Coronavirus: the lockdown stories reprinted

Apr 18,2020 7:50 pm

Artist Angie Lafrance (@ramblerow) told us of their struggle with being alone during Lockdown

Bit by bit, countries are beginning to emerge from the Lockdown , some faster than others.

When The World began to shut down, to try and control the coronavirus, which we have interviewed, to see many of them, as coping strategies were. Now, we have gone Back To ask: how did you make the change during the lockout, and what have you learned?

'I learned the hard way'

the musician Laurie Wright, of Cheltenham, started at Lockdown .

the Lockdown of the whole was OK. I was with my parents for the whole thing, and we Get Along very well, so I was lucky compared to many That were completely isolated. I raised £1,750 for the NHS through live-streaming, and every night selling my music and merch. I have not a drink or drug pick-up, and managed to accept That there are Narcotics Anonymous meetings now on Zoom, and we are blessed to have the forum at all.

My recovery took a bash in the early Lockdown as I had through my recovery with chat I with a girl. The nature of the addiction is a bigger picture than drugs, That didn't go well, but it's OK now. There is a recovery record " and what are you in front of your recovery, you will lose,' and I learned the hard way That and not put anything before my recovery again. Recovery comes first, and the rest falls into place.

I learned How To cook even more, wrote 14 songs, and I found, like Most People who enjoy Hiking. I have learned That you need to be in London, or even out of The House more build a fan-base, which was cool, but a little scary That The World has become this way.

I look forward to touring the UK and Europe, as soon as it is allowed to do this.

"I had to reach so many people, to spread me'

Like millions of other Americans, artist Angie Lafrance, Maine, lost Her Job as a Corona-Virus. She spoke with The Bbc in April.

There are a lot of emotions tied to this new way of life, and I can always art is the channel for you through my. After the article was published, I had so many people from all parts of The World , the associated with the illustrations, which was stretched out to me and sharing your own experiences -That in itself I feel less isolated.

I, in any case, The Weight of uncertainty I still feel, when It Comes to thinking about The Future . Where I live, are the things That slowly begins to back up in phases but, of course, it is too far away from business as usual.

That hasn't Changed too much as far as my day-to-day life: I'm always isolated, usually, I follow the social practices of distancing and I have to wear a mask. I think, regardless of the Lockdown is becoming less and less strict, I still feel a personal responsibility to others for sure.

We can't control our current government is the answer, but we hold us personally responsible for Our Own active role in slowing the spread. I have friends who have lost relatives to The Virus , and I'll love me all The Time on My Own .

If I could go back In Time and give me some advice, I think it would be likely to focus on the things I can control. To lose my job, separated from My Friends and family, and the constant struggle between what is and is not serious enough, are not the things I can control or That I was prepared.

All I can do is take each day as It Comes and try to stay healthy and as positive and hopeful as I can.

'No One wants to. cry together in a two-Meter-distance'

Dr. Nick Schindler ' s grandfather, John Cohen died at the age of 99 while under Lockdown

Dr. Nick Schindler with his grandfather, John Cohen

I'm not sure, not to grieve whether or not we have started, for grandpa, it seems still quite real, and no amount of video chat on Zoom or WhatsApp seems to change the

We talk about him, we make jokes, and most of the times, we speak to remind him, but it's not the same. Even a short government-sanctioned meet-up in my parents ' garden is not quite the catharsis allow. No One wants to cry, together in a two-Meter distance, and we dare not risk giving in to even the shortest of hugs. So we have kept calm and carried on, what he would have done.

" were allowed to retrieve My parents, all of his stuff from the Dorm in The Last week, with the greatest precautions. It is curious to see his prize possessions in new places. He enjoyed always the organization, and wrestling control of the destiny tries to give everything he could, gone to us. We always rejected, of course. Now he will not take no for an answer, and so his carefully curated world is divided among our messy ones.

things are a poor substitute for family and I look forward working Together Again soon, and hugs.

'I'm stuck in a kind of limbo,'

Naomi, 21, is a final-year psychology student from Cardiff. since the coronavirus.

also, My finals ended last week, may be one of The Most stressful weeks of My Life . It was really drained. We can not mark The End of uni, so I'm stuck in a kind of limbo, where I feel That I still have not finished. It is a very strange place to be.

I was really scared, going into Lockdown , but then I've done quite a bit. Now That the measures have started, relieved That Spike my anxiety again. There is so much change happening. As we are allowed to go and meet with people, the distanced social, actually, I feel rather lonely.

I always have trouble with loneliness and feelings of isolation, especially because My Friends are very spread out. Lockdown was almost a comfortable place for me. I always communicate with My Friends on video-telephony or messaging, and if everyone made it didn't feel quite so lonely. But now, as we go Back To normal, those feelings are popping up.

I don't have many friends in Cardiff while my roommate does, so it is not so much. And The People I was talking about the country, they are now active. I have not seen My Family for the whole year, but I've come to start a new job next month, so my mom and My Brother to Help Me move. I think there are too many exciting things.

', It will lose a lot of changes to That fear,'

Angela Steatham, of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant in Wales, has chronic lymphocytic leukemia and is considered clinically to be particularly Vulnerable to The Virus , which means she was.

It was business as usual One Day , And Then suddenly, everything - for all The People of The World Changed . At the beginning, because it was a huge shock, I was very ready, my confidence in the government. But as we have seen, how you've treated it anywhere, I am now at The Stage where I don't trust, you are making The Best decisions for all.

I've lost much of my independence. I have always been a fiercely independent woman. For the First Time , I have to accept That it is in the care of others. I have characterized is extremely Vulnerable - I have never been a Vulnerable person in my entire life!

What is really strange - I think it's a bit like the Stockholm Syndrome - I'm kind of used to be in. I'm in the war-torn countries. I was in Kathmandu, on 9/11, I had to fly, with the Dalai Lama on a military jet. I've never been afraid. But only to drive to The Hospital was on Monday really pretty scary.

Because you told us, we were classified as clinically extremely Vulnerable , it gives you the feeling of fear. It will take a long time and a lot of changes, the fear of Vice versa.
