I couldn’t disagree more. While for some during this pandemic they may have experienced a change of lifestyle (not going out etc) but they can still live their life in stable housing, with stable relationships and stable income, of course they can exercise and eat well.

But if you are facing this pandemic with no social support, unemployed, in insecure housing, or facing systemic stress, then not eating healthy and not exercising is ok. Getting through the profound stress of coronavirus for people facing poverty/ill health/ oppression is an accomplishment. Forget trying to maintain a perfect body.
