ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When the country got locked down and education (if that's what you want to call it) went online, persons might have noticed themselves holding their breathe and having to remind themselves to literally breathe! or perhaps there was tingling or 'asleep' sensations in their extremities, especially experienced after periods of nonmovement, for example upon waking. It would persist longer, in recurrence of days and in length of sensation per day.
Upon children returning to in class, there were many observations that seem to differ from pre lockdown such as heightened anxiousness and hindrance in concentration ability. Prior to lockdown but well into integrating more technology into children's lives, the incidence of patience or not blurting out amidst other's conversations was markedly noticeable compared to the previous decades that classrooms of children were observed.
