A few years ago, we had a very harsh winter in which an entire region was cut off from the outside world: all mobile phone masts and internet cables were damaged by the snow load. The roads were impassable and the schools were closed. About 1,800 people were affected, if I remember correctly. After 24 hours, the number of emergency calls to the psychosocial hotline increased significantly. After 48 hours, there was a drastic increase in reports of suicidal behaviour.

People had food, drink, a roof over their heads, warmth and, if necessary, personal contact with neighbours.

I don't understand this world.
