I&#8217;m hoping that from this there&#8217;ll come more understanding, more things in place, because for some of us this is how we live, not leaving the house, not leaving our room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

I&#8217;m probably at a higher risk, I doubt death being any more likely from this than the common flu.<br>Despite this, lockdowns are more concerning to me than the actual virus, I am used to staying home, mostly in my room, getting on with what I can, for me the thought of possibly being unable to access my medication could be very detrimental, but this has been a concern over the years for several reasons, including our exit from the European Union, and climate change.<br>Like with all things, what happens happens, so I&#8217;ll hold on to hope for things to work out, because they have to, life will work in the end.<br>So this isn&#8217;t being seen as good by most people, but there&#8217;s so much good that could come out of this.<br>So personally I will be watching for how people connect, and how the world develops.<br>Here&#8217;s to future understanding and preparation for a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img
