That means less old biddies clogging up the road network for the next few months. Fantastic :lol:
On a serious note, it can't be very nice if you're in that age group. My grandparents 85/87 love having their independence and enjoy visiting their local Waitrose weekly to get their shopping. To have them sat indoors permanently will more than likely send them even more loopy than they already are.
Me too being in the over 70's club and nothing else to do at the moment except wonder!
Does anyone find it extremely strange that the largest nation apart from the USA has hardly any reported coronovirus cases. I'm not usually a suspicious bloke but after what happened in Salisbury a couple of years ago?? Would be a good way to ruin the economies of other world leaders and end up being the richest in what will be left of the remaining world :!: Stupid thoughts I know, I must be bored with all this crap going on :roll:

I can't really see what you can do under the circumstances, I know a few over 70s and their life is being active and being out and about especially if living on their own with no immediate family so just staying at home is a tough one to bare and they're saying potentially up to 4 months
. Having said that its your life at risk so maybe no choice. Amazing to think a week ago all of this seemed far away in other countries now on our doorstep.
I work from home 2 days a week but I can see being asked to increase home working but I find it depressing as it is being on your own for extended periods
Mental health is going to nosedive with alot of people. Tim.
