Origin of Cabin Fever
This expression has existed since around the year 1900. Originally, it referred to someone who was isolated in a remote area during the winter. It was necessary to stay indoors for many days at a time, and it could make a person feel very trapped.
"I've noticed an increase in Posts the last few days!
Are folks in 'self-isolation' and spending more time on their computer? That's good if we can chat some more about stuff!
Yesterday, I went to a very popular 'summer time beach' and it was like summer...cars and people everywhere and a few people in the water!!!
So, while bars, restaurants and other public gatherings, sports venues are shut down, we can still get out in the fresh air and air is FREE and it'll do one good to get out!
If you've been thinking of getting back to 'a site', or finding a new one then today's the day! Go on, get out and get away from the dreaded cabin fever!"
