“Absence of occupation is not rest,
A mind quite vacant is a mind distress'd.”

Sure bro, keep telling yourself that. Hey, maybe go by a hospital or morgue to help people out, see if this crisis gets resolved faster, if you're so bored.

"We've seen a year's worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks." — ABC7 News.  Suicides on the rise amid stay-at-home order, Bay Area medical professionals say.  I don't need to volunteer at a morgue to know that house arrest for 300 million people will cause more damage than Covid's .1% fatality rate (double the seasonal flu).  Get over it.  Quarantine the sick, not the healthy. 

I don't know anyone who can meditate food onto their table or pay their rent via meditation — I'm not saying it is impossible but certainly a stretch for the common man.  The focus of the point is 'the absence of occupation' not the benefits of meditation.
