I live in France, where there are curfews, half lockdowns, and it's a real mess. The numbers of cases are just climbing continuously...
I've had the Covid, last March, when no one knew what it was really, got over it, eventually, though it seems to have tired me out a lot.
Now, with a 7 pm curfew where I live, TBH it doesn't make much difference to my life.
OK, it's harder to get my shopping through Drive-in, which I've done for years, as I detest shopping, and have a mobility problem.
I can't stop for a coffee when I go to town (as little as possible, it's about 15 miles away), and I do miss that when I feel the need.
We have to wear masks in towns and ALL shops, which makes it very hard to breathe or make any effort, I avoid it as much as I can. The trouble is that despite the masks, people are getting infected more and more, or maybe it's because they just do more tests, I don't know...
The schools are open still, and kids over 6 have to wear masks, which I really find unhealthy, both physically and mentally, along with Social Distancing, but only over 6!
I am lucky, as I'm in the countryside with a big garden, so even when we were on lockdown it didn't affect me much. I don't go out a lot, unless it's to a lake or forest! I read lots, watch films, listen to music, garden or DIY in the house when I can. Not really socializing at the best of times, lol!
I've started buying from farm drive shops, which have started up since the Covid, and it really is nice, fresh food. As they're going to continue, it's one great advancement there.
The only thing that really does get to me is the closed borders, as I do have my DS and GC's in England, and only hope I'll live long enough to see them again! I'm only 63, so I guess I will... There's internet too, so we do see who we talk to.
We did have the lines down for a month, no phone, no TV, no portable phone either as I'm in the mountains. I actually got used to it, and went to the village to call people.
Maybe this anti-socializing we're getting drummed into us is getting to be a habit.
In France, it's lots of promises, no action, and we're treated, IMHO, like naughty kids, if we don't stop getting sick we'll be on lockdown, sort of threats... I'm sure that if the people were treated as responsible adults, they would act more like responsible adults, but that isn't the case, at least for the majority.
I'm not on my own, we're two, so it's easier than for those who are and suffer from loneliness.
My sister, COPD, hasn't been out more than 2 or 3 times since it all began, living in the UK. Here the "at risks" have no special favours or advice given to them. If you're handicapped, you just have to work it out for yourself!
It hasn't been as well handled here as in the UK, and I can't see things improving in the near future.
The hospitals are full to breaking point, and the economy, especially for small businesses, is getting worse and worse!
My DS says England will be out of lockdown in April. Here I think it will be just beginning.
I thank my lucky stars every day for being an antisocial hermit, with a garden, and now the Spring on its way.
If I was in a flat in town, I think I'd be going mad by now.
