Is it realistic to expect over 70s to remain in their homes for 4 months?It depends how mobile n active the over 70s are. Do they have a garden or at least a balcony. ? They need some form of exercise to keep fit otherwise they will eat out of boredom n put on weight n muscles become weak. My husband n i are both 73 and i am a diabetic on insulin and prone to upper respiratory infections. We are trying to avoid people and take all precautions . Those seniors lucky enough to have a car should be able to drive to somewhere deserted -beach ,countryside n take a flask n folding chair to get fresh air n rid of stress. It should be possible to walk without coming into contact with others or touching surfaces. we have only been isolated by choice for two days and it's really hard n stressful . Maybe allocate a park or open space where seniors can exercise - maybe an outdoor tai chi class with plenty of space between. May God help us all .
