determined?
It's an instant ego boost. It's as self-masturbatory and navel-gazing as any other SJW movement.

(Spoiler: it's also why BLM and all the protest activity is so addictive and enticing to people. They want to LARP as soldiers, heroes and great leaders in their fantasy civil war, End of Times and Great Turning Point).

And if these types do admit to COVID fatigue or pain from being autistically isolated to a degree no sane person ever would barring nuclear war, it's always with a loud social media declaration of:"I miss normal life so much I literally want to kill myself, but I care about grandma too much/the common man so I'm sacrificing. It's the LEAST I can do" (which implies if you have an issue with it, you're a heartless murderer, and also give me all the asspats).
Twitter in particular has brought these types out in droves. It's all hand-wringing, shouting, blaming, scolding, paranoia and insanity. There are patterns though, too, and I've been keeping track of them.
