Crouched in the back of the cab I have a choice: open the ABC News app and immediately inform myself of all the news I will need to know and broadcast that day or — in that gloom before dawn, and in those few moments I have to myself before the serious business of the day overwhelms me — do I open the Twitter account "Am I the Asshole"?

People who had no intention of being so closely quartered have been thrown together by necessity and have spent more time, more intensely, with each other than maybe they ever have before.
