9. Lockdown not easy for some

Folks,

On a slightly different angle to posts so far, I am thinking about people who find a lock down particularly hard. I used to teach in a city college and some of our adult students lived alone and had mental heath issues. A common symptom was restlessness and an individual might walk for miles or hang around in public places, just to get out of their lonely room. A great help for such folks was group activities either in the college or in public cafes, libraries etc. I organised many of these groups.

I'm long retired so don't know what is going on now.
