The notion of no reasonable social contact for potentially another 9 to 10 months is really&nbsp; hard to deal with.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Personally I do actually believe that unless it is the degree of reasonableness people will cease to comply with any restrictions. For people like myself the days pretty much merge together and I do try and use this time to do something productive as much as it is possible to do so. Other difficulties which occur are not merely due to isolation but for example in my particular circumstances the only person I see day to day is my partner and I&#8217;ve only had face-to-face contact with two or three other people in the course of nearly a year unless you include the occasional encounter with a shop assistant.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Looking at the number of deaths in the UK from covid-19 I can imagine a scenario where it does actually hit 200000 Mark it certainly I think going to be well in excess of 100000 even if there&#8217;s a miracle.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">So it makes you wonder what&#8217;s next martial law perhaps it still won&#8217;t make any difference because the Gene is already out of the bottle. I&#8217;m not really too sure what what the future is likely to bring at all for me personally. 80s I&#8217;m going to have major problems with my mental health soon if I&#8217;m not careful as I&#8217;m getting near the limit of tolerance on many matters.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Jotting down my random thoughts in this fashion is is quite satisfying as I&#8217;m not taking as much as I would be if I was actually typing thank goodness.
