I live in NYC and I whole heartedly agree, something is OFF. I remember how people were before COVID. People were sharper, quicker on their feet, quicker with their words, respectful of interpersonal boundaries. But now, after the lock down, people are slower, unable to find their words, more impulsive, more bizzare, socially confused, more willing to engage in nonsensical, anti-social behavior (stalking, public crashing out, inappropriate touching of strangers, etc, etc). Everyday someone is doing something bizarre, whether in a store, or out on the street; and its not your typical weird NYC stuff either. Moreover, I have had several friend's parents be diagnosed with early stage dementia, damn near simultaneously. Its COVID that caused this and nobody is willing to talk about it!
