At the ripe old age of nearly 50  , I can kind of be phlegmatic about being locked up. What will be, will be.
However, I’m not sure at 20 or 30 I would have been. I would be climbing the walls by now. I do think this is harder on younger people. |

Lockdown doesn't bother me per se.
Not going to work as a routine does, as I've never had time off other than annual leave in 18yrs with current employer, I was aiming to reach 20 as a bit of a milestone/personal best.
Getting the point where even sex has become unimportant.

26 here.
It’s annoying, and boring but I am kind of getting used to it now.
I’ve been perfecting my baking skills, enjoying the sun and learnt how to do my own acrylic nails and wax, so win win!  |

Is it harder knowing that you have less of a life left, or that there's probably still an abundance of it in front of you? It's a personal decision, we each can only accept that we have just now, in each moment as it arrives.
Typically everyone has a similar situation, if people thought that others may be doing better than they are. Choose wisely how we invest our time. |

I’ve never had the good looks, sophisticated or not
In answer to your question - flip flops! Only so as I can dangle them off my feet and make that slapping noise! It drives the good lady nuts |

When I retired at 60 I vowed that the pipe and slippers and daytime T.V. was not for me and that I would go out every day come what may.
Now at the age of 80 this bloody lockdown has turned me into just what I aimed not to be, a pipe and slippers man watching daytime T.V.

"Young people basically being scarified,Italy had 9 deaths for under 30 and 8 of those had underlying health issues "
Yes it affects younger people less in the main. However they can still pass it onto others so they should be scared |

Think how long the world wars were. And food was in shorter supply for 2 years after WWII than during it apparently.
And in time we're going to build a better world than the one of the early 2000s for the younger folk, aren't we. |

This. The foundations for a more emphatic, less judgemental, less egocentric world have been in place for a long time (if not always).
We're seeing the fruition of these sentiments everywhere  |

I’m surviving perfectly fine.
I’m not sure what she has to do with age really? Some people will be climbing the walls, of all ages, some of us, are just patiently waiting for normality to set back in.
If anything it’s given me time to relax, enjoy other things and also catch up on the mountain of shows on Netflix I’ve added to my list! |

Sadly capitalism is a very powerful and persuasive ideology. |

Yes I do agree now retired and in my late sixties it is easier to exept,if I was in my late teens/twentys would have broken every rule to be honest but I still criticise them,they will learn and be better human beings I hope |

"Im 56 and coping i suppose but did have plans and goals for this year holidays etc ,and feel this year is a washout and at my age cant afford to miss any time ... "
We here what your saying, younger can wait year's for this to pass over, but they are the one's who are going to have to pay for it.The longer we stretch it out the more it will cost, same number will still die no one can change that. |
