It's getting really depressing now. In SA it's so strict that we cannot even go for a walk around the block. In the UK they at least gave an allowance to go for one form of exercise a day. Just heard that we cannot even walk to the shop for groceries. My car key is broken so I can't use my car until the lockdown is over which means I have to use an Uber. I'm only getting a fraction of my salary end April. So using an Uber is something I can't afford right now.
I know it's for our protection but I think it's a bit too much. I mean if you wear a mask and walk down the road, how is that different from standing in a queue waiting to go into the shop.
They only allow ten customers in a supermarket at a time. So you wait for ages outside. But in the shop there's about 20 staff members standing in a huddle talking with no spacial awareness nor are they wearing a mask!
I have anxiety, ADHD and depression so walking let's me relax and burn up my energy. Ive also got a 3 month old and I feel she's not getting stimulated at all. We have a garden but still. It's going to be months that we will be locked in. Nobody except key workers are allowed to work at all and there's no benefits except UIF which is a fraction of our salary.
