As someone who has suffered from severe social anxiety since childhood, it’s been quite wonderful walking through empty streets, parks, beaches etc..
Obviously, that’s countered by the devastating cost and the fear of loved ones getting infected. I realise this viewpoint will more than likely be in contrast to most of the population. On the plus side, I love my own company so this hasn’t been as challenging as it might have been otherwise. As long as I can keep in touch with my family who I am close to and see my small circle of friends on social media, it’s fine. Years of putting up with this horrific mental illness has prepared me for this time.
