“It is difficult to obtain scarce narcissistic supply in a pandemic.”
Social isolation with the narcissist is a hostage situation: intermittent reinforcement leads to trauma bonding and the Stockholm Syndrome. The pandemic challenges the narcissist’s grandiosity.
Narcissists will totally ignore emergency warnings for them to stay at home and not go out unnecessary in public. They don’t listen to anyone. Narcissists will put other people’s health at risk just to get their needs met. They are parasites that feed off others.
