Absence of activities does not cheer up but suppresses like a heavy burden falling on the shoulders and making life unbearable. Boredom is similar to an insatiable bloodsucker, which gets into the skin painlessly, injecting poison for temporary paralysis, but later on it starts sucking all power and force that a person has. It poisons body and mind, cripples and kills.
The suspended conditions of uncertainty do not provide a relief, vice versa, they are a load that one can hardly fetch. Our quarantine unit gathered at least twenty people within a week. Most of them were people who had returned from the tuberculosis medical center, who had been earlier infected but managed to survive and recover. Like many newcomers, at first I treated them cautiously, but later I got used to them.
