Is it realistic to expect over 70s to remain in their homes for 4 months?I totally agree with over 70s (AND others who are vulnerable because of underlying illnesses) staying at home for 4 months. What price safety? I am 64 myself and have been at home for 10 days now (underlying health issues) - yes it's lonely, yes it's a nuisance when I need things but, with the technology we have today, it is not an impossible ask. I have always been fiercely independent but now I AM asking friends and family for things that I need in the way of shopping etc. We have TV, internet (although I know not all have the internet) and phones, Many years ago there were no such 'luxuries' and people coped but it is always better to be safe than sorry. There are also numerous communities offering help to those people in isolation, to ensure everyone gets what they need. Stay safe and well people :o)
