I live alone & when I’m lonely I call or text a friend like an adult as I am responsible for my own mental well-being. I have also had cancer this year so I wish lockdown was my biggest worry. Some of us have real problems to deal not mere inconveniences like not seeing friends.

NSW govt thinks they can do differently and do better than VIC govt

No shit

Shoving Generals I'm their face with militaristic slogans as 'ARM UP' whilst waving syringes about, is NOT helping.

Would defiantly be with my partner to support during the lockdown BUT AU won’t let me in! Let Citizens, PR & visa holders cross the borders! LoveIsNotTourisim OpenTheBorders

They dont care.

This is an ongoing problem. Governments have no idea what this is doing to people living alone. The lockdowns have been extremely difficult. When will the governments Australia wide acknowledge that this is a serious issue.

Kick back watch TV there is no reason to stress

I’m ok I think , what was the question😎

Hazard you are another wanker

We live at the north end of the central coast… My mother in law lives 5 minutes from my house… she lives alone… she would normally come round for dinner 2-3 times a week to see her grand children… she is struggling greatly with this
