Some time back I wrote about loneliness and how it is on the increase. With this vicious virus that is going around and with lockdown more and more people will be suffering from loneliness. One wonders what can be done to combat this I know that people wear face masks and are usually two metres apart but with the covering up of part of the face it removes the natural events where, when you are talking to someone you are also looking at their expressions to get some idea of whether they agree or disagree with you.

What I do find is that in most cases people’s neighbours are very good, trying their best to make sure that people in lockdown have everything they need. I am one of these myself I in lockdown, which means social isolation who ever thought that this scenery would ever arise again after the 1918 epidemic. I must admit that it is strange that they are now talking about the possibility of another type of pandemic coming from the same source, does this mean that the only way of stopping it is to have closed borders with quarantine very similar to what animals had when they were coming to stay in this country.

Have you ever looked at where the items that you are buying these days come from I personally have been checking on the source of manufacture and it all seems to be made in China, I even went to the extent of ordering something from a German company and lo and behold it was made in China. Now I’m not saying anything about the quality because it does appear to be good but does this mean that other places are getting more and more expensive and pricing themselves out of work?

I often wonder whether I am the only one that has noticed this because no one appears to be mentioning it.
