I have just had a row (on line obviously) with my DC. My DD has just said how surprised she is at how many old people are out shopping when they should be staying in. Another DD agreed with her and said they "don't get (understand) it". This was my reply " what do you suggest they do? There are a lot of people out there who have absolutely no one. Who live entirely on their own. Who don't have/ don't use computers (who couldn't book a food order even if they knew how because there aren't any). They couldn't stock up earlier because they couldn't afford to/ don't have the space/ don't have the means of carrying. I know we should all be staying in but it really is not easy for everyone. If you were really old and totally, absolutely on your own,would you rather die of Corona or starvation?" They probably won't speak to me again! Was I justified?
