How can they possibly come a those conclusions when we’re still in the epidemic
Ironically, the first news article I stumbled across after leaving HN just now was “Simon Cowell broke his back falling off an electric bicycle”.

I've noticed that people who don't identify as bikers are more and more opting for an ebike over an oldskool bike by default (and bikers too, as another steed in the stable).
I don't think this is a bad thing for public health. Ebikes need pedalling too, they just assist. They assist quite a lot, which makes them fun to ride, and probably makes them more enticing to take out. The fact that they assist means you can go further in the same time, which is certainly what I witness happening amongst my bikehead friends and the people I meet in the mountains.

#13Being The Economist I suppose it makes sense they left out the absolutely massive shift in the trending of Marxism[1](~+900%) in the last few months.

#14This article is premature. There are many regions still either under partial lockdown or where people remain uneasy about going out. These trends may be interesting if they continue a year from now, but it's too early to tell.
I'd like to offer you my anecdote, suggesting this will have lasting effects: it forced me to learn cooking! My folks have commented on this a lot, I really stepped up my cooking game in this confinement. I've learned how to make a lot of pasta sauces, and how to do them _easily and quickly_, etc. The key was learning it well enough to become comfortable with it so that it doesn't loom as some esoteric activity which…
Mind to share some good pasta sauce ideas?

That seems to mirror the trend for "cultural marxism", a term frequently used by the alt-right, so that trend chart may not show what you think it does.

#16covid-19 has changed the ability to tell truth from lies in 90% of world's population for good, this one is for sure.

And I fucking despise you, downvoting cowards :) Enjoy your tiny power to make truth look bad in the eyes of the same moronic kin as you.

Nearly all of the "Related queries" contain reference to BLM. There's arguments to be made for many interpretations of the trends page.

Of course!
Marianara sauce: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015987-classic-marinara... You'd have to buy a san marazano can and spaghetti for this, a couple bucks each, and you can store each for quite a while. You can add meatballs in it if you're not a vegetarian.
Pesto sauce: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/07/best-pesto-recip... You might balk at the idea of having fresh basil... I would argue it's one of the things you really need in your life! Buy a small plant, it'll run you 3-4 dollars (if that). Keep it by your window sil so it gets some sunshine, and it looks pretty, and the responsibility of having to water it is calming and enjoyable.
A whit'ish sauce: https://lilluna.com/creamy-garlic-penne-pasta/
It really gets fun when you get fancy with it. I often add whatever vegetable I have at hand (e.g. , get some cumin seeds and bay leaves heated up in some olive oil, add some onions/garlic into this oil... and whatever spices you like and can handle (I'm partial to a bit of cayenne pepper, paprika, ground cumin), and finally add your $VEGETABLE). Add this to your pasta sauce.

You might get some exercise, but even if you don't, there are benefits to getting outside.
Sunlight improves your mood, improves your sleep cycle, and helps you produce vitamin D. Spending time in green space has mental benefits like reducing stress, improving focus, and improving creativity.
