How is Corona virus affecting people emotionally and physically?

I am also more or less housebound. I get groceries and any other essential every Thursday morning, and I go and see my children occasionally, but otherwise I hardly go out. As it happens, my writing and editing is filling in my time, as is keeping my property under control, but it is a while since some of the fun things have happened.

I'm going to stay with my grandson in a couple of days so his mom can get her hair done. I'm taking a chance, but it's worth it. I need to hug and play with my grandbaby. If we all die, so be it :-) I need some human contact, and my grandson needs it, too.

We have a lockdown, aimed at lowering the pace of spread, but so many openly defy it, so many top level government officials are caught neglecting it and so many are exempted from political reasons, that it undermines the entire idea and mostly irritates

[Ian]

A lockdown is useless unless it is enforced. In NZ we now think we have eliminated it a second time, but the general feeling is that if the border leaks again, a third time won't be so successful because people cannot tolerate another lockdown.

Stay safe, and enjoy your time with your grandson.

I found out that the lecturer, Michael Sugrue, has a YouTube channel on which he is posting his lectures.
