Domestic violence was up 20% in my country in first weeks of quarantine. Police and social services were super worried it will get worse as quarantine takes longer.

I can google you some local media articles if you want to double-check via google translate.

It makes sense though. People spend more time together in close quarters. People lost jobs. Lots of stress all around. Perfect storm for beating that bastard you meet in the kitchen.

Let’s be honest. Most of the people on this site work from home (no financial worry) and are unmarried or probably no kids. They wouldn’t have any idea about the real cost of this quarantine to the 22 million unemployed Americans (and growing) who’s families were hurting even before this forced, indefinite unemployment.
