Subject: RE: BS: Is incarcerating the over 7's ageist
I’m over 70. The lock-down has had little effect on me, the only difference it’s made to my life is that the local folk-music venues are all closed, band-bookings are all cancelled so I don’t get to play with the band, but I still play at home and I’m learning new material (so that’s a positive).

Otherwise, life goes on very much as it did before - I go to Tesco or Mozza’s twice a week in ‘Old Codger’s Hour’, my dog and I take an hour-and-a-half-or-so walk every day, I vacuum and dust as required, I cook Mrs Backwoodsperson’s dinner, I play my guitar, I fix things around the house that need fixing, yadda yadda. And Mrs Backwoodsperson is working at home - bonus!

Lock-down can go on for ever, AFAIC. It’s far preferable to a dose of Covid-19.
