An increase of domestic violence at a time of forced domesticity, something that we can easily imagine, was plentifully in evidence in the first epicenter of the pandemic in China, where [divorces](https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/03/coronavirus-spike-in-divorces-as-fighting-couples-forced-into-isolation-report.html) have been spiking and the hashtag [#AntiDomesticViolenceDuringEpidemic #疫期反家暴#](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51705199) was used over 3,000 times in the first month of the epidemic.
