I have serious health issues and am very high risk. Therefore we took the 3 kids out of school this week and have been in total isolation as have family all over the world and a good friend in China so were extra aware of the likely situation here.
We are finding it unbelievably hard. Anyone else managing it? Kids are 10 to 14 and all used to being out doing sports all the time. One of them does 3 clubs a day and all day at weekends. The eldest is used to total freedom and is now locked in for fear of him meeting a friend if he went for a walk. He already has medical condition and mental health issues and only copes with regular psychotherapy.
We were well prepared ie bought 2nd freezer at end of January and have set up home gym but we were only expecting it to last for a few weeks but not for the length of time likely now. The kids already think it has been weeks! Have the added fear of not getting much needed prescriptions as others are reporting problems with our drugs. Luckily managing to get food deliveries from bakers/milk man/fruit &veg box as all set up early as we isolated relatively early.
Any tips to get through it or anyone just want to share experiences as we don't know any other families in long term isolation just the people doing it for 2 weeks for illness.
