I so agree and so do most people i know.i live alone,own flat ground floor,pleasant garden,im retired,but have reasonable pensions so i know im better than many but i normally sit my friends dog whilst shes at work,shes working from home,shes fed up too,done it since a pup.love him like my own,miss him so,i have a busy social lifemnow nothing,o yes we stay in touch with friends online etc but it isnt same as seeing people is it,socialising,etc.i miss stupid things like getting on a bus having my nails done,my beautician is a friend,i miss her to,ive been going to her for 20 odd yrs,my hairdresser is a friend to,i miss just ambling round city shops i walk into city to M&S twice a week just to feel normal..Another friend tells me shes finding home schooling hard,she just couldnt fathom out the work the school sent her son who is 10,shes a older mum 50,she said it meant nothing to her,im not a teacher she said.
This cant go on we need hope,im sick of fools who want this lockdown to go on indefinitely,the virus isnt going away we have to manage and live with it,not lockdown for months,it wont disappear,and those who prattle on we musnt want "pleasures" when people are dying,wanting our normal lives is all we want or some semblence of it and i feel,angry in 21st century,a bloody virus can mess our lives up this way.Lockdowm isnt because the government care who dies,its because they have ruined the NHS to a level it cant cope,im a cancer survivor,now fit and well,i want others to have same chance,it isnt only the virus that kiills people is it,its cancer,mental illness, domestic violence etc,the virus seems to be excluding everything else.
So dont think you wrong,you feel like many of us.we need to not be treated like kids but we need to have hope when this will start to end but with this shower in charge,will,that happen.planning seems beyond them.
