In my opinion the response of the Polish government has been very appropriate. Even before the fisrt case of coronavirus they had plans to stop the spread. When a few cases had been confirmed they closed all schools and other facilities to prevent more people getting ill. Gatherings and parties for above 50 people had been banned. All flights to Poland had been cancelled and borders got closed. The society hasn't been appropriate so far though- many students still took part in parties, countinued to go outside despite the given restrictions and used public transport for no reason.
Maladaptive daydreaming
Scientists estimate that an average person spends around 47% of their active time daydreaming. Doing so is considered healthy, as it enables us to slow down and collect our thoughts. Some people though, may experience daydreams so intensive that they get distracted very easily. Such a condition is called Maladaptive daydreaming or daydreaming disorder. It usually gets triggered by stimuli such as smell, noise, sound or even conversation topics. Maladaptive daydreaming can develop as a coping mechanisim in response to trauma or sustained and prolonged stress - it helps to switch off while feeling stressed out. Usually people who already suffer from other mental illnesses or disorders are prone to this condition. OCD, depression and anxiety might be the primary cause of developing maladaptive daydreaming. https://www.sleepfoundation.org/mental-health/maladaptive-daydreaming
Let's hope we're not going to end up like Italians, who couldn't stop going out and meeting friends until it was too late.
