Because if you read the article then you find out the the current "inactivity" is due to a lockdown being enforced. If you don't read the full thing you get the distinct impression from the headline and the pictures of pool tables that life is cushy and in fact they are on a good deal. I also object to the description of 30 minutes of phone calls a week (isn't it actually 20 minutes??) as being "luxury".

Perhaps I got out of bed on the wrong side this morning...
