It is disheartening to see family slip away. As the elderly are put out of circulation, my ability to interact with the seniors in my family, or friends of or even passersby is now limited.

People in their later years are now in solitary confinement and the mental and physical stimulation they had is now gone. We no longer can share in routines that were part of life, and we all suffer. Holidays, fun celebrations and even grieving are now out of bounds and this is not good for the human condition. I see people shrinking physically , mentally and spiritually in isolation and it’s very hard to watch or understand.
