I Am Lonely

Six-months of isolation is getting to me.Today has been high anxiety for me because of something, and being alone 24/7 is making it worse. I’m not sure I’ll still be sane in late 2021, if it takes that long for a vaccine. 😞

Can’t we still socialize?
@SinlessOnslaught Doubtful... Over 65's are supposed to isolate until a vaccine is found...

I’m in the high risk category. I had the flu back in late December. It went to my lungs as I’m asthmatic. It took me months to get back to normal. I don’t even want the flu again, let alone Covid, which is much worse. My neighbor has aged 20-years, since being infected. It ravaged her body. @SinlessOnslaught

@HootyTheNightOwl Over 60 here, or if you have other medical conditions.
@Carissimi I wish it was the same here... I'm asthmatic, too - so I understand your concerns about getting Covid19.

Our vulnerable group is free to resume normal activities at the end of this month and those on welfare are expected to be looking for employment again now, regardless of whether they are in the vulnerable group or not.

@Carissimi Infected with coronavirus? 😨

Are you in the U.K.? If so, I think it’s a real concern when they make you go back out there. Our governor has done a good job here, and even though we are in stage 3 of opening, its mandatory to wear masks, and keep your distance. The high risk are still expected to stay home as much as possible. @HootyTheNightOwl

@SinlessOnslaught Yes. She was in ICU for over a month. She’s been home for another month, and it’s done terrible things to her. I’ve heard it can take up to a year with physical and occupational therapy to get back to normal, and some don’t.

@Carissimi Wow 😳
@Carissimi Yes, I'm in England.

I watch News Radio on YT, and saw people at the pub. I wouldn’t feel safe there. @HootyTheNightOwl
@Carissimi Yes, pubs and hair salons re opened today.

I don't like it, either, especially when I haven't heard a lot of positive news about our track and trace system.

We also still have an entire city that has gone back into lockdown and, theoretically, these people could be going anywhere, potentially bringing the virus with them. The media has gone crazy, trying to flood the city with "Stay away" messages and businesses are turning people away who are outside the lockdown area.

As for me, I want to sit back and wait for some of this craziness to die down a bit more before I even think about doing anything.

I just watched a video of crowds of people drinking in the streets. No social distancing at all, and not a mask to be seen, although they’d need to remove it to drink. I can just imagine Corona virus rubbing its hands together, (if it were a cartoon), and saying, “ here I come, suckers!” @HootyTheNightOwl
