Isolation Safety
I am wondering if any other ladies are fearing the end of isolation ? Being somewhat older and with other medical issues I have been self-isolating as much as possible for the last few months, going ...
Dear @BlackWidow
I very much doubt if you are alone! I had two weeks self isolation (coming back mid March from NZ) so was thrown in the deep end - lockdown was actually easier, I could get my own food and medication, and exercise outside my garden (my walking track was leaving a worn ring on the lawn). Most of what I really want to do again (concerts, philosophy and writing classes, gym, museum volunteering) are still out of reach and the cheery indifference of many who can’t work out what 1.5 metres is makes me a bit cross. For all they know I may be a carrier! So I too am taking things very slowly (and I do wear a mask in the supermarket as social distancing is nigh impossible). If you can continue to do so a bit longer without going mad, why not? We’ll feel much more confidant (and thankful) if the second wave does not eventuate. In any event, we will all have to live with this virus for some considerable time, so early adapters to the new normal (isn’t that us?) will have an advantage! Best wishes.
