Slothitis is a medical condition that impinges a persons ability to move or react at regular human speeds. External observations and symptoms for the diagnosis of Slothitis may include: laziness, lethargy, dormancy, idleness, laxness, drowsiness, dullness, apathy, dreaminess, slowness, listlessness, tardiness... and do-nothingness.
A person suffering from Slothitis may often be found laying on a couch for days without having the need to move, too tired to talk, with cans and empty pizza boxes strewn across the lounge room while watching Netflix. Engaging with a person suffering from Slothitis will be almost pointless as they are usually sluggish, disinterested, passive, sleepy or perhaps even perpetually stuck between a state of slumber and awakeness.

As COVID-19 swept through the country, it became clear that the idleness, sluggishness, dormancy and unresponsiveness to the crisis was not from perceived apathy, but due to an undiagnosed case of 'Slothitis'.
