@NerdyPotato but how meny people are really in isolation. Most people have a phone or the internet. Know one is in there home and totally on there own. Ok sorry a lot of old people are but you don’t see them crying about what is going on

@Houdini of course most people still have contact with the outside world through social media and video, but that's not the same as seeing each other in person.
Because people in isolation can't go to birthday parties, demonstrations and talk shows, they are somewhat invisible. But an estimation is that in the Nederlands, 2 million out of 17 million people have hardly left their apartment for 7 months now, if at all.

@NerdyPotato I know what your saying. But is it any different to the people that are in prison that can’t do anything they want or for the people that are in any of the military forces that can only do what they told. Just think about it people are so selfish if they don’t get there own way and this is what this is really about. And if everyone would work together and stop putting obstacles in the way maybe we could get back to living a better life

@Houdini I think it is different, yes. Healthy people can't do everything they want, but still a lot. Meeting for a drink 6 feet apart isn't as fun as they are used to, but a whole lot better than video calling.
People in the military chose to give up their freedom, they still see their colleagues, can look forward to days off and know approximately when they can retire.
People in isolation were forced there, see absolutely nobody and there is no end in sight with the way the pandemic is handled in most countries.
I agree we should work together towards a better life. If everyone gave up going out for fun for just a little while, the virus would almost gone and everyone could go back to normal in a few weeks.
